  1. Nothing short of great. He would have averaged around 50 in ODIs. But this distraction would had affected his test performance.

    Sorry Joel, those two answerers above me in that question were definitely dipshits. But that question was stupid, and those dipshits love answering that sort of q's.

    Edit: Hey, u don't know what happened today in the cricket section, so, edit ur answer to my question, or check the open questions in this section.


  2. he would be rocking

  3. He would done fairly well and as his SR rate even in test cricket

    is around 60. In ODI and T20 he would have a decent score and

    he used to be a ground stroke player. In his entire test career,

    he has hit 6 sixes but I believe he would have changed his game

    when it needed the most. I do not think he would fit the category

    of a slugger, but a classic batsman who plays and create his

    shots. ODI and T20 need shots creativity and also some slugging. I bet he would have done well in ODIs, but T20 it

    demands slugging and creativity.

  4. During his career, Bradman hit 46 sixes, although mostly in club/grade cricket in Sydney.

    But during his knock of 256 for Lithgow vs. Blackheath in a second-class game in NSW, Bradman and Wendell-Bill added 102 in three 8-ball overs. Bradman's contribution was 100. The sequence:

    First Over: 6, 6, 4, 2, 4, 4, 6, 1

    2nd Over:  6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 6, 4

    3rd Over:   1, 6, 6, 1, 1, 4, 4, 6

    This shows that if he wanted to he could easily have cut loose anytime and would easily have been an excellent cricketer in T20 and ODI formats. One must also remember his triple century in a day on the 1st day in the Leeds Test in 1930, where he scored 105 before luch, 115 in the second session, and 89 in the last session, disproving his critics that he could not score on "sticky" wickets in England. In 1948, he also put on a 2nd wicket stand of 301 with Arthur Morris, to lead Australia to win chasing 404 on the 5th day. No other team has ever scored more than 400 to win on the last day.

    These examples show that he would easily have been able to adapt his game for a faster format and even if his average wouldn't be 99.94, he would rank among the greats had he played ODI or T20.

  5. may be he will be a flop or failure

  6. Bradman would do well, there are no actuall records of what Bradman's S/R was in test cricket, BUT people estimate that his S/R was near 60 runs per 100 balls.(which is higher than Ponting's)

    He was talented that's for sure, BUT one problem (and it's a smal problem) is that he never hit a 6 in his career. His theory was that if you didn't hit the ball in the air then you couldn't get out. If he didn't hit the ball in the air in ODI's would he be able to hit the 4's !!

    With his unbeliveable talent and god S/R i would say that Bradman would average around 55 in ODI's

  7. he already played all his games like odis and t20s
