Bradmanesque

They just need to run the 100m & 200m backwards and the 100m & 200m hopping and then throw in a medley or two and Usain would be sweet.

ha exactly

Would watch a 100m hopping race tbh.

Marciano's record is nowhere near as statistically dominant as Bradman's over other batsmen. I mean, Mayweather just retired undefeated recently.

Keep twisting my words when you have no answers.

With regards to boxing, I had clearly mentioned that Marciano had no competition while Ali dominated at a time when there were too many boxing greats, Ali is rated highly because of the competition he faced. I never talked about the boxing game "evolving", my point was purely based on the competitive environment which was way more difficult than in Mayweather and Marciano's time.

Literally no one is saying that "Bradman plucked from the 1930s" would be better than everyone else (though he might be, who knows).

LOL, then how is he better than the players of the other eras?

Keep going in circles guys, this is why the number of users are not increasing on CW. A bunch of trolls want everyone to agree with them.

Cross-era comparisons in a sport like cricket are BS, we all know how much the game has changed since Bradman's time. Field placement, fitness, quality of bowling, reverse swing, improvement in spin bowling, fielding, number of quality teams, variety of conditions in which the players have to adapt, amount of cricket played, etc. Everything has changed, but DB has to be the greatest, all other players, despite of the hardwork and talent, are a tier below.

then why do you keep doing it??

No one else is

Well done, you finally got there

Could have been interesting if Bradman was not from England or Aus, he wouldn't have been glorified by a well-respected media.

 

[indiaholic]

You know he would have been. Everybody loves a batsman whose average is 4 standard deviations away from the mean.

At least Australia and England keep to limits. Bradman's ceiling is best ever batsman - rather than God

 

[indiaholic]

That is not the media's fault. He had a temple built to him. Just quality reporting imo.

 

[Shri]

Okay, lets take a legend of the game like Kallis. Now, his worst tours were usually tours to England and by the end of his career, he ended up averaging 35 there anyway. THats a 20 point drop from his overall average. If Bradman had a 20 point average drop due to a lot of reasons, he would still be the best test batsman in the history of the game. Its really insane how far away he is from the rest that most arguments against it done seriously are amusing.

Yeah if he was from India he would have been nowhere near as popular



oh wait

Are you sure it's not posters like you that are responsible?? It's not that you are posting a different view to the majority......that in itself would be fine and I'm sure most here would would engage with you. But seriously, the way you and jonbrooks have presented your arguments.........****ing dire mate.

Want some sauce with that chip on your shoulder???

strong tactics ITT tbh

Step 1: Have an unpopular opinion
Step 2: Give a plethora of nonsensical, irrelevant and just plain wrong reasons why you think so, making sure to be as rude as possible to everyone
Step 3: Other posters give respectful, patient, intelligent responses as to why the the popular opinion is what it is
Step 4: Have a whinge complaining that everyone is a troll and can't accept someone with a differing opinion
Step 5: ???????
Step 6: profit

Joseph Schooling > Phelps just quietly

Yeah but nether of them had Harold Larwood trying to maime them.

 

[mr_mister]

the fact that Hammond, Hutton, Headley and Hobbs are all considered top 10 batsmen of all time yet Bradman averaged way more than all of them is enough proof that you could stick him in any era and he'd be a gun

lets just accept that he was one of a kind

 

[karan316]

Its quite evident from the recent posts, you guys attack like a pack of dogs and go as far as you can to make others look bad and irrelevant. Old posters(or multis) over here want everyone to come to CricketWeb and blindly agree with them.

This is the reason why more people stick to PlanetCricket which has an authentic and more open-minded user base. Even when it comes to game promotions or related stuff people prefer PlanetCricket.

Not agreeing with me is one thing, but constantly taking jabs and targeting individuals is just not cool.
