almost everyone hails bradman as the undisputed greatest batsmen in the history of the game, ofcourse his stats support this claim
i solely agree with this claim since i have heard many experts state the same, well very few even argue it
but how great was this guy really, a 99 average is just out of this world
i mean tendulkar or lara would have to be from some next planet not even discovered yet to average in the 90s
in the modern game, more likely then not, u have to produce un playable deliveries to get them out.
i mean surely the quality of bowling back then could not have been as good as today, well consider the 80s and the 90s
the west indian bowlers, wasim waqar mgrath all produced nearly unplayable deliveries on a regular basis, now even if you are twice as good as lara or tendulkar, u woulldnt be able to lay bat on these balls
now people would say that, bradman was so much better then the modern greats, that he could play most balls that batsmen get out to today because of his talent and technique
but my question to them is that bowlers produce balls ranging from the ones that miss the bat by miles to ones that are jsut able to get that edge
we have all heard the phrase, he was too good of a batsmen, thats probably why he got a nick to it
now if bradman was actually alot better then the batsmen ranked after him, he should have been nicking those deliveries which great batsmen still are not able to nick
i just wonder how great bradman was
what was his strikerate like, did he really face quality bowling during his time? also we have to factor in he didnt play nowhere near as much cricket as tendulkar or lara, we have seen modern day batsmen averaging well above 70s if you dont consider all of thier careers
just on some other topic some guy mentioned pontings average in the last 65 tests was 75 something which is incredible, but it still doenst put him ahead of tendulkar or lara
bradman is a mystery to me, hes regarded as the undisputed greatest batsmen of all time
there must be some solid evidence to proove this claim apart from his stats
thats what im looking for
