What's in an Average?

Graeme Wood > Tendulkar IMO.

His average is closer to Tendulkar's than Tendulkar's is to Bradman's.

Bradman's average still baffles me. The fact that 40 means a very good player, 50 basically means an elite player, and that no one averages over 60, and then there's one **** sitting on 100. Astounding.

I think averages should be overlooked when judging a player as they are a piece of statistical insignificance.

An average usually contains four (sometimes three, if you're rubbish enough) digits between 0 and 9 with a decimal point before the last two.
