4 in the top 10 - the Australian batting is performing like The Beatles, circa 1964

The last time three batters from the same team occupied the top three places in the Test rankings was in December 1984, when Gordon Greenidge (810), Clive Lloyd (787), and Larry Gomes (773) from West Indies were at the top.

Between them, the 3 Australians at the top have 302 more rating points than Greenidge Lloyd and Gomes then managed.

[Donny]

"Australia's unrelentingly reliable quick Josh Hazlewood is homing in on the top spot in the world Test bowling rankings - with only the evergreen veteran tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin barring his way to No.1.

Hazlewood's terrific Test summer, in which he took 35 wickets at 15.31 apiece, concluded with his five-for in the second-Test win over New Zealand in Christchurch and moved him up to equal second-place in the rankings, alongside the previous No.1, Indian ace Jasprit Bumrah, on 847 points."
