Quick Single: The leading Test players from 16-17


BATTERS


Men


Six players cracked the four-figure run mark over the 16-17 period, but there was one standout in the 50-over arena: David Warner. The Australia vice-captain smashed seven centuries, failing to convert a fifty into triple-figures just once, including a career-best 179 against Pakistan on Australia Day. While Virat Kohli didn't crack the top five, the India captain's ridiculous numbers are worth a mention; 931 runs at 93.10 in 16 innings.
