I’ve been reading quite a lot about cricket on other websites, particularly Cricinfo. 

In reading about the top batters in Test cricket ATM, outside the top 4, Smith, Kohli, Williamson and Root, a few other relatively unsung batters appeared. 

Pujara- was outstanding in Aus. Also, Kohli has poor figures when his upper order fail, whilst Smith is much more effective when batting after a collapse. 

Pujara’s recent results have been outstanding. 

Two other batters, Nicholls and Latham, who I assume are Kiwis, are ranked 6th and 7th. 

I was very interested to read about this trio having had great recent success.
