How can someone "deserve" to be a player like Bradman?

We probably shouldn't allow topics like these - Bradman is a one-off, no-one will get near to his average and it's almost wrong to suggest anyone might or is anywhere near his equal.

Certainly, he played 54 tests at an average of approximately 100 and played a few hundred tests with an average of 95, pure brilliance and a one off no one will better him for a long time if ever.

52 Tests, 80 innings, 29 centuries, 6996 runs, 99.94 average

234 First Class games, 338 innings, 117 centuries, 28067 runs, 95.14 average

No-one will better that.

certainly, remember alos he played on uncovered wickets, so basically multiply his average by 1 and a half and that is equivalent to what it is worth on conditions these days.

See you later Gilly! Thanks for the memories!

Hussey is close to Bradman...but its just the beginning and I know that there is no way that at the end of his career he will have an average higher than 99.94.

I highly doubt that Martyn would've gotten an average even close to Bradman's. I don't think anyone will ever get an average near bradmans.

Yea, that's true. Bradman didn't face the quality bowling that later developed after his time.

That is true somewhat, many bowlers in taht time used to barely be medium pace and bowled from 5 strides, but there were a few that were super quick Truemen, the bodyline bowlers, and tha Aussie aboriginal who they say is the fastest ever bowler. Sorry can not remember his name.

See you later Gilly! Thanks for the memories!

Rubbish!! Harold Larwood was seriously quick and hit practically every Aussie batsmen on the 1932 Bodyline Tour! Voce was quick too!

   Pitches weren't anywhere near the standard of today and they remained uncovered in all weathers.

It's silly to compare cricketers of different eras , but don't patronise the quicks of yesteryear - they were nasty fellows , just like todays guys!

Fact is , with the nice pitches and all that armour I'd say today's batsmen are bloody soft - in the old days it was a cap , thin gloves , a brittle box and a ton of courage.

I don't get it. Why does it matter if the pitch is covered or uncovered.

Yea, that's true. Bradman is the best batsman of all times.

I don't think there'll be a batsman like him even in a million years.
