Where does the cricketer Zaheer Khan live nowadays? I get rubbish jobs to sort out from a Zaheer Khan in Melbourne. He took a photo of a turd and sent it my way just two days ago.
On the other hand, maybe I don't want to know. It's kind of nice, thinking this guy who sends me poo and vomit photos is the great Zaheer Khan, rather than just a lesser Zaheer Khan.

Answer is obvious, because Rhodes was yet to born when Grace was Bradman Pro Max.

Actually its very easy equation
Sobers batting + bowling = Bradman batting
Bradman batting = WG batting
WG batting = Sobers batting + bowling
Sobers = WG minus Bowling
Hence proved WG clearly better.
Sobers batting + bowling = Bradman batting
Bradman batting = WG batting
WG batting = Sobers batting + bowling
Sobers = WG minus Bowling
Hence proved WG clearly better.

This takes me back to the 12th grade in school where we had a topic like inductive deduction or deductive induction whatever. We already know what we need to prove but just need to find the mathematical formula to solve it.

Mate, all I remember about 12th Std was to ensure you write 10 lines of working out some equation with whatever crap you want but suddenly around the 9th step, LHS starts becoming the same as RHS and the 10th line is when they are equal and the 11th line is "Hence Proved". That seemed to get marks everytime.

That's not so bad tbh. We always forget WG's bowling when we talk about rating him. He was an all rounder for all intents and purposes. He took more fivers than he scored hundreds!

Obvious answer here is WG Grace
Sober's the greater Test cricketer, and certainly the better cricket, but in terms of overall greatness WG Grace revolutionized the game. Cricket's first great superstar, first real 'professional', first player to make a lucrative living from the game. His First-Class career was 44 years long, the sheer volume of scorecards that bear his name must be staggering. One of the earliest batsmen to adopt backfoot and frontfoot play as well, many credit him with inventing modern day batsmanship. And he could bowl.
