I think the idea of trying to get a singular is dumb. Each sport requires a whole different skill set and a whole different form of physical fitness, which means you can't realistically measure them agaisnt anyone outside thier own sport

Albel/Justin

Albel doesn't say anything anymore, just comes in, leaves an arrow and vanishes into the night :(Probably

You nearly had me fooled, you fooler you

Euphonium/10.

Don Bradman.

I took a paper 'Sports History' as an elective. There have been quite a few studies and Don Bradmans test Cricket average off 99.5 or whatever consistently ranks as the greatest sporting achievement of all time. I know its a hard thing to quantify and argue, but its also hard to argue with the experts.

 

Its currently a golden age of sporting icons Woods, Phelps, Bolt, Federer. We're pretty lucky

Yeah, it's pretty sick to think Bradman was so far ahead of anyone before him, and is still undoubtably the best there has ever been. To think that a test average of 50+ is seen as "Gold Plated", and then see that Bradman Averaged nearly twice that is amazing.

Aus + NZ need to start watching more sports than just cricket. -.-

 

Anyone a fan of rugby...?

More of a league fan myself. But I can't think of anybody that really seems like they should be here from either... But I definately don't know my rugby history as well as I know crickets :P

Exactly my opinion.

 

The sport I am most involved in, hockey, means that Gretzky is a god.

I much prefer rugby (and league) but I was just putting in my 2 cents on Bradman and the academic opinion. I actually find it hard to see professional cricketers as pro athletes, look at murali and warne they were/are greats but they are also overweight old men and still the best.
