C'mon bud, I'm not saying that at all. :lol: I'm not trying to discredit Bradman or anybody. Let's recap here- The discussion was merely whether you could take a guy from a previous era and plonk him into the current one. My argument is that the further back you go the less likely that is. Khan, So...

I posted a clip of him trying to hit a golf ball, which if he'd practiced more he'd have been a lot better at, and a 1 min clip of him giving some batting instruction that doesn't stand up to modern scrutiny. Oh and one article. Took 2 minutes. That's hardly great lengths, bud. It's all a bit moot,...

Wes is not 6ft 1in

Four different sources state it. Didn't believe it myself, but that's what they quoted.

Either way, the crux of the point stands

Another very poor 6 hitter is Wes. He might actually have to be the guy who plays anchor in the future. Just to put it into perspective Bennet has hit 10 sixes in 11 games. Wes has only managed 14 sixes in 60 games. I used to think it was just an age thing but Bennett has proven that to be false. M...

Well here's the question- Are you saying he'd average 99 in modern cricket? I'm saying he was a fantastic player for his time, but he wouldn't come close to that in the modern era. The main debate would be whether he was similar to the modern greats averaging in the 50's or not. Most people get upt...

Not really sure what you are trying to achieve Googly. Bradman was the best of his time. His stats back that up. He could only face what was in front of him and he dominated all of that. Give him the training, nutrition, coaches and equipment of today and I'm sure he would be just as a good. So many...

In a T20 I'm picking Maru all day. Dead serious. He plays shots that Bradman would never have heard of. Bradman is a pet topic of mine. I've watched hours of 1930's cricket in morbid fascination at their mannerisms and lack of ability . I'd rather watch Uganda Women play Churchill u13B You mentione...

It's all just another con by ZC. Pretending that they are actually improving things when they are not.

They are probably trying to figure out a way to get Utseya or Elton the job.

Bradman hit six 6's in 53 tests and no 6's in 238 first class games. You'd have to move the boundary rope in about 50m before he could clear the rope. If you stuck him in a time machine and got him to face an over from Brett Lee he'd do worse than Piers Morgan. Maruma has hit 116 first class sixes....
