Cowdrey Batting

The former England great who played 114 Test matches between 1954 and 1975, batted at all positions in the batting order. He had opened the innings on several occasions and also played at number 3, but for the bulk of his career, he was a middle-order batsman who batted at number 4 or 5.

Cowdrey was a stroke-player of immense gift and became one of England's longest-serving cricketers in that era. He was also the first cricketer to complete the milestone of 100 Tests. He batted in the middle-order in 73 of those Tests and went on to become one of England's greatest batsman in those positions.

Cowdrey scored 4404 runs at an average of 43.17 and slammed 11 centuries in addition to 24 half-centuries.
