What does it prove? Gosh. Cricketing standards have improved a LOT. The skill level required now to score those runs are much more difficult than in bradmans Era.

How much difference of average between Sachin and other good batsmen playing in his era. Its I believe not more than 4 runs. What was the average difference between Bradman and the next best batsmen of his era? It must be 40-50 runs. And please dont compare 4 runs with 40 runs. There should not be question of different era...it will go against Sachin. We all know how cricket pitch is behaving in last 5 or 6 years and how batters like Samraweera, Trott averaging more than 50.

Yes, if you compare home and away averages of those batsmen, you can easily find who is the best.
And the key point you are missing here is that sachin is here since 1989, playing a whopping 177 tests averaging 56 - and still Samaraweeras or trotts can hardly catch up to the average!
Flattest of pitches is only in subcontinent, and Samaraweera averages that much because he plays most games at home, something that you could relate to bradman not to tends
