I am an indian and I agree that some of my retarded countrymen make us(indians) look stupids worldwide by making such stupid comments.....my question to them " Do you have any idea about the fast bowlers in 1920s-30s ? Can you name atleast 5 of them ? .....how can you say Bradman averaged 99.94 in a weeker bowling era ? ..... Don Bradman is without a doubt the best batsman ever and accepting this fact won't make us (indians) down in anybody's eyes..a true talent should always be appreciated.
Sachin has played in a modern ultra competitive era against various professional teams. His opposition have been extremely fit, motivated professional cricketers .The volume of cricket and the longetivity of Sachin in the game is unsurpassed.
Bradman played cricket when the game was a pasttime. Europe was recovering from the depression & in the grip of poverty & cricketers had food rations allocated to them. The pom players were full time factory workers on a restricted diet. No comparison
WTF is with you Indian fans, you are clearly the most deluded sporting fans on the planet. It's arguable whether Sachin is better than other greats like Sobers, Richards, Lara etc. Lara's exploits with the willow are extraordinary, Sobers and Richards averaged 60 for most of their careers before their inevitable twilight slump. Those two would have averaged 60 today, easily.
To say Tendulkar is the GOAT is the height of ignorance and is sadly reflective of the intellect of the average Indian.
sachin is a overated flat track bully. only 19 out of his 51 centuries india won. mostly drawn matches. Lara is thousand times better than him. my rank during last 20 years lara, ponting, kallis, hayden, sachin, inzi, dravid, steve waugh,
@bsv1425..how in the hell did you work that out..unreal stats just bradmans batting..even seriously cricinfo stats filters would fail work that out..how did u know don was vulnerable to such bowling
Agree with Steve...Tandulkar is an exceptional and Indians should feel proud they have him...we the Pakistanis would not mind born in Pakistan :) I like the way he present himself, so down to earth and carrying thoughts....I wouldnt definetly want to bowl hum or NOT :)
yes, sachin is the greatest of his time no doubt, but how the hell can you say sachin is better than bradman? don averages a double hundred every 1 in 3 tests which is insane. if sachin played against average bowlers, yeah sure he might have been even better, but averaging 100 is something sachin could never come close to, even if he was playing first class cricket, he wouldn't be averaging 100 i can tell you right now. go on statsguru you'll see his average throughout his whole career.
Bradman scored a total of 7000 runs of which 5000 plus were against one country. He played only against four countries in an era where not many matches were played in a year. He did not face too many world class bowlers, with the fastest being Larwood who bowled supposedly at 95 mph Sachin has more than 30,000 Runs. He is playing in an era where every ball is analyzed and taken note of. Yet 12 nations have not found the way to stop this man.51 Test hundreds, 48 ODI hundreds,stands out for Sachin
@KUSHAJ9 you've defeated your own argument there. Bradman didn't play against the likes of Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, the newly hapless Windies, Sri Lanka etc. Jason Gillespie's 200 is an advertisement against letting in minnows to test cricket. Bradman played against top sides, over and over again. There's no doubting Sachin is the greatest today but of all time, it's definitely Bradman.
@KUSHAJ9 Sachin never played on uncovered pitches, against bodyline, the absence of easy beat teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, he doesn't travel on a ship for a few weeks to get to Australia, he sucked ass as a captain, couldn't handle the pressure, where as Bradman is one of the best captains of all time, didn't have a five year hiatus because of a war and still come back and play that well.
@KUSHAJ9 Bradmans strike rate was more than 60 which is high even in this era.He is also said to be a good feilder.There is no reason to believe that he wouldnt have been good in shorter games.And todays technology ,flat tracks would have helped him a lot in scoring quick.And there is no reason to belive that he wouldnt score runs against todays great bowlers
If Sachin is god then he might have score six in every ball. He might have playied not out in every innings. India have jst won 30% of test and 46%of ODI in his presence........Hats off Don He was in list of top 10 sport person of 19th century. Sachine will be more famous if he got chance to wash Don's Toilet........And dont forget cricket is popular coz of Don. It was close to extension in early 19th centuary.
fuck u all......... sachin is the gr8est ever now... and will be.
sir don bradman played at the time wen der was eight bowls in an over, also der was no proper record keeping system. don bradman was gr8 but sachin is the god of cricket.
@007dalal Never got astonished when hearing some former aussie players say that don bradman is better than Sachin... According to legendry Shane warne, Sachin is the topper of his list of 50 greatest cricketer's.
Dont compare 19th century with 21st....... There are differences like hell and heaven.
gr8est bowlers of cricketing world came during sachins period not during bradmans. just take that into consideration as well.
@Coolpg91 Well dont say that legendary cricketers are biased .Then same can be said about Sunil Gavasakar and any great cricketer.Also Steve waugh said murali is better than Warne.Would u call it bias.Australia has perhaps produced greatest cricketers.And 50 is a common batting average in sachins era.In Bradman era it was in 40s
@007dalal am sorry but you are again saying old stories....... I respect Sir Don bradman as he was a gr8 cricketer. But this is not his era... He used to play during 1927 to 49, more in first class cricket. On how many different pitches did Bradman played??? How many of his inning do u hv seen??? Still i agree he was gr8 in his time, he was a semi professional cricketer.On the other hand comparing with sachin, he has played on 90 different pitches which brodman can not even imagine.
@Coolpg91 If Bradman was born is todays era he definately would have succeded with modern technology.Better coaching etc.And Sachin had about 6 coaches at his debut.But Bradman had none.If u r putting Bradman in todays prespective .put Sachin in that era.Born in a small village,no coaches,no modern gym facilities,started playing in great depression era,carreer inturrepted by second world war, very less income from cricket.I doubt even if he had taken cricket in that era
@Coolpg91 If Bradman was born is todays era he definately would have succeded with modern technology.Better coaching etc.And Sachin had about 6 coaches at his debut.But Bradman had none.If u r putting Bradman in todays prespective .put Sachin in that era.Born in a small village,no coaches,no modern gym facilities,started playing in great depression era,carreer inturrepted by second world war, very less income from cricket.I doubt even if he had taken cricket in that era
@007dalal Don't go checking player background, Thats why i said don bradman played when cricket is not same as what we have in now.... Cricket developed a lot after bradman's period. Having coaches doesnt make any player to be gr8 if so everyone having rich parents would have been gr8est players. So obviously you have to choose the present not past. Will you go by a cycle if you have a hayabusa beside you to take. Well i guess in ur case u will. Bradman time is up, Now its SACHIN.
@Coolpg91 u mean 2 say that coaching doesnt make any difference to player.And even Sachin was amaxed when he came to know that Bradman never had a coach.And even Sachin has admitted that batting was difficult in that era.And most players are from well to do family .Rarely a player from poor background becomes greatt
@007dalal I dont think that i said coaching doesnt make any change to a player..... Coaching is what which helps to sharpen the skills of a player, but for that also u should have talent. Bradman had that talent sachin is also having the same and all this years of experience made him where he is now. Now Sachin must had to play shots whatever sir bradman had played, that is where coaching helps. But bradman would hv never played todays modern shots what sachin has played.......
@007dalal just go and watch how they used to bowl to bradman if u get some videos, just like we use to through ball to an 8 yr old boy. That was not professional cricket my friend. And i gues you will never understand simple facts. For you may be he is the gr8est cricketer so keep it for urself. That old age style of playing is the same as amateur cricketer small kids play in our fields. I am ending my debate For me and those who knows cricket SACHIN will be the gre8est.
@Coolpg91 If the bowlers bowled like 8 year old boys all the time, where are all the other batsman with averages close to 100, why do you have to be such a moron
@007dalal just go and watch how they used to bowl to bradman if u get some videos, just like we use to through ball to an 8 yr old boy. That was not professional cricket my friend.

