Good analysis, many thanks. One factor you’ve looked at for batsmen in particular might be useful here; peak years performance as it helps to reflect when a player was at his best and takes out early and late career blibs.
I’m slightly biased because, having watched Sobers I’m convinced he is the greatest but as rolling, say, 5 year analysis would be another fascinating way to answer the question of the best. Sobers in the mid 1960s would be my guess
