The bowler with the highest Test average is a Pakistan fast bowler who got a five-for on his debut and ended up with a Player of the Match award, but could not carry on the dream start. This list is filled with players who couldn’t live up to their potential, and those who were part-timers or batting all-rounders. Can you get all the names?
