It makes Babe Ruth look like hit couldn't hit a car stuck on tracks with a steam train. The record is 60 years old and just isn't going to be broken.
1 D. G. Bradman 99.94
2 R. G. Pollock 60.97
3 G. A. Headley 60.83
4 H. Sutcliffe 60.73
5 E. Paynter 59.23
6 K. F. Barrington 58.67
7 E. D. Weekes 58.61
8 W. R. Hammond 58.45
9 G. S. Sobers 57.78
10 J. B. Hobbs 56.94
The rest of the top 9 are seperated by 4.. it then jumps 39 to Bradman. Statistically it's the greatest relative achievement in any sport ever.
