When Bolt gives Mo Farah a race I might rate him as high.

100m or 200m?

Good point, although I'm not the one saying that Bolt is the greatest athlete ever am I?
If Bolt ever wins a gold medal in the 5000 metres I'll rate him as good as David Weir. Same for Mo Farah if he ever wins a sprint.

Bradman isn't even the best cricketer. That accolade surely goes to the great Garry Sobers -brilliant batsman, fast/swing/wrist spin bowler, brilliant fielder who was happy to take the gloves in the event of injury.

What a player!

Best all-round cricketer, for sure, but for sheer statistics Bradman is the greatest player of a ball game in history.

Statistically Ivanhoe, Geoff Thomas, David Bardsley and other assorted shithouses have played more games at a higher level than Sir Brian.  Lies, damned lies and all that.

Those are stats based on opinion (of England managers). I think it's fairly unlikely that Sir Brian wouldn't have been picked for England more often if he'd scored at double the rate of every other striker who'd ever played football.
