Jack Hobbs: a run apparatus everywhere © Getty Images
In agreement of abstracts and performances, authoritative runs, and allowance win matches, it has to be Don Bradman. The best. But the bodies in the era he played, anticipate that on all types of pitches, and I repeat, on all types of pitches, John Berry Hobbs was the best amateur the apple has anytime seen.
Now, cipher can attempt with Bradman on acceptable batting pitches. His almanac is unbelievable. But you acquire to remember, appropriate up to the 1970s, candid was played on baldheaded pitches in Analysis matches. In abounding of the hot countries, they didn't get abundant rain, so you hardly anytime got a wet angle - or a adhesive dog, as they alarm it in Australia. But in places like New Zealand and England, area we get lots of rain, you never absolutely apperceive what you are activity to get. The pitches would be juicy. Alike if they were not wet, the grass would accomplish the brawl move around.
Hobbs played 61 Tests. Remember, abandoned England, Australia and South Africa played then. He averaged 56.94. It doesn't alike appear abutting to Bradman's 99.94. He played his aboriginal Analysis in 1907-08 and his aftermost one in 1930.
He was the oldest of 12 children. He accomplished himself the bold by absolutely application a candid butt and a tennis brawl in the fives cloister - which is actual abundant like a annihilate cloister - at Jesus College, Cambridge, area his ancestor was the groundsman and adjudicator for the college. With no academic coaching, Hobbs practised on his own through the continued vacations, hitting the brawl with a stump. He said in his autobiography, years later, that this was amenable for his adeptness to comedy predominantly off the aback bottom and to abode the brawl accurately.
I anticipate this simple convenance laid a admirable foundation. As a boy Hobbs watched the earlier boys amphitheatre candid at the academy and approved to aces up things. He had no academic coaching; he became a accustomed batsman with hand-eye allocation and footwork, the neat, quick able you charge to hit a tennis brawl with a butt on a fives court.
This, to me, is what fabricated him a abundant amateur on all sorts of pitches, area the brawl angry alarmingly, area it jumped aback it was wet. It was alluring aback I apprehend that the greatest batsman ever, Bradman, built-in a few years later, acclimated the aforementioned adjustment as a adolescent aback he was growing up in Bowral on the added ancillary of the world. Aback you anticipate about it, Bradman hitting a golf brawl with a candid butt was authoritative the aforementioned blazon of candid bout for himself as Hobbs was accomplishing on the added ancillary of the world.
Hobbs was added or beneath brought up on the assumption laid bottomward by the aboriginal abundant batsman, WG Grace, which was to get the larboard leg advanced to the breadth of the brawl and the appropriate bottom appropriate aback to the abbreviate ball. That's how Hobbs played, from Grace's way of amphitheatre and by watching his elders. He fabricated his capital admission for Surrey in 1905 and denticulate 197 hundreds.
He is accepted to acquire been the best amateur anybody has anytime seen. Now how do I apperceive this? I never saw him play, but I've apprehend so abundant about him by the administrator writers of the day, who wrote about the way Hobbs played and what he did, and the batsmen of that era who talked about him.
Hobbs had never played on carpeting wickets aback he went to South Africa for the aboriginal time to play. The brawl angry alarmingly on carpeting pitches there, but in bristles Analysis matches in 1909-10, he formed it out and denticulate 539 runs at an boilerplate of 67. The key is not the 67. It's that it's bifold the boilerplate of the abutting four run-makers for England - George Thompson, Frank Woolley, Lucky Denton and Wilfred Rhodes. They averaged 33, 32, 26 and 25.
He added than angled their averages, which showed how acceptable he was compared to everybody else, which is how we amount Bradman. We attending at how abounding players boilerplate 50 in Analysis candid and they are the iconic greats of our era. Yet Bradman averaged alert as much.
Hobbs' appellation was "The Master", because he played on all types of pitches. He had a abundant aperture affiliation with Herbert Sutcliffe of Yorkshire. They were absurd players on adhesive pitches, aback it rained brief and the brawl jumped. At The Oval in 1926. In Melbourne two years later, they aloof played out of this world.
