Melbourne, Dec 22: Griffith University researcher Dr. Nicholas Rohde has used economic theory to prove that Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all time, ahead of even the great Sir Donald Bradman.
Rohde’s analysis compares batsmen from different eras and says India's Little Master, who will pad up against the Aussies at the MCG on Boxing Day, is the premier batsman in the game’s history.
Sachin Tendulkar has scored 15,183 Test runs at an average of 56.02 while the great Bradman posted the mythical average of 99.94 after playing 52 Tests and scoring 6,996 runs.
“The rankings are designed to allow for meaningful comparisons of players with careers of different lengths," Dr. Rohde said while speaking on the results of his study. The rankings by the researcher have been created according to a player's career aggregate runs, minus the total number of runs that an average player of that era would accumulate over the same number of innings.
That's settled then. We've been telling you for ages but you silly people have been blinded by your jealousy. Time to open your eyes.
Tendulkar is greater than Bradman

List seems like of ones who were better for the game rather than better at it.
I am not getting into any debates as to who was better, because an average of 100 will most likely flatten all my arguments, but I hope people don't confuse greater with better here.

....I spotted this article a few days ago and thought will I, or won't I send it to this site and whinde up these poor Indian supporters again in regards to the great Bradman....
The same went for when OZ were No.1 all those years and India couldn't reach them until 3-4 players retired they were saying then the point scoring system was wrong and in favour of OZ.......so it matters not what the facts are this mob whinge regardless of a little thing like facts...
It is truly hillarious reading some of there comments..

HAHA, ok.
What was his great statistical system? Modern batsman's runs are worth 2x Bradman's?

To counteract the notion that test runs are worth more now, then bowlers averages in the past must be valued a lot more than now.
