How good would Bradman have been at ODIs?

[karan316]

Karan - If you keep repeating it, it won't become true. Bradman was a level above any of your idols. Live with it.

I don't think so, you can never assume that Bradman would have been a good ODI player,
I cannot agree with each and every story made up about him,
there's only 1 batsman in the history of the game who would be a great batsmen in any given format in any given era, thats Viv Richards, his ODI strike rate is even better than most of the current ODI players and he tore apart the best bowling lineups single handedly in his time in both tests and ODIs,
we cannot judge what the current players would have been like without the helmet and other protective gears in the earlier eras , nor can we judge what Bradman could have been like against skilled bowlers of later eras who were ten times better than the pie chuckers of his time, but we can say with confidence that Viv would have been the greatest batsman, in tests or ODIs or t20s, in the current era, in his era or Bradman's era. There's no other batsman apart from Viv about whom we can make such assumptions.
And I can never agree that Bradman was a level above Viv.

This is the only part of your post that I agree with. Even I don't agree that Bradman was one level above Viv.

Only one? No way!

If his name was Bradulkar you'd be all over him like a cheap suit.

I love the way Bradman's statistics and efforts are somehow "made up". Brilliant.

And that everyone who bowled pre-1990 is a 'pie chucker'. Tendulkar would be no match for Harold Larwood, for example.

Did cricket actually exist before the 70s?

Did cricket actually exist before the 70s?

If it wasn't on TV it DIDN'T HAPPEN.

There's no way to know for sure.

Would ask Burgey but he told me he doesn't remember his 30s that well as he was high all the time.

My favourite part is that you will keep pushing your agenda forever as you are never going to convince people of your point of view.

Karan now the Australian middle order of Cricketweb, just need a couple more chances/threads and you'll see, he'll come good.

Bradman would have been truly awesome in ODI's.

But he took an arrow to the knee.