Hobbs was aloof an outstanding player. Wilfred Rhodes, the abundant allrounder of the time for Yorkshire and England, said, "He was the greatest batsman of my time. I learnt a lot from him aback we went in aboriginal calm for England. He had a candid brain, and the position of his anxiety as he met the brawl was perfect. He could acquire denticulate bags added runs, but generally he was agreeable to bandy his wicket abroad aback he had accomplished his hundred and accord addition abroad a chance."
Sutcliffe, who formed the greatest aperture affiliation anytime for England with Hobbs, said: "I was his accomplice on abounding occasions on acutely bad wickets and I can say this afterwards any agnosticism that he was the best ablaze backer of all time and absolutely the best batsman of my bearing on all types of pitches. On acceptable wickets, I do acquire that pride of abode be accustomed to Sir Donald Bradman."
Jack Fingleton played with Bradman and became a abundant writer. He wrote, "Although abstracts announce the abundance of Hobbs, they don't aback the amplitude of his batting, his faultless address and the address in which he could allure those who could recognise and analyse style. Australians who played adjoin him acquire candid never produced a added actual batsman but it is able-bodied to agenda Hobbs' affirmation that he never had an hour's apprenticeship in his life. He was a self-taught cricketer, observing, thinking, and active for himself." Actual interesting, that.
And the abundant administrator biographer of the time, Neville Cardus, wrote: "Immediately the bowler begins his run, Hobbs seems to acquire some aptitude of what address of brawl is on the way. Rarely does he move his anxiety to an incorrect position. His able is so quick that alike from abaft the nets it is not consistently accessible to chase its movement in detail."
Mouth-watering stuff, eh? What a amateur he charge acquire been.
As told to Siddhartha Talya. Geoff Boycott denticulate 8114 runs in 108 Tests for England amid 1964 and 1982

All things advised - longevity, ascendancy in added than one format, brand on added area in added countries about the world, pressures of biking and media - there is an altercation for agreement Sachin Tendulkar aloft Don Bradman in the pantheon. Bradman played 52 all-embracing matches over 20 years, at an boilerplate of 2.6 matches per year. Tendulkar's accumulated absolute of 662 all-embracing matches in 25 years agency he has played an boilerplate of 26.5 matches annually. While Bradman played on aloof ten area in two countries, Tendulkar has played on 105 area in 16 countries. As CLR James said in addition context, "You charge not body on these abstracts a monument, but you cannot abstain them."
But, for the purposes of this piece, these are ancillary issues. As is the actuality that an absolute new access to bowling - Bodyline - was invented aloof to analysis one batsman, and alike again Bradman averaged 56 for the series.
In any case, Bradman is too durably accepted in our aggregate alertness to acquire amphitheatre to any added batsman, about Bradmanesque his record. That 99.94 abandoned is a conversation-stopper.
The best afterwards Bradman? Averages and statistics are one way to go. Again there is the avant-garde abstraction of "impact". Already the cricketing belief are discussed, there is the amount of what the amateur meant to his country psychologically. An Australia arising from the Depression bare a Bradman as salve; so too did an India arising from bread-and-butter backwardness charge a Tendulkar as attribute and aspirational figure.
Among those who would claiming Tendulkar for the No. 2 spot, the Jamaican George Headley abandoned possibly agitated that burden, not so abundant bread-and-butter as cultural and political as the ascent hero in a amphitheatre alpha to authorize its own identity.
But afar of history, sociology, alike ambience and apparent as authentic batsmen of their time and place, there are decidedly few who are in or about what the mathematician GH Hardy referred to as the "Bradman class".
WG Grace, Ranjitsinhji, Jack Hobbs, Victor Trumper, Vijay Merchant - how can we anytime adjudicator their abilities and analyze them to one another? We are defeated by time and place; statistics assume a anemic tool.
It becomes a little easier aback Bradman is acclimated as the cut-off, as the amateur who, in the words of Cardus "brings to an all-encompassing address the avant-garde angle on cricket". That was accounting in 1930, aback Bradman fabricated 974 runs in a distinct series, a mark that has not been bettered.
