[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1017208, member: 72977"] As people have mention part of the issue is comparing players of different eras. The games were usually very different, different rules, different equipment. Imagine Federer using a racquet like Borg or McEnroe. Would he still be as good? For me in the end stats are the only true measure and averages especially. There are usually some players who have bright moments, but aren't consistent. Averages generally show who has competed at a high level consistently. Yes Bradman may not have faced the best bowlers ever, but to consistently score well and have that mental focus takes a great player regardless. [/QUOTE]
