I think in the modern era it is impossible to seperate yourself to such levels from your peers but Brad probably would have had a 60-70 average

yeah this is really all you can do for comparison. bradman is so far seperated from his peers, it's unmatched in current times. as it is people have trouble deciding who is better between tendulkar, lara and even ponting, not to mention guys like kallis and dravid who in their own right could lay claim to being the best of their generation/era. in current day there is no clear best over his peers, no one has separated themselves above the rest of that top pack. but bradman....well we know the numbers.
