as much as i think warne is a great player, the don went thru the worse bowling around especially with bodyline on going. mind you, there is no different as back then they dont play as long, plus the don had to miss serveral yrs because of war, who knows how many more centuries he would of got if the war did not interfer

No comparison - one the best batsman there ever was, ever is, ever will be......one the best bowler ever......as much as I like Warnie its like comparing Reg Gasnier with Shane Webke, both great players....but entirely different...but if I have to vote...the don....best there is, best there was, best there ever will be.......
Can't compare [it's like apples and oranges].
No doubt Australia can lay claim to the best players ever on the world stage.
Both these players had the capacity to be a catalyst to turning a game around.
I would vote for them both, although off the field the Don would win any day.

Two vastly different characters, both outstanding at their craft.
Bradman batting on uncovered pitches against great bowling from the past and knocking out a 99.94 average in Test cricket is still the best IMO, with a break in between for WW2.
Warne on 694 Test wickets, reviving the dying art of legspin bowling, and his sheer presence is right up there.
Two completely different eras - How awesome would it have been to see the two in the same team at the same time!

Warnie is without question the best legspinner of all time and in the top 5 of cricketers of all time. His bowling avg is though 25. Mcgrath, Lillee, Hadlee all have better although Warne has more wickets. Bradman averaged 99.94 with the bat - No one comes close to that, only 4 other players have averaged 60+ and that includes Ponting. Warne is the player of his generation, Bradman is the player of all generations.