@007dalal ........ Moreover bradman played with mostly England , then India, South africa and west indies. Now Sachin has played with almost all the international teams which have atleast qualified for world cups... Bradman though having an average of 99 int test cricket was criticized as not a consistent player. Other hand Sachin only failed few times in keeping consistency, But still at this age also he is a consistent player than bradman for sure.
@Coolpg91 Bradman was never criticised not being a consistent player.He have been the most consistent player ever.His innings to century ratio 2.75 is best.It explains his consistency
Sachin had played top class bowlers of modern era...... Now i dont think there is any debate on topic of Bowlers.
Becoz I will not agree if u will say that there were bowlers better than whom ever u urself mentioned like, Murali, shane warne, Wasim Akram, Pollock, Bret lee.
@Coolpg91 Sydney Barnes, played in the early 1900s, statically one of if not the best pace bowler of all time, 189 wickets at an astonishing bowling average of 16.
If you are the opposition who would you rather see walking out to bat- a guy averaging 56 or a guy averaging 99? Pretty obvious answer. Doesn't matter how long the 57 batsman has been playing, 57 is 57. 57 aint 99. It will never be. 57 is Sobers, Kallis, Sachin. 99 is ONE MAN. BRADMAN.
@robelinda2 its not necessary that stats will always tell u the right story and shows u the real picture.If u look at the averages of batsman and break it down then u will notice that almost all batsman hv liking for particular bowling attack and they average pretty high against that particular opposition,bradman was lucky to hv that knack against englishmen and other remaining opposition were minnows and yes bradman was far superior batsman as compared to his contemporaries at that time.
Tendulkar & lara r much better than don bradman. Don played against club level bowlers & street level unfit fielders. He could only be compared with the likes of M S Dhoni. But he managed an avg. of 99.94 & more importantly he had a white skin so he is called the best batsman. White's propaganda.
Bradman played in a semiprofessional era. It is as ridiculous as saying Rod Laver is better than Federer. Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time (as he has won the most slams), just as Tendulkar is the greatest player of all time as he scored the most runs. I'd like to see how Bradman would face the likes of Murali who can turn the ball square, or a Wasim Akram who can reverse swing the ball at 90mph.
@molecularmadness Bradman wasnt born in modern era .He wasnt born in a big city.He didnt had any coaches.He had no technology.to help him .Thats why i think he would have fared equally and infact better.Modern coaching and technology he would have handled any bowler of this era
i keep on reading that the quality of bowling was bad back when bradman played when cricket started as mainly a bowling game bradman averages 99 the next is pollock at 60 if the bowling was bad then another person would have averaged somewhere near bradman but no one does i rate tendulkar at about the same as kallis both greats but not as great as bradman
@benjpaine300 how many professional cricketers were playing in bradman era,probably 30 or maybe 40,i am counting only english and aussie cricketers as they were only serious team at that time,i am not counting minnows as u cant expect great players from minnows.many batsman played post bradman era but they were nt able to produce that bradman magical average as they played against better and varied bowling attacks.Bradman averaged 99 against minnows and one serious team i.e england.
@benjpaine300 please dont compare kallis with sachin as kallis never dominated bowling attacks as sachin did in his lifetime and besides that look at the dismal record of kallis against the likes of Australia,when they hd great bowlers like mcgarth , warne,lee and gillispie at their peak,that's why cricketers around the world never put kallis and sachin in same bracket despite kallis's impressive average.Kallis could only dream of the way sachin demolished bowling attacks in his lifetime.
@benjpaine300 Look at the number of centuries sachin has 100 the nearest to him is 70 from ponting...so yes sachin is near to don... The average is low because he has been playing for so long. If DON was playing so frequently and in so many different condition he would be lower as well
Interesting Facts: Bradman got out LBW only 6 times in his 80 innings(52 matches). Definitely very good batsman to pick up line and length without fail most of the time.
Suprise Fact: Bradman played really good against right hand fast bowler and left hand spinner, but he struggled against left hand fast bowler and right hand spinners. He averages 13 against left hand fast bolwers and 48 against right hand spinner. It is exciting to visually how he would have played against wasim akram or shane warne.
Some interesting facts: Bradman played on 10 different grounds and scored century on all except Old trafford, Manchester. His average is 27 on that ground. On Sachin (sydney) Cricket Ground, he played 8 tests only second to MCG and his average is 58. On 5 out of 10 grounds, his average is above 100. I believe if he would have played on more number of ground it would have been difficult to keep very high batting average.
@bsv1425 I have often seen the "number of different grounds" topic come up when comparing Tendulkar and Bradman. Why is it a factor? If you analyse both Bradman's and Tendulkar's first innings at each ground, they both scored well, but both representative of their Test careers. Tendulkar avg 62.88 vs Bradman 109.67.
Am I missing something? Why does this keep coming up as an excuse for Tendulkar's average being lower than Bradman's.
The data suggests that number of grounds had NO bearing on avg.
