The Don's batting average in Test Matches was 99.94, which is truly exceptional.
His batting average in all first class cricket matches was "only" 95.14.
Having an average over 50 is the sign of a great test cricketer, and to double that, and be so far ahead of the next best puts Bradman on his own in the pantheon of cricket. Not to mention to have probably his best years interrupted by WW2.

Sir Don Bradman,as regarded as the best player ever,statistically,in any major sport,scored 6996 runs in a mere 80 innings with an average of 99.94
His garce even icreases when you see that he scored 29 centuries and 13 fifties in his 52 matches(80 innings),and he also stood not out in his 10 innings,so,of 70 innings in which he got out,there are only 28 innings in which he could not score over 50.His 12 innings of over 200 in a smallest possible career of 80 innings is just incredible.He was also the first one to have registered 2 scores of over 300.
Can't say anything because at that time balls were not counted,only minutes were counted.
