At their respective points of their careers, Vitori has a Test batting average a full 26% higher than Bradman's! It should also be noted that Bradman took 2 wickets in 52 Test matches... Vitori already has 5 in just 1 Test match!
Also, it has become evident that when Stuart MacGill refused to tour Zimbabwe in 2004 it was actually because he was fearful of having to face a then 14 year old Brian Vitori!
In all seriousness, he has had a wonderful introduction to international cricket. In 2 matches he's had 10 wickets, 1 batting cameo, 1 man of the match award and most importantly 2 victories... he's been a joy to watch. Here's hoping that his wonderful form continues for many, many years to come!

Vitori also has three syllables in his last name while Bradman only has two.

At no stage of his career did Don Bradman get 2 ODI wickets in consecutive balls.
Yet another area where Vitori is better than Bradman.

Cephas Zhuwao is better than all of them.

Stuart Matsikenyeri taught Bradman everything he ever knew about batting, not sure what he may have taught Brian Vitori but what the hell ..........

24 more runs in T20Is than W.G. Grace, Bradman, Sobers, Viv Richards, Victor Trumper and Len Hutton together.

Ha ha! Reminded me of Andy Pycroft (I think it was) on commentary long back in an ODI against India in India, when the visuals showed Mrs. Tendulkar and their daughter in the stands, he introduced the little kid as "Sara, just 8460 (or something like that) runs behind her daddy"