@BlueKiaser If we look at cricket history, we will find that first innings at a particular ground is not the right benchmark of how good the cricketer will be at the end of his career. Moreover, when any batsman is exposed to different conditions and to different bowlers, his performance varies and does not remain consistent. Bradmans and Tendulkars are no exception. I don't have 1% doubt that bradman was greatest of his generations, but he won't be same in modern competitive cricket.
@bsv1425 "but he won't be same in modern competitive cricket." ...
Then give a decent reason why!
"I believe if he would have played on more number of ground it would have been difficult"
I just proved that theory wrong with my presented stats showing both Tendulkar and Bradman performed very well on new grounds and performances closely correlated to their Test Career averages. That is, number of grounds played on has NO bearing on Test Career average. Pick Tendulkar's 10 most popular grounds!
sachin sachin sachin sachin sachin , all u guys r absolute nuts, sachin is the don of the dons when it comes to batting, he is the robbinhood pandey of cricket, just like federer is the grandpaa of tennis, both r similar when it comes to class and timing, federer is greater than beyonborg, and sachin is greater than sir don
listen to this, once ponting asked the great don bradman, sir don who according to u is greater, me or sachin, sir don smiles and replies, he u idiot punter, sachin is my grandpaa, where hv u come from
boss i respect sir don bradman, no doubt he is a legend, but sachin, what to say when u utter this name, im sure if sir don wd have been alive today then he himself would have bowed to the little master, i wd say he is at paar with sir don, cummon aussies wakeup, sachin is the granpaa, he is the emperor of cricket
@sainathelectric I'm sure if he were alive today he defintely would not bow to sachin tendulkar. Sachin has a great record. But its about half as good as Bradman's.
I think an aussie will always support an aussie. No doubt bradman was the best batsman of his era and same way, sachin is the best batsman of modern era. Many can come near him in Test, but he is miles ahead in one day. He is Tondulkar not Tendulkar. To compare bradman and Sachin is just never ending discussion. Enjoy the cricket.
some aussies like steve waugh never admit the greatness of sachin. Has he even see don play?Any knowledge of his technique?He is just supporting don cuz he is an aussie. they even tries to noball murali and stop him from getting to warne's world record-aussies always want to be the best. My opinion: It is stupid to use the average that was created 80 years ago,on dead lifeless pitches with low quality bowling and now,80 years later.Wake up,we are in 2011
@mumbaiindianspollock Have a look at Donald's first class career stats as well.... He played nearly 170 matches and still averaged 96.... To talk down the Don's achievements is to talk down Cricket itself. The Don will always be considered the greatest because he was simply in a league of his own. If he was Indian you'd have thought he was a God and built a temple for him with candles and a picture of him batting and people chanting his name day in day out he was that good.
@mumbaiindianspollock Another Bradman Denier. You have too pretend Bradman's statistics are not real, or were against easy opposition, or make other excuses up, because otherwise, Bradman's obviously a greater batsman than Tendulkar. Bradman's era had great bowlers, many of those averaged less than 20runs per wicket in their first class. Batting has never been easier than what it is now in this current era. See how many batsmen avg > 50 right now.
@BlueKiaser you dont understand my point. You just cant use statistics that were 70 years ago and guess the class of bowlers or batsmen.At that time,there was no reverse swing. So if the openers negotiate for the first 10 overs,the batsmen,unless they make a mistake,can play on. The usage of flipper,carrom ball,googly,doosra,other variations,like leg cutter,slower yorkers etc,only started to gain reputation in 1990s. . Now its so common.Bradman was the greatest of his era,but dont say all time
@mumbaiindianspollock Again you have highlighted your ignorance of cricket history. Out of those deliveries listed, the doosra is the only modern delivery. And this is only because it is subject to the no ball ruling and would not have been allowed over 50 years ago. Just because deliveries were given names and talked about in the 90's does not mean they weren't around in the years before ... you IGNORAMUS. A ball still swings and cuts and spins after 10 overs.
@mumbaiindianspollock if you know anything about cricket and life in general you would be comparing Sachin to Lara & Kallis he isnt even at the 'same level as Sobers & Pollock let alone Sir Don Sachin hasn't passed 250 let alone 300 could he score 300 in 1 day how about scoring 452no, his had 732 attemps at it, people have seen Bradman play and the same people have seen Sachin play and they all clearly say Sachin is not as good as Bradman and the bowlers back then were sharpe too.........
@dosh228 thats pure bullshit.. Don bradman himself told his wife that sachin plays the same way that he played after he saw sachin play in 1996 cricket world cup. Sachin was the only modern player to be in bradman's dream 11. Do u know that?So if don himself says sachin is his heir...who the hell are you or the people to say that he is below others?sachin scored 200 in a odi. Noone has done it. And lara and kallis are shit in odis compared to sachin. They just like to occupy the grease.
@mumbaiindianspollock No Bradman said Tendulkar has the most similar technique to himself get it right, Dennis Lillee & Barry Richards are modern seeing cricket's been around for a couple hundred years, who's shit in odi's Kallis 45.45 with 264 wkts at 31.76 Lara 40.48 Bevan 53.58? whats your contribution to the game? Tendulkars 200 is a nice feat to have but he will be joined in time Watson could've scored 300 when he got 185no he had 20 over's left 200's been scored in grade its nothing new..