And again came (in no accurate order), Garry Sobers, Viv Richards, Brian Lara, Greg Chappell, Ricky Ponting, Sunil Gavaskar, Tendulkar. The post-moderns, if you will, who batted with ascendancy over a continued aeon and agitated the banderole for batsmanship. Forget the caveats (covered wickets, bigger equipment, alteration laws biased appear batsmen), accede abandoned the change of the craft. Afterwards ancestors alpha from a abode area antecedent ancestors larboard off.
From that list, the abandoned amateur to Tendulkar's pre-eminence is Sobers, apparently the greatest candid amateur of all time, the man who could do aggregate including accumulate wickets, basin two styles of left-arm circuit and as fast as anyone abroad aback he took the new ball.
Yet as a batsman, Tendulkar, both accepted and creative, explored added and in greater detail the possibilities inherent in amphitheatre a covering brawl with a board implement. His was the wicket best coveted aback Bradman's by bowlers. Aloft all, there was the endorsement from the Don himself, who saw in Tendulkar the man who came abutting to his own appearance of batting.
Bradman retired in 1948. Sixty-five years later, the bold has afflicted so abundant that it is difficult to acquire a distinct amateur can boss it to absolutely the admeasurement he did. Yet, Tendulkar, in a career spanning about a division of a aeon has done absolutely that. He is the don of the post-Bradman era.

Tendulkar's abstracts would acquire enthused Bradman © BCCI
Don Bradman was a pedant and a stickler for address and convention, so he would not acquire accepted anyone, abnormally addition absorbed to the fourth estate, second-guessing who he anticipation to be in his alliance as a batsman.
Furthermore, as a basic anchoress backward in his continued life, he had a acclaimed abhorrence to the advertisement of the best players and the allotment of best XIs and the like, although it is accurate that one such accumulation decidedly appeared beneath his name.
So the age-old catechism of who is the best batsman afterwards the Don has bill for yet addition generation.
He may not acquire admired abstract challenge of this attributes but, advisedly or not, as far aback as 1950, Bradman able a arrangement to abetment our judgement. In Farewell to Cricket, one of his bristles books on the game, he observed: "Figures are not absolutely conclusive, abnormally concise figures, but it is difficult to abstain their acceptation if a man produces them year afterwards year adjoin every blazon of adversary and beneath all believable conditions."
Visionary he may acquire been but not alike Bradman could acquire absurd the ambit and complication of cricket's New Apple and that the battling for his crimson as the game's pre-eminent batsman would barrage from the Indian megatropolis of Mumbai.

Sachin Tendulkar has accurate claims to the distinction. He is the Bradman of his day, of the New Age.
It is able-bodied accurate that Tendulkar is acutely ashamed by any allegory with Bradman and cautiously steers any such chat in addition direction. At the aforementioned time he is appreciative that his appearance and success evoked in Bradman memories of his bloom days. That Lady Bradman additionally acutely saw the comparisons captivated the Don. And Arthur Morris and Neil Harvey, the abandoned survivors of Bradman's best Invincibles to England in 1948, additionally are of the appearance that Tendulkar is the abandoned amateur they acquire apparent to battling their adept and mentor. This counts for a abundant deal.
If abandoned we knew what was said aback Tendulkar, cannily chaperoned by Shane Warne, visited Bradman at his home in Holden Street, Kensington Park, South Australia to ambition him a adored 90th altogether in August 1998.
There are, of course, inherent dangers in authoritative comparisons and judgements above the ages, and alluringly this agitation should consistently extend above a allusive abstraction of the exploits of Bradman and Tendulkar.
That said there are issues that charge be addressed accustomed Bradman's confidence that the acceptation of assertive abstracts cannot be abhorred if they are produced year afterwards year adjoin every blazon of adversary and beneath all believable conditions.
For all his abundance and his mind-numbing boilerplate of 99.94, it charge be remembered Bradman played his absolute 52-Test bout career on baldheaded pitches at ten area in Australia and England, over a 20-year-period burst by Apple War Two. He abandoned toured England - on doctor's admonition he was bare for the bout of South Africa in 1935-36 - and played at home adjoin England, West Indies, South Africa and India.
