I would agree with you there Richard - I make the point simply because I believe, certainly when they were similar ages, that WG towered over his contemporaries in the same way Bradman did over his yet history has the Don up there on his own - personally I think they should share the same pedastalIn WG's day Test cricket was sufficiently unimportant for it to not be of enormous significance, though, no?
Think it was Matthew Engel who described 19th-century international cricket as "inchoate and haphazard".
By the way I do accept that because of the distance in time a meaningful comparison between the two is ..... shall we say wholly artificial?
