I wouldn't count modern FC runs as > than ODI runs. FC stuff from the pre-ODI period I'd consider of equal importance to ODI runs, but since international limited overs matches have become regular parts of the landscape, they clearly belong in between Test runs and FC stuff in assessing a player overall.
Quite true.
That may be but you can't rule out ODI runs all together.
I should have clarified I meant that I count pre ODI era FC runs as > ODI runs
Its better than digging up the grave and kissing his ****,See unless you have seen somebody bat or even have the knowhow of the era,its better to shut up.Off course sachin should not be compared to bradman and vice-versa.
Yes because all historical feats of yesterday should be completed ignored because I couldn't watch them on Foxtel and rewind and pause on IQ.
Then you must have seeen the level of bowling.and the distance of wicketkeeper to stumps.
I do not think so,what is ridiculous is comparing different era's.
Yes because all the bowlers pre colour television bowled off a two pace run up with a 4 piecer.
Teams,Pitches,Proffesionalism,.................................................i could go on but the point is era's cannot be compared.even more so in this case.
Gooch totals 49,136 by my calculation - not such a good average though and obviously not in the same league, but still a lot of runs
huh.
Money order?
Before ODIs and what not FC cricket was often the highest level of competition.
Apologies for posting this yet again, but it's one good way of setting Bradman's feats into context. This graph shows all the batting averages of every player who's played Test cricket (it's a couple of years out of date but that makes no real difference).
I'm not really getting your point...Bradman and his mates played without modern day protection equipment against extremely fast and accurate bowling?
