I was reading a book recently where the concept of the milliBradman was mentioned.
Every great achievement can be measured in milliBradmans as a way of comparing them to the great man. Obviously Bradman's achievements give him the score of 1000 and any score greater than that means an achievement greater than bradman...I am sure you get the picture...
So where do other Australian achievements rank, what is their milliBradman score? I'll start but feel free to add your own...
Adam Gilchrist 400 mB- changed the way we expect a #7 to play in a test, brought some extra excitement to the game, true champion.
Shane Warne- 900 mB- a legend, the greatest bowler ever, a pity his career had a few to many distractions, hopefully they will be ignored by history. Brought a lost art back to the game and helped Australia dominate the world.
Chris Judd- 150 mB Brownlow, Norm Smith, AA, Premiership captain, career is not over so there is still room to move here
John Howard- 50 mB a long career as PM and as a pollie but what do we have to show for it? And we've all seen him try to bowl...if he does something special in retirement, the score may improve but I doubt it.
Robert Walls- -50 mB...yes, that is a minus, this guy is such a knob, he owes us 50mB just to get back to a score of 0. Got some work to do there. He could achieve it by getting out of the media for the rest of his life.
