It has to be Bradman, to look past him is to be quite naive. His conversion rate is staggering, no-one will ever match him in all honesty.

I think everyone mentioning Bradman I think you must remeber that the bowling (bar. certian people-larwood) was much worse than today the whole standard of the game was much worse

Yes I agree with you on that, however the standard of bats and protection was far worse, these days players play with almost no fear. Back Then one mistake could land you in hospital.

uncovered pitches and have you seen snippets of laker and others hardly poor bowling is it...

i suspect anybody in any form of cricket even school ground cricket is averaging 99.9 surely can not be classed as anything apart from world class

Surely most people average at least 99.9 in schools cricket?

and that is a school boy error!! 99.9??????????? 99.4!! If you don't know that you don't know anything!

ok put it this way if your playing any cricket not micky mouse under 12 4 over stuff and averaging 99.4 (just for you) then your doing something right but to average this on uncovered pitches in test cricket then you my son you are world class

The Don used to practice with  a stump and a golf ball, . . . . wonder how many modern greats could do what he used to with them.

Ive wondered what would happen if lets say kevin pietersen went back and played a match, I think he would totally out class them, the standard is so much higher

its all hypothetical. cricketing prowess is relative to the era.

Got to say though i still think Don Bradman was the best of all time.
