Yeah well forgive me but whenever I see the words "The Greatest" mentioned in sporting circles one name comes to mind.

You are free to have your opinion on who the greatest batsman is.

I have mine.

In reply to NineMiles

True, but I cant imagine with an average of 99 how anyone can be better.

You used to post exclusively in the Back Room but lately you've been very active in this forum. What happened? You got worn down by Trump threads?

In reply to Priapus

World Cup, we discussing good teams with great cricketers. All the other times you guys discussing the pathetic Worst Indies.

Plus the daily Trump demise threads have dried, no more fun there.

nitro 2019-07-14 10:48:48 

In reply to Priapus

nitro 2019-07-14 10:49:07

If we're talking batting averages only, then Ganteaume is surely the greatest. razz

Greatness is measured by performance over time. He had the pleasure of playing one test.

In reply to nitro

So name the countries uncle Bradman play against? surprised

 
nitro 2019-07-14 13:16:45 

In reply to Priapus

Serena is one of the greats but not sure she is the GOAT.

It is not as clear cut as Bradman.

 
nitro 2019-07-14 13:17:40

He destroyed all he faced, that is the important thing.
