His 47.7 average is the highest by any England player of the last 50 years and I think he stands third or fourth of all time for England.

Highest average of the last 50 years is Joe Root.

All time averages he is 14th not 4th.
His 47.72 average is the highest by any England player in over 50 years who has completed their career, I should’ve made that clearer.

Root’s average is tumbling year on year and I expect Geoff may well maintain his record by the time Root retires as he’s only 0.27 ahead at this point.

He’s third all time ( joint ) for England for centuries as well I believe.
