@36pratham

Who cares?

He doesn't understand the most basic point:

Bradman best among AMATEURS

Tendulkar best among PROS

It is THAT simple

[NikPnchl7]

The thing thats different between Tendulkar and Bradman is that there werent as many good cricketers around in Bradman's era.... which is why he was "best by far" Bradman in the modern era would also be best by "that much"

[sydneymassive]

I can't believe there are people that actually think that Tendulkar is better than Bradman... Seriously??

If anything bowlers back then were better and he didn't have all the technology available (improved bats and protection) that modern players have. Anybody that knows cricket knows that

Bradman > Tendulkar

@DyingSID666

Holy shit,

You seriously dont have a clue do you?

Read my comment again.

As regards insulting your intelligence - the implicit assumption in such a statement is that you possess of any intelligence in the first place.

Reading your inane garbage this doesnt seem to be the case.

@alllman2000 holy shit, you don't actually believe the shit that just came out of your mouth do you? I cant believe your actually suggesting that Zimbabwe and Bangladesh went by the names South Africa and India, if that was the case where were the actually teams from India and SA, if your going to argue at least have the decency not to insult my intelligence and actually bring a logical debate.

[alllman2000]

@DyingSID666

Oh , Bradman was the greatest minnow basher of all time.

Sure they did have Ban and Zim then...only thing is at that time they went by the names India, South Africa etc...England was the only half decent team around.

[DyingSID666]

@ashokatibrewal yeah man, cause by your logic Glenn Mcgrath isn't as good as Shaun Tait, pace isn't everything bud.

[1212yuvi]

@DyingSID666 Cause all the batsmen back then were amateur and crap as well, its just Bradman was good among those crap and amateur players now fuck off. If you have a problem go cry about it, and if you wish to reply to this comment then go ahead but still fuck you i dont care cause i wont respond.

[DyingSID666]

@1212yuvi if the bowlers were all amateurs than where are all the other batsman with high averages, there are none, no one in Bradman's era comes close and no one in this era comes close, the conditions back then were best for bowling, not batting.

[DyingSID666]

@alllman2000 No, never mastered sticky wickets means he wasn't that good at playing on pitches that had rain on them, because pitches were uncovered then, a flat track bully is someone who dishes it out to weak teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, like Jacques Kallis, but oh wait, THOSE TEAMS DIDN'T EXIST IN BRADMAN'S TIME.

[DyingSID666]

@NikPnchl7 if the bowlers weren't that good then where are the other batsman that have high averages from that era, no one from that era has averages even in the 60s, no one came close then, and they played on uncovered pitches that would have made batting extremely difficult, no easy beat teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and they had smaller bats, face facts, Bradman had the greatest batting skills of all time.

In the context of chosing a batman that is going to make the biggest impact I would go for Viv Richards. Helped W.I. dominate world cricket. Rather than just compiling runs while the team draws the test match.
