Adverse condition isn't an excuse imo.

iirc it was another Atherton/McGrath situation with those two.
And knowing Bradman thought very highly of Morris, I’m sure that had some impact on his rating of Bedser.
Dismissed Morris 5 times in a series in 3 seperate series. (plus only 3 times in 48)

The difference between the Atherton/ McGrath and Morris/ Bedser situation was Morris actually did score lots of runs against Bedser as well.

Sure, in both their debut series in Australia.

I think he’s hard to run a line through when comparing to players of other eras. His raw numbers aren’t great but by all reports he was fantastic. He doesn’t sort of stand out from others pre-WW1 as much as the likes of Barnes and Grace so he’s harder to rate imho
He's definitely in this argument, but I really dunno where to rate him overall.

a very short and condensed peak period which coincided with flat wickets and a war ravaged english team with pretty terrible bowling, with Bedser (who himself could be middling on flat wickets) and mostly nothing, played some ATG knocks but once things got tougher/England recovered and made a decent bowling attack, he averaged 38.
