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

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.

Looks damn impressive when showed like that
By that standard Wayne Gretzky's all-time points record of 2857 should be at least comparable. The all-time leaders:
2857-Wayne Gretzky
1887-Mark Messier
1850-Gordie Howe
1798-Ron Francis
1771-Marcel Dionne
If you do the math, someone would have to average 150 points a year for over 19 years. Very few NHL players ever play that long - and 150 points even once is very hard to do. (I don't think it's been done this decade?)
That record is safe for a long time.
