Donald Bradman

Best 100 Athletes List

World's greatest ever cricketer and athlete.

Some will say cricket isn't mainstream but it is the passion of many colonial countries with India's fanatical cricket fans alone having a population of over one billion people.

England, Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, and the West Indies are the main players.

Clearly a world game on population alone, to rise to the top of such a huge base of participants bears comparison with any sportsman, any sport, anywhere.

Donald Bradman rose to the top of the game with a statistically clear superiority approximately twice as good as his nearest opponents.
The best of the rest, considered greats,amongst millions who have played, averaged around 50 runs an innings.A good international representative, but not great player, would average around 40.

Bradman averaged 99.

Is there any other athlete, in any other sport, anywhere, anytime whose record so clearly shows them to be the best that no argument is ever tendered or submitted?

No.Other athletes are better than their peers by margin, legend, or myth.

Bradman was twice as good as anyone else before or since....by legend... and by hard statistics.
