I wanted to have a look at Test debuts for and as these are players coming up to 10 years as Test cricketers and should be in their prime. Now I dont know if it is too different to other periods as I havent looked but what struck me was that there was a lot of ordinary cricketers with a few very good ones standing out.
There appears to be little depth in the quality after the initial 'star players'. Is this potential 'lost generation' of decent-good Test roles players that should be in their prime right now a reason for the supposed current lack of Test quality?

Several of those seem to conform to patterns familiar - India with a lot of seamers and openers for instance. But the answer to the question is, I really don't know what it tells us. There are many players on there who I'd simply say never had any chance of success: Wiseman is a name who sticks-out.
