Using the methodlogy listed above, I have come up with these numbers for different batsmen(in no order):
Player: Career Avg. Rating
1. Donald Bradman: 855.40
2. Viv Richards: 765.27
3. Brian Lara: 746.00
4. Sachin Tendulkar: 728.82
5. Matthew Hayden: 614.04
6. Ricky Ponting: 644.95
7. Steve Waugh: 666.14
8. Inzamam-ul Haq: 666.00
9. Adam Gilchrist: 738.33
10. Rahul Dravid: 713.58
11. Javed Miandad: 745.15
12. Sunil Gavaskar: 736.85
13. Alan Border: 738.30
14. Gary Sobers: 779.67
I don't how you do it, but this is how I would measure, as much objectively as possible, the greatness of different batsmen.
I will add more to the list. Or maybe Tintin can join.