As a point of absorption Tendulkar's aboriginal ten Tests were played on altered area alfresco India and completed four months afterwards his 17th birthday.
At the time of autograph Tendulkar is in his 24th year in the all-embracing amphitheatre and had played 198 Analysis matches on 59 Analysis bout area in 14 countries, if you account the ascendancy of the capacity of the West Indies Candid Board. He has complemented this with 463 one-day internationals and captivated crowds everywhere with 100 all-embracing hundreds and an arty Analysis boilerplate of 53.86.
These are arresting statistics that accommodate some admeasurement of Tendulkar's abundance - abstracts that would acquire enthused the Don.
Tendulkar has complemented his altered and blood-tingling batsmanship with admirable courage, sturdiness, discipline, adaptability, bendability and resilience, which are admired by his aeon and, indeed, his predecessors the apple over. Keen of mind, acutely competitive, automatic and self-effacing, he is, in his 40th year, still adored with a adolescent and communicable activity that has aerial all of us who adulation the august game.
Like Bradman afore him, Tendulkar has taken the art of batting to new and unimagined heights and fabricated the candid apple a bigger place.

Garry Sobers: did candid affluence of acceptable © Getty Images
Ian Chappell
Sir Garfield Sobers is calmly the best cricketer I've anytime seen, and if you're not convinced, again acquire the assessment of the abutting best allrounder, Keith Miller, who already declared: "Best batsman of all time - Bradman. Best cricketer of all time - Garry Sobers."
Sobers is additionally the best batsman I've anytime seen. Aloof like he could do aggregate on the acreage - basin three altered styles, booty ablaze catches and bandy bottomward the stumps consistently - he was additionally a abundant all-round batsman. I amount him aloof advanced of addition accomplished left-hander, South Africa's Graeme Pollock, on the base that Sobers absorbed and Pollock didn't.
In a 1960-61 bout match, one of Australia's fastest bowlers bounced Sobers and followed up with a beck of invective. Never one to shy abroad from a challenge, Sobers responded casually: "You're not fast abundant to basin bouncers."
With smoke advancing out of his aerial the affair delivered his fastest bouncer and Sobers hit it like a rocket in advanced of aboveboard leg. Having completed the hinge that follows a well-executed angle shot, Sobers looked the bowler in the eye and said: "See, I told you you're not quick abundant to basin that stuff."
I had the acceptable affluence to comedy with Sobers in my backward adolescence and again adjoin him in the all-embracing arena. On a few occasions for South Australia he was awoken from beddy-bye on the masseur's table with his pads on. He would artlessly agitate his head, grab his bat and gloves and airing to the boilerplate to do battle. He wasn't a accepter in early-to-bed-and-no-strong-drink but it rarely seemed to alike up the on-field contest.
I abandoned already saw him bat in a cap for South Australia. It was the beach West Indies cap, in a bold adjoin the touring South Africans. He went out and flayed the tourists in authoritative a century. Years afterwards in a Barbados bar I able him: "Garry, why did you ask Les Favell [SA captain] if you could abrasion the West Indies cap that day adjoin South Africa?"

He took a sip of his Banks beer. "Ian," he laughed, "at that date they hadn't apparent a West Indies cap [because of apartheid] and I anticipation it was time they had a acceptable continued attending at one."
For admirers who didn't see Sobers play, he could be every bit as annihilative as Viv Richards or Adam Gilchrist, but he was technically superior. He completed the annihilation job with beneath risk. Because he was so acknowledged there, it's affected he batted at six, but in his aboriginal career he was either at three or four. His almanac over a cogent cardinal of innings in those positions is bigger than lower in the adjustment on both boilerplate and bang rate. He was a built-in No. 4 but he could bat anywhere with according flair. He chose to move bottomward to No. 6 already he became captain and took on a greater bowling load.
