The Rest of the world average in the era's of the five greats and Don's extrapolated average
Code:
Player/Era ROW avg Don's avg
Richards 29.94 97.86
Gavaskar 30.08 98.34
Brian Lara 30.30 99.04
Wally Hammond 30.21 98.73
Don Bradman 30.58 99.94
I am afraid the final conclusion remains the same even though the figures are slightly different - Bradman's era was the best of the lot for batting ........ or had the best batsmen take your pick  |
I don't think anyone would quibble over a couple of runs. The Bradman and Richards eras showed a significant variance of 5% in your previous extrapolation, which could easily be interpreted as material.
