Don Bradman's 99.94 Test Career Batting Average
In 80 Test cricket innings, Don Bradman -- aka 'The Don' -- scored his runs at an average of 99.94. The next guy on theTest batting averages list managed a tick over 60. We can do all sorts of mathematical comparisons with these numbers but they would all show one thing: Bradman is the best batsman the game has seen. That Test average of 99.94 is a number you need to know, a kind of shorthand for Bradman's exceptional talent. Just for good measure, his overall first-class average of 95.14 is unlikely to be beaten either.