@mumbaiindianspollock How do you expect us to take you serious when you claim Tendulkar has dominated ODI's compared to Lara and Kallis. Seriously ... this is why I think you are just a delusional Tendulkar fanatic who knows little about cricket history.
If Tendulkar is so dominate in ODI's, why has he been the number 1 ranked ICC ODI batsmen for less than 5% of his 21 year career? I repeat less than 5%.
Do us all a favour and check some of your dumb opinions before publicizing them.
Best batsman - indeed best cricketer - in the world today is AB de Villiers of South Africa. Devastating batsman in all three versions of cricket - Test, ODI and T20. Can score both fast and big and can dominate any bowler on earth! Also a superb wicket-keeper and likely next captain of the South African cricket team. As a fielder, he is arguably the best in the world too!
People say South African Proteas team are chokers. But the ultimate choke was by Donald Bradman. Needed only 6 runs in his final innings to retire with average of 100,00. Should be easy for a guy with his record. What happens? He chokes and is out for a duck! The 99,94 average will forever be a symbolic indication of less-than-perfect! Nonetheless, the greatest batsman of his era and arguably ever. The choke is only conspicuous because it comes across the backdrop of his undoubted greatness!
@wibas2008 you are nuts....bradman only played in england and australia..back then the pitches were dead,and bowling skills were not good.Thats why you dont see a single bowler from the 1930s with more than 200 wickets. He mainly only played against england.So he got used to the conditions and bowlers quickly. With the quality of fielding,bowling,pitches now,there was no way you can use the average that was established 70 years ago.
@wibas2008 it is not like shooting or archery where you can compare greats even after 70 years as the game remains the same. Everything about the game has changed. And even vinod kambli averaged over 100 in the first 10 matches he played with double centuries and centuries. People like him can give you that sort of average. Please dont be a fool and compare using averages. And you are retarded to compare sachin with sehwag or sanga. Sachin's technique is the best in cricket.
@wibas2008 Do you know that don bradman told his wife that sachin tendulkar resembles his way of playing after seeing him play in a world cup?In the wc finals,the asking rate was above 7. He had to try to hit the bowlers and take risks. Which he did-anyone batting like that against the australian team in the wc finals with so much pressure-its tough not 2 get out. In the semis-the pitch was bad,ball was stopping and gripping.
The guy interviewing is a complete idiot and ignorant. How can he compare Sir Don with Sachin. Both are Legends in their own right. Sir Don played when they still used bodyline bowling w/out helmets and uncovered pitches. Sachin is modern day cricketing legend no doubt but you cannot compare them.
Try imagining cricket is Sir Don's era and earn yourself 99.96 avg from all tests you interviewing faggot.
Apart from Muralidharan, Tendulkar has not handled any of the great modern era bowlers very well. Tendulkar is a superb player of spin. Bradman's era had plenty of great bowlers and pressure. Learn your history.
The kind or Cricket being played these days under different conditions against tough apponents under tremendous pressure, especially against fast bowlers like the great west indians attack of the 70s then guys like Waim Akram,Sohaib Akhter Muralidharan etc just to name a few i think Sir Don would have had a hard time.....
Bradman made the best bowlers of his time look ordinary. Many of the England (eg, Bedser, Bowes, Verity) and Australian bowlers of Bradman's era had averages well under 25. Take Bradman out of the picture and their averages would have been much lower again, such was Bradman's domination. Name me just one of the modern era great bowlers (avg <25) that Tendulkar has dominated. None come to my mind. Tendulkar averaged well under 40 when playing against Glenn McGrath.
Tendulkar is probably the best batsman since Bradman. But until somebody scores more than 3000 test runs at an average of over 100, Bradman will remain the greatest of all time
It is just an insult to Don Bradman by the way this journalist is speaking.As an Indian we must love our country but must respect other countries as well .These media persons recentl hailed Sreesanth as great despite knowing that he was insulting kallis who is much bigger in stature than Sree.And said Kallis didnt answered due to fear.This proves how much they maintain their ethics and respects them .Whole Sachin vs Bradman is media created Sachin himself said Bradman was best ever
if u see punter he is considered as one of the best batsmen but look at his avg in india just in 20s... u never know if don would had played in such conditions with so many diffrent countries and in diffrent count. wht his avg would had been.. and if bradman has 99.99 avg thing then sachin has 97 intern. 100s thing and at the end of his carrier it will be definately around 115 , while punter and kallis will end 75 or max 80 which is a big diff from sachin..
both are best of there own era and its unfair with todays greats to be compared with him... those who say he is the best pls tell me against how many strong teams he scored those runs, there was just 1 estableshed team those days england which was already at no. 2 among 2 teams lols... on on the basis of that how can u rate sachin below him thats so funny... he just played in 2 countries australia and england... he never played great spin bowlers never played odis...
@hanros98 He played in an era of flat bowling or bowling without a swing, seam, spin. They used to play a match once in 6 months and cricketers those days used to have something else as their profession or means to earn for their bread and butter. So its no different from club cricket. Actually guy in my avatar played 40 matches and scored 50 centuries at an average of 120runs/innings at club cricket level. So he must be the best ever batsman in cricket history.
