George Headley would have had a Test average of 66.71 - chinaman - 08-06-2016
George Headley would have had a Test average of 66.71 if he didn't play after his last pre-war test in 1939. He had 3 Tests after WW2 scoring 29, 17* and 2 in 1948 at 39 years old and then 16 and 1 in 1954 as a 45 year old, therefore dropping his average to 60.83 (fractionally below 2nd best ever Pollock at 60.97)

Geoff Boycott played 36 ODIs.
In his first 18 games, he scored 235 runs @ 16.78 with a strike rate of 36.60
In his last 18 games, he may have figured out it's not Test cricket as he scored 847 runs @ 52.93 and SR of 61.61
