Greatest ever facing medium pacers, coward when facing the quicks.

just a 10 sec google search destroyed your argument

How many runs did Bradman score in the bodyline series?

Australia won the five-Test series 2–1, and Donald Bradman scored 974 runs at a batting average of 139.14, an aggregate record that still stands to this day.

now you can assume whatever you want about his state of mind, but id rather refer to facts!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I hate to destroy your argument but I think England won the bodyline series 4:1. Bradman scored 396.

[MegaBonus]

correct...serves me right for not double checking.....still averaged 56....still indicating how good he was even against the short ball

I agree, facts are great.

A bit like the fact that the above isn't true.

Also the fact that he refused to play in the first test.

And the fact that Douglas Jardine watched videos of him backing away from the quick ball.

His averaged dropped (nearly halved) when facing quick bowling. Showing he might be the greatest ever at medium pace but just a great batsmen at fast.

I'm not an expert on video recording equpiment so you will have to look that up for yourself.

The tape shows it though and the fact he was too scared to play.

Did they have tape in the 30's. I understand they had film but tape.

As I said before, I'm not an expert on filmpgraphy but I would think they had tape.

the tape shows him backing away to leg and slashing through an unprotected off side to still ave nearly 60

fact = you making assumptions you cant prove

No, the tape shows him running scared. He then refused to play in the first test and saw his average nearly halved.

Oh but you don't like those facts do you.

maybe bradman could have been a bit braver too ! he still has the runs on the board the likes you will never see again and this history will continue to haunt you to the point you have to deflect to try and minimise his outstanding achievements.

I have never played test cricket somof course he has more runs on the board than me.

A bit braver, he backed away and then refused to play. That's not needing to be "a bit braver" but nice try.

refused to play then did play and still caned you afterwards. no helmets back then so i suppose all those wearing helmets now are cowards as they might get hit in the head

I've never worn a helmet to play cricket but I wouldn't call it cowardice to wear protective equipment that can save your life.

Average halved due to his cowardice.

please dont fall into the trap of believing Hawksey and cementing fiction......

Hawksey, can you prove that he 'refused to play'?

so you admit a cricket ball constantly aimed at your head without a helmet can heighten the chances to kill you ?

I would think that an argument might be there to show that wearing a helmet could increase the chances of you being killed by a cricket ball. I would be intrigued to hear the stats on this.

huh ? so why do you think all batsmen wear them albeit they often take them off for slow bowlers now and then ? not sure what stats you could use to prove that they were potentially more fatal than not
