Battle of the Cricketers

Bradman for me. As great as Sobers was I don't think his versitility is enough to get past 99.94 as an average. The Don's so far ahead of anyone else it's almost scary.

Its really ironic that a while ago one Shane Warne seem to be running Bradman close. Bradman is clearly goin to win this contest which begs to question. Y did so many of u vote for Warne over Bradman and r now choosing Bradman so conclusively over Sobers. Am I to concur from this that u all consider Warne to be a better cricketer than Sobers??!!

During Bradman vs Warne many voted for Warne because we did not want a predictable winner. Warne over all is no contest realistically compared with Bradman we all know that.

Sobers vs Bradman though is a contest. To some Sobers>Bradman while to others Bradman>Sobers for their own reasons.

So a more serious vote count is being registered in this contest. It does not mean conclusions can be drawn on a Sobers vs Warne outcome.

SOBERS.

99.94 and all, Bradman is essentially a one-trick pony. Yes, he is by far the best batsman ever. The best cricketer, though...it has to be Sobers. Batsman, seam bowler, spin bowler.

Geez, it's 10-10, I think

That's not right, the best cricketer in history is one of those questions everyone knows.

Sir DG Bradman
