I was not suggesting they hadn't. I was mentally musing on how these tables so often pay little heed to longevity of a career when comparing performances. For example Our Jimmy's number of test wickets is indeed stupendously amazing but needs more careful consideration of the number of years and matches he has played if you wanted to say he was a "better" bowler than some of the others in the all time list. In fact, I think, you would need to do something similar to a Duckworth-Lewis-Stern analysis to assess the impact of their performances on the helping their team to success.3151 ÷ 59.45 = 53, so that's out 53 times in 34 matches (68 innings?), so I suggest they've worked out the average correctly.
