Best batsman to partner Bradman

It is a fascinating debate, but one of which I should rather like to steer clear, given its annoying penchant for bringing in such factors as the natural development of the game and the human body. Doubtless both have developed, but to give them a place in such epoch-spanning arguments as this is only to stagnate discussion and overlook the fact that, by employing them, the older eras are treated unfairly, their limitations used against them.

Not really, if anything we have a tendency to lionize the bygone eras and claim the modern batsman would be helpless with little protection, inferior equipment and nasty pitches.

I like to think that, as a young'un who knows his history, I have a reasonably balanced view.
