Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

Not really a stat

Don Bradman was unfit for active service in part because of poor eye sight :laugh:

Every other batsman in history must’ve been blind

An actual Bradman stat

He only hit 6 sixes in his test career, 0 in other first class games and once scored 300 in a first grade game without hitting one

Meanwhile, Mark Waugh claims that JFM is unlucky because he keeps getting caught :laugh:

Just because Anderson played a lot of tests is not an absurdly awesome stat...

I think the fact Don Bradman averaged 99.94 over a 20 year career but never held the World record for most runs scored is pretty absurd...
