Good years as an all rounder

Over the last three years, Jason Holder has produced some incredible numbers. His bowling stats are like something out of the 1800's, and he has also averaged over 40 with the bat at the same time.

It made me wonder about how well he fitted in compared to other all rounders from history.

Hot on the heels of my first ever animated graph last week, I have another one today, showing every player who had at least 5 three year periods where they were in the top 23% of run scorers and wicket takers, and where they had a batting average over 17. (That last condition was necessary due to a period where the batsmen were interchanged regularly in the 1880's, resulting in the top run scorers including some bowlers who averaged below 10 with the bat.)
