You're being a bit disingenuousYou have to consider that Hamish Rutherford & Peter Ingram were also guns at our first class level.
Munro has played 48 first class games and averages 51.6 with 13 100's
Hamish Rutherford 83 matches, average 35.3 and 11 100s
Peter Ingram 82 matches, 39.9 and 17 100s
Personally I think Munro's a flog, and Ingram is a nice comparison - but Munro's record is amazingly good compared with pretty much anyone - Glenn Turner, Martin Donnelly, Bert Sutcliffe, and Kane Williamson all average a smidgen under 50 in all first class cricket, Stewie Dempster down at 45]
Sadly a quick look suggests Munro might be in company with Crowe and nobody else - clearly he's trash compared to all those I've mentioned, but historically it's been difficult to average 50 in NZ conditions, and even with flatter wickets now it's only Munro... Sinclair at 48.6
I can't make sense of it