@8917221pl You people actually mistaken me. I'm not comparing Bradman with Sachin, I'm comparing Bradman with local club cricketer.
And sorry I changed my avatar, actually I thought of putting a pic of a local cricketer with an average of over 120 but I think I had much better pics.
@8917221pl@8917221pl i agree with you tell that to 666heavymetaladdict, but don't undermine bradman that much he is a legend. however your channel shows how disgusting you are, as a indian you are a shame to our country. india is of all religions and people and we are proud, so am i as a hindu. stay in the U.S we don't need people like you giving us a bad name
Yo I don't need ur point of view You stupid fuck . I hate muslims because of them my family member died on 911. So assholes like you encourage these fucking cowards.
@8917221pl i'm sorry about your family member however the 9/11 terrorist were striking back at the U.S bombing of iraq during the 90s which killed more than 500,000 innocent civilians
@hanros98 happy to see someone talking with some sense. Retards have been trashtalking. Playing only against england-only 4 bowlers to get used to-and only around 30 tests-if you focused,in those conditions,back then,it is possible. Now,i doubt so,even more so,if you play over 100 tests. Even hussey had an average of 75 in tests when he came. Now it is less than 60.
Anyone can score 50 centuries over 22 years.... that's like 2 and 1/2 centuries a year.... pretty pathetic really. 13 best test average in the history of the game for Sachin... Shouldn't even be comparing the two batsmen.... There are better to compare..... Pollock and Bradman....Sutcliffe and Bradman... etc. This is a dead topic. BRADMAN WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER FREAK.... and no one in the game then and now has got remotely near the guy.... even with smaller grounds and better technology.
@prwilkinson thats so retarded.You are only using averages-and averages change according to eras. He only played against england mainly. The quality of bowling fielding etc,was nothing then. So he was good at getting the bowlers . No one has even see don bradman play or his technique. Just looking at his average,u guys are trashtalking.
@mumbaiindianspollock Donald played in the 1930's and 1940's.... Thousands of people saw him play!!!! And still say he is BY FAR AND AWAY the greatest batsmen. You can say that but he always played in conditions that would have far suited the bowler.... uncovered pitches for starters when it rained.... slow outfields etc. The Don was just a FREAK it's as simple as that. What does it say for everyone else that has played the game if you talk down Donald? Give their careers some credit as well!!!!
sachin is the greatest batsman.. if we ask sachin who is the greatest batsmam means, he wil tel bradman only.. because no one wil cal them as the greatest of all time..for me sachin is the greatest of all time..
@cganeshgilli Sachin knows about cricket than u. he can tell how difficult it was to bat in that era .Therefore dont challange a greats wisdom .Sachin needs no certificate of greatness.He dont hav 2 b better than don to be a great
@007dalal what do u expect him to say then?that he is better than don?yo!sachin is always humble. he never brags. Even don told his wife that sachin had an almost exactly same style of play in terms of batting technique when he saw sachin the world cup 1996. What do u say about that?
@mumbaiindianspollock there are many people who has similar technique to great players.Darren Bravo has similar technique to Brain lara .Will u say he is better than Lara. Carl Hooper was similar to Viv richards.Gunawardane and Tharanga to Jayasuriya. there have been many carbon copy of greats.And it doesnt matter how good is copy it is always less than original.
In a given day anyone could be better than bradman or sachin. In a given period of time anyone could be better than bradman or sachin. but not everyone can still have the edge even after scoring 13000. and another 17000 of course. Bradman was greatest of his time. Sachin has been the greatest ever since we get to see him 20 years ago. You cannot compare players from an old era with players from a modern era. That's just impossible. everyone who concludes including me will be wrong in judgement.
@csbarathi No, Sachin is great and all, but Even guys like Ponting are not too fare behind his Record and Kallis could and probably will surpass it. That does not mean they are better Then SRT, but the fact is that Sachin record has more to do with being great and playing a lot of matches. Bradman's record is Super Human no will even get close to breaking it. It is virtually impossible. You know this deep down. With great respect to you my dear friend you know this deep down.
@jay123tysk Well when Vinod Kambli came into test cricket I still remember they said he maybe the one who can come close to Don. But his career ended even before it started. Politics BCCI lack of self discipline whatever it is. it was his cricket that ruined his career. I'm not sure I believe deep down that no one can come close to Don. I do know for sure that no human will get a fair chance :) They will still have to break his record in an era of Doosras googlies and reverse swing
@M4st3rm1nd Sachin is greatest cricket expert of this generation He knows much more about cricket then you and me He never praise anyone just to show his modesty.
@M4st3rm1nd. Stop Lying to yourself my friend. I do not mean to offend you in any way or hurt your feelings, but can you honestly say that Sachin (who is no doubt a legend) is better than a guy who scored 99,94 runs on average every time he went to bat? I know it is hard to accept the truth but be honest with yourself. It does not matter what I think. What matter's is the truth and you do know it deep down. Fuck me and call me names, but just be hounest with yourself. best wishes

