How would Bradman fare if his career was taking place now instead of when it did?
Would he stand out like he did and would he average 99?
I know he played on uncovered wickets, without decent protective gear etc etc but still........how would he go now (as a 20-30 year old not a dead 90 year old that is)?
I say he couldn't possibly average 99 from 50 odd tests given the improved standards of fielding, the technology and analysis available, the training methods etc etc, but there is also the argument that everything is relative and he stood out then so he would stand out now.
I just can't see how anybody in the modern game could be that far ahead of the likes of Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting and the best at the moment.
