Tests 2022-23: Ranking Top 10 Test Batters
Test cricket saw some dazzling batting displays from batters across countries as records stumbled for fun.
8. Ollie Pope
Ollie Pope is a part of England’s Test team since 2018 and in these five years, he has proven himself as a top-order batter for the English side. 2022 was the best year for Pope as he accumulated 713 runs with a couple of hundreds and five fifties in 20 innings of 11 matches.
During New Zealand’s tour of England in June 2022, Pope looked spectacular with his bat, scoring 267 runs in six innings of three Tests. In the second Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Pope played a 145-run knock in the first innings and powered England to a five-wicket triumph.
Pope looked incredible in the South Africa Test series at home as well. Racking up 179 runs in five innings of three matches, he became the leading run-scorer in the tournament in England’s 2-1 victory over the Proteas in September 2022.
In December 2022, England played their first Test on Pakistan soil for the first time in 17 years. At the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the visitors kicked off their campaign positively with their emphatic 74-run win. In England’s comfortable victory, Ollie Pope’s 108-run innings played an important part.