I am an indian and I agree that some of my retarded countrymen make us(indians) look stupids worldwide by making such stupid comments.....my question to them " Do you have any idea about the fast bowlers in 1920s-30s ? Can you name atleast 5 of them ? .....how can you say Bradman averaged 99.94 in a weeker bowling era ? ..... Don Bradman is without a doubt the best batsman ever and accepting this fact won't make us (indians) down in anybody's eyes..a true talent should always be appreciated.

Sachin has played in a modern ultra competitive era against various professional teams. His opposition have been extremely fit, motivated professional cricketers .The volume of cricket and the longetivity of Sachin in the game is unsurpassed.
Bradman played cricket when the game was a pasttime. Europe was recovering from the depression & in the grip of poverty & cricketers had food rations allocated to them. The pom players were full time factory workers on a restricted diet. No comparison

WTF is with you Indian fans, you are clearly the most deluded sporting fans on the planet. It's arguable whether Sachin is better than other greats like Sobers, Richards, Lara etc. Lara's exploits with the willow are extraordinary, Sobers and Richards averaged 60 for most of their careers before their inevitable twilight slump. Those two would have averaged 60 today, easily.
To say Tendulkar is the GOAT is the height of ignorance and is sadly reflective of the intellect of the average Indian.

Bradman scored a total of 7000 runs of which 5000 plus were against one country. He played only against four countries in an era where not many matches were played in a year. He did not face too many world class bowlers, with the fastest being Larwood who bowled supposedly at 95 mph Sachin has more than 30,000 Runs. He is playing in an era where every ball is analyzed and taken note of. Yet 12 nations have not found the way to stop this man.51 Test hundreds, 48 ODI hundreds,stands out for Sachin

@KUSHAJ9 you've defeated your own argument there. Bradman didn't play against the likes of Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, the newly hapless Windies, Sri Lanka etc. Jason Gillespie's 200 is an advertisement against letting in minnows to test cricket. Bradman played against top sides, over and over again. There's no doubting Sachin is the greatest today but of all time, it's definitely Bradman.

