What were the major records set by sir Donald Bradman?
The main one was his career average. He averaged 99.94 at a time when batting was more difficult than today. In the modern era, batsmen have more protection and pitches are flat and even. Bradman played on uncovered pitches which were at the mercy of the weather at all times, making them unpredictable, and he had little protection when one did rear up at him off a length. Bradman averaged 99.94 runs per innings. Since then, only three players have averaged more than 60, and none of them more than 61. That is what makes him so remarkable. No matter what people say about comparing eras, you can compare them relatively, and Bradman was clearly twice as good as anybody else in his era. Tendulkar, Ponting and co are all incredible batsmen, but they are only fractionally ahead of the rest of the world, statistically. Bradman was a mile away from anyone. Now, they didn't play as much cricket back then, so obviously his mark of 7996 career runs has been surpassed, but everyone who has done it has taken more than twice as long as Bradman to get there. Statistically, he is the greatest sportsman of all time. To put it in perspective, a basketballer would need a career average of 43.0 ppg to dominate a sport like Bradman did, and nobody has averaged more than 30.1.
