2. Sir Don Bradman, Australia
Tests: 52, average 99.94.
An utterly devastating batsman who will forever be a cricketing legend for an average just shy of 100, which is unlikely to ever be beaten.
Bradman also captained Australia and scored a hugely impressive 29 centuries in just 80 innings for the nation.
1. Sachin Tendulkar, India
Tests: 199, average 53.71.
ODIs: 463, average 44.83.
A true genius with the bat who at just 5’5″ was not a dominating presence until the ball came down the wicket at the man known as the ‘Little Master.’
Bowed out of the game after playing 200 Test matches, nobody has scored more five-day runs or scored more centuries than Tendulkar in an international career spanning almost 25 years.