Suprise Fact: Bradman played really good against right hand fast bowler and left hand spinner, but he struggled against left hand fast bowler and right hand spinners.

bsv1425 10 months ago
Some interesting facts: Bradman played on 10 different grounds and scored century on all except Old trafford, Manchester. His average is 27 on that ground. On Sachin (sydney) Cricket Ground, he played 8 tests only second to MCG and his average is 58. On 5 out of 10 grounds, his average is above 100. I believe if he would have played on more number of ground it would have been difficult to keep very high batting average.
bsv1425 10 months ago
@bsv1425 I have often seen the "number of different grounds" topic come up when comparing Tendulkar and Bradman. Why is it a factor? If you analyse both Bradman's and Tendulkar's first innings at each ground, they both scored well, but both representative of their Test careers. Tendulkar avg 62.88 vs Bradman 109.67.
Am I missing something? Why does this keep coming up as an excuse for Tendulkar's average being lower than Bradman's.
The data suggests that number of grounds had NO bearing on avg.
BlueKiaser 10 months ago
@BlueKiaser If we look at cricket history, we will find that first innings at a particular ground is not the right benchmark of how good the cricketer will be at the end of his career. Moreover, when any batsman is exposed to different conditions and to different bowlers, his performance varies and does not remain consistent. Bradmans and Tendulkars are no exception. I don't have 1% doubt that bradman was greatest of his generations, but he won't be same in modern competitive cricket.

The usage of flipper,carrom ball,googly,doosra,other variations,like leg cutter,slower yorkers etc,only started to gain reputation in 1990s. .

Best batsman - indeed best cricketer - in the world today is AB de Villiers of South Africa. Devastating batsman in all three versions of cricket - Test, ODI and T20. Can score both fast and big and can dominate any bowler on earth! Also a superb wicket-keeper and likely next captain of the South African cricket team. As a fielder, he is arguably the best in the world too!

People say South African Proteas team are chokers. But the ultimate choke was by Donald Bradman. Needed only 6 runs in his final innings to retire with average of 100,00. Should be easy for a guy with his record. What happens? He chokes and is out for a duck! The 99,94 average will forever be a symbolic indication of less-than-perfect! Nonetheless, the greatest batsman of his era and arguably ever. The choke is only conspicuous because it comes across the backdrop of his undoubted greatness!

With the quality of fielding,bowling,pitches now,there was no way you can use the average that was established 70 years ago.

@wibas2008 it is not like shooting or archery where you can compare greats even after 70 years as the game remains the same. Everything about the game has changed. And even vinod kambli averaged over 100 in the first 10 matches he played with double centuries and centuries. People like him can give you that sort of average. Please dont be a fool and compare using averages. And you are retarded to compare sachin with sehwag or sanga. Sachin's technique is the best in cricket.

@wibas2008 Do you know that don bradman told his wife that sachin tendulkar resembles his way of playing after seeing him play in a world cup?In the wc finals,the asking rate was above 7. He had to try to hit the bowlers and take risks. Which he did-anyone batting like that against the australian team in the wc finals with so much pressure-its tough not 2 get out. In the semis-the pitch was bad,ball was stopping and gripping.

The guy interviewing is a complete idiot and ignorant. How can he compare Sir Don with Sachin. Both are Legends in their own right. Sir Don played when they still used bodyline bowling w/out helmets and uncovered pitches. Sachin is modern day cricketing legend no doubt but you cannot compare them.
Try imagining cricket is Sir Don's era and earn yourself 99.96 avg from all tests you interviewing faggot.
Btw I'm Indian.

Apart from Muralidharan, Tendulkar has not handled any of the great modern era bowlers very well. Tendulkar is a superb player of spin. Bradman's era had plenty of great bowlers and pressure. Learn your history.

The kind or Cricket being played these days under different conditions against tough apponents under tremendous pressure, especially against fast bowlers like the great west indians attack of the 70s then guys like Waim Akram,Sohaib Akhter Muralidharan etc just to name a few i think Sir Don would have had a hard time.....

Bradman made the best bowlers of his time look ordinary. Many of the England (eg, Bedser, Bowes, Verity) and Australian bowlers of Bradman's era had averages well under 25. Take Bradman out of the picture and their averages would have been much lower again, such was Bradman's domination. Name me just one of the modern era great bowlers (avg <25) that Tendulkar has dominated. None come to my mind. Tendulkar averaged well under 40 when playing against Glenn McGrath.

Tendulkar is probably the best batsman since Bradman. But until somebody scores more than 3000 test runs at an average of over 100, Bradman will remain the greatest of all time

It is just an insult to Don Bradman by the way this journalist is speaking.As an Indian we must love our country but must respect other countries as well .These media persons recentl hailed Sreesanth as great despite knowing that he was insulting kallis who is much bigger in stature than Sree.And said Kallis didnt answered due to fear.This proves how much they maintain their ethics and respects them .Whole Sachin vs Bradman is media created Sachin himself said Bradman was best ever

if u see punter he is considered as one of the best batsmen but look at his avg in india just in 20s... u never know if don would had played in such conditions with so many diffrent countries and in diffrent count. wht his avg would had been.. and if bradman has 99.99 avg thing then sachin has 97 intern. 100s thing and at the end of his carrier it will be definately around 115 , while punter and kallis will end 75 or max 80 which is a big diff from sachin..
36pratham 1 year ago
both are best of there own era and its unfair with todays greats to be compared with him... those who say he is the best pls tell me against how many strong teams he scored those runs, there was just 1 estableshed team those days england which was already at no. 2 among 2 teams lols... on on the basis of that how can u rate sachin below him thats so funny... he just played in 2 countries australia and england... he never played great spin bowlers never played odis...