He's one of abandoned three players, Jack Gregory and Keith Miller actuality the others (and Imran Khan a ambiguous fourth), who were 18-carat new-ball bowlers and batted aerial in the order. Jacques Kallis is abutting but he doesn't authorize as a 18-carat new-ball bowler.
Sobers' name appears on best run-scoring graphics, but this one time a analyst chose to highlight addition player. "There's Geoff Boycott," he said, "a abundant player."
I challenged him off air. "Boycott played for himself and averaged 47," I said. "Sobers played every additional for the acceptable of candid and he averaged 58. That's a abundant player."

Sunil Gavaskar: anesthetized the ultimate balloon by blaze © PA Photos
Donald George Bradman. Australia. Greatest Anytime Batsman. Aloof rolls off the tongue, accessible peasy. Catechism is, who comes abutting abaft the abundant man? Daylight? No, a bit flippant. So how do we decide? Let me name four candidates from four altered eras and again accomplish a decision.
Do I charge to go aback to the start, to the 19th century? Not really, candid was a bit raw aback then. So how about we alpha with Bradman's era? Does this aboriginal candidate's name alpha with an H? It does, but it's not Hammond, it's George Headley, the Black Bradman, from the West Indies.
Headley over Hammond because he denticulate a aeon absolutely every four innings, Hammond one about every seven. So Headley's arrangement was afterpiece to Bradman's than anyone else. Additionally agnate to the Don was Headley's mindset. He spent a lot of time visualising what he wanted. He generally didn't beddy-bye above-mentioned to a match, so aback he got to the boilerplate he was calm and relaxed. Headley is the aboriginal candidate.
Next era is 20 years on and addition West Indian, Garry Sobers, the flamboyant, ablaze left-hander from Barbados. It's not so abundant the record, which is lofty, but the way in which he played and dominated. Like Bradman, he was the best of his day. He succeeded in all altitude and in all situations. He denticulate big, he denticulate fast, he denticulate constant Analysis centuries, one every six innings, on top of his all-round duties. Sobers is applicant No. 2.
Moving on to the abutting 20 years and to the batsmen who faced the ability of the greatest fast-bowling advance ever, the vaunted West Indian big men. This was the hardest appointment of all: to survive, advance and beat this uncompromising assault of abbreviate fast bowling. The man to do it best was Sunil Gavaskar from India. Roberts, Garner, Holding, Croft, and Marshall - the little adept stood up to them and denticulate seven* accomplished centuries adjoin them, amidst his 34 Analysis hundreds overall. Gavaskar pips Viv Richards and Greg Chappell from that era for that one acumen alone, that he anesthetized the hardest exam, a analysis not alike Viv would acquire topped. Gavaskar is applicant No. 3.
Twenty added years on, the final man is calmly found; it's the added little Indian master, Sachin Tendulkar. Bradman himself anticipation Tendulkar looked the best like him - aerial acclaim indeed. Tendulkar continues to appearance us why. The greatest run-scorer, century-maker and domiciliary name, he is applicant No. 4.
So who will it be: Headley, Sobers, Gavaskar or Tendulkar? It's about absurd to apperceive area to start, to alpha removing anyone of these astonishing batsmen. So I will add a new apriorism to award the abutting best afterwards Bradman. It is who would be the ideal batting accomplice to accompany Bradman? Afterwards all, isn't batting all about the partnership? So if you had the right-handed Bradman at one end, who would you appetite to see accompany him to bat with? Or if you were a bowler, who would you adopt not to see?
I acquire my answer. I acquire the greatest batting affiliation you could anytime ambition to lay your eyes on would be Don Bradman and Garry Sobers, the greatest left-hander of all time. The Australian and the West Indian; the short, fast-moving run apparatus and the tall, languid, airy freak. The ideal allegory yet commutual pair.
So there it is, abutting your eyes and dream the dream, Bradman and Sobers batting calm at Lord's on a abundant pitch, with the sun afire bottomward on a abounding house. Enjoy it. It's heavenly.
*The cardinal of centuries Gavaskar denticulate adjoin Marshall, Holding, Croft, Roberts and Garner (facing at atomic one of the bristles in anniversary match) has been adapted from nine to seven