Real Conversation between the two-
Tendulkar: How would you go batting today, Don?
Bradman: I think I would average around 70
Tendulkar: 70? Why so low? You averaged around 100!
Bradman: Well I am 84 years old!

@hanros98 He played in an era of flat bowling or bowling without a swing, seam, spin. They used to play a match once in 6 months and cricketers those days used to have something else as their profession or means to earn for their bread and butter. So its no different from club cricket. Actually guy in my avatar played 40 matches and scored 50 centuries at an average of 120runs/innings at club cricket level. So he must be the best ever batsman in cricket history.

@8917221pl You people actually mistaken me. I'm not comparing Bradman with Sachin, I'm comparing Bradman with local club cricketer.
And sorry I changed my avatar, actually I thought of putting a pic of a local cricketer with an average of over 120 but I think I had much better pics.

@hanros98 happy to see someone talking with some sense. Retards have been trashtalking. Playing only against england-only 4 bowlers to get used to-and only around 30 tests-if you focused,in those conditions,back then,it is possible. Now,i doubt so,even more so,if you play over 100 tests. Even hussey had an average of 75 in tests when he came. Now it is less than 60.
mumbaiindianspollock 10 months ago
Anyone can score 50 centuries over 22 years.... that's like 2 and 1/2 centuries a year.... pretty pathetic really. 13 best test average in the history of the game for Sachin... Shouldn't even be comparing the two batsmen.... There are better to compare..... Pollock and Bradman....Sutcliffe and Bradman... etc. This is a dead topic. BRADMAN WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER FREAK.... and no one in the game then and now has got remotely near the guy.... even with smaller grounds and better technology.
prwilkinson 1 year ago
@prwilkinson thats so retarded.You are only using averages-and averages change according to eras. He only played against england mainly. The quality of bowling fielding etc,was nothing then. So he was good at getting the bowlers . No one has even see don bradman play or his technique. Just looking at his average,u guys are trashtalking.
mumbaiindianspollock 10 months ago
@mumbaiindianspollock Donald played in the 1930's and 1940's.... Thousands of people saw him play!!!! And still say he is BY FAR AND AWAY the greatest batsmen. You can say that but he always played in conditions that would have far suited the bowler.... uncovered pitches for starters when it rained.... slow outfields etc. The Don was just a FREAK it's as simple as that. What does it say for everyone else that has played the game if you talk down Donald? Give their careers some credit as well!!!!

@007dalal what do u expect him to say then?that he is better than don?yo!sachin is always humble. he never brags. Even don told his wife that sachin had an almost exactly same style of play in terms of batting technique when he saw sachin the world cup 1996. What do u say about that?
mumbaiindianspollock 10 months ago
@mumbaiindianspollock there are many people who has similar technique to great players.Darren Bravo has similar technique to Brain lara .Will u say he is better than Lara. Carl Hooper was similar to Viv richards.Gunawardane and Tharanga to Jayasuriya. there have been many carbon copy of greats.And it doesnt matter how good is copy it is always less than original.
007dalal 10 months ago
In a given day anyone could be better than bradman or sachin. In a given period of time anyone could be better than bradman or sachin. but not everyone can still have the edge even after scoring 13000. and another 17000 of course. Bradman was greatest of his time. Sachin has been the greatest ever since we get to see him 20 years ago. You cannot compare players from an old era with players from a modern era. That's just impossible. everyone who concludes including me will be wrong in judgement.
csbarathi 1 year ago
@csbarathi No, Sachin is great and all, but Even guys like Ponting are not too fare behind his Record and Kallis could and probably will surpass it. That does not mean they are better Then SRT, but the fact is that Sachin record has more to do with being great and playing a lot of matches. Bradman's record is Super Human no will even get close to breaking it. It is virtually impossible. You know this deep down. With great respect to you my dear friend you know this deep down.
jay123tysk 1 year ago
@jay123tysk Well when Vinod Kambli came into test cricket I still remember they said he maybe the one who can come close to Don. But his career ended even before it started. Politics BCCI lack of self discipline whatever it is. it was his cricket that ruined his career. I'm not sure I believe deep down that no one can come close to Don. I do know for sure that no human will get a fair chance :) They will still have to break his record in an era of Doosras googlies and reverse swing

@M4st3rm1nd. Stop Lying to yourself my friend. I do not mean to offend you in any way or hurt your feelings, but can you honestly say that Sachin (who is no doubt a legend) is better than a guy who scored 99,94 runs on average every time he went to bat? I know it is hard to accept the truth but be honest with yourself. It does not matter what I think. What matter's is the truth and you do know it deep down. Fuck me and call me names, but just be hounest with yourself. best wishes
