2352 in 47 inn Vs 5028 in 37 Does Sachin even deserves a comparison.
Think about it, while Sachin scored 2352 in 47 innings, Bradman scored more than double that much runs (5028) while playing ten innings less than Sachin did.
This comparison is unfair, grossly underestimating Don Bradman.

Hey Satish.. I'm sure it's just a genuine mistake from Prince John.. Anyway it's not fundamentally changing his argument. The only problem is that he is becoming oversensitive about something which hasn't even been implied - viz. that Sachin as a batsman is being compared with Sir Don. The article only mentions that Sir Don held the record for most runs against a country, and now Sachin has exceeded that. Prince disagrees. What for? I don't know. But that's life. Cheers!

thomas. Waste of effort. On this forum. I know your sentiments, and admire them. Great cricketers know this sentiment and have that respect for Sachin. Not here mate.. not with these self-proclaimed pundits of the game. Cheers!
Sachin was a time bomb when he joined internation cricket at the age of 16
He was very lethal and did not care for any bowler and then
ONE DAY he met sunil gavaskar who asked him to control and concentrate on centuries
and this approcach made sachin very greedy for runs and he stopped attacking and started playing cautiously and if u notice
Most of sachins one day centuries ,when he approaches 90's he wastes many balls and puts himself in chance of getting out
even in 1996 world cup he was in great form and his century against kenky he wasted many balls to score just one run, this shows how greedy he became for century
The last match again he wasted some balls and eventually got out,had India lost that match am sure many would have again criticized him for wasting some extra balls to get his ton
SACHIN also lost his abality to handle pressure in big games ,this is the reason he has a bad record while chasing
The credit for changing the attitude of the team just goes to one man Saurav Ganguly and today Dhoni is enjoying the fruits
Ganguli as a batsman was okay but as a captain he was very smart and aggressive
Over all sachin's contribution to current team mates is 0
No one learned any thing from him as he is a very shrewd person and would just care for himself
Even in current series dhoni was open to support bhajji but sachin was quiet all the while
This is sport and its not a spiritual camp where u expect players to be quiet and humbl

This guy has written this for gaining Cheap publicity/attraction. Its obvious that youngsters are very agressive and seldom cares about any pacemen in the world. That is what it is required from them at the early stages. Not only Sachin, even Dhoni was very agressive on his initial days. Is he playing on the same pattern now? Team will expect only sensible innings from experience players. Scoring 30-40 runs on 20 balls and getting out of the innings will not be helpful for the team. It's players Privilege to be selfish about their individual score. This will be benefitial for team too. Though Sachin was wasting more balls during his tension 90's he has compensated at the end several times. Sachin had successfully came across the well known critic - 'He could not handle the pressure situation' on the recent 3 innings against Aussies & Sri Lanka. Sachin's appearance on ODI will definitely give moral boost to Dhoni and youngsters like Uthappa, Rohit Sharma,Gambhir,Dhinesh Karthik and all. They can learn a lot for him. Some of Sachin's strokes (especially pushing Johnson's ball bewteen WK's head and third man, Straight drives, agressive cover drives)were really enjoyable in recent CB series. There are lot of evidences avaiable on NDTV, Cricket Next portal about Sachin's role on Harbajan's issue. The writer can take his own time to go around them, posted last month. I am confident, no Indian player can replace Sachin now. He is still Lethal who is sharpening himself on every m

Your knowledge of sport is less than a peanut. To say Sachin is greedy for runs is something he will be proud of..He plays to make runs and he scores them in plenty and that is why he is in the team. Only people who can't get runs have to look at other attributes like captaincy etc, for they know for sure their place is not secure for they don't how to make runs consistently as only sachin does....

Sachin is one of the best sportsman India has ever had. To say that he has been greedy for runs and has lost the ability to handle pressure is absolutely ridiculous. Do you even realise what it is to go in the middle of the ground and everybody expecting you to score runs. I live in Australia and let me tell you that he is perhaps the only Indian player who is known and loved by the Australians. As far as the approach that Sachin took with regards to Harbhajan was quite apt. Dhoni as a captain has to support Bhajii whether he likes it or not. By the way why only Sachin what about the other players ??? Also, just because you are playing some sport and you are humble and quiet doesn't mean you lack the killer instinct. That is what is so special about this remarkable player and makes him so loved by the masses around the world similar to Rodger Federer who is humble and quiet and yet possess the killer instinct!

We think they are doing ad so they are not performing actually its the other way round they get ad because they are performing. The day the performance dips so does the ads and the money. If cricketers are greedy then they need to perform better and even better otherwise no one will pay them.Yes if Sachin has made a lot of money that means he is consistently performing for long. The ad and commercial world is ruthless and cruel they drop people as soon as they lose their form. Sachin is the most hardworking cricketers of all times. He even practices in the hotel room during tours no wonder he is the best and is making money.I wish Sachin makes more money and becomes a billionaire. Anyone with such dedication will become rich be it cricket, football, corporate world, creative arts etc Students should read about Sachin when they re in their teens as he is the right role model. Think what would happen to you when you are 16 and you are the most popular person in the nation, its easy to lose ones head when you get everything when you are 16.

Don Bradman's big average can be attributed to slow bowling, slothy fielding and smaller grounds during his time.Cricket has changed a lot-It has become more competative.Hence u acnt compare Sachin or Gavaskar or Richards with Bradman.Sunil gavaskar had the best technique as batsman, Vivaian richards a murderer of any bowling.Sachin has the combination of both.I think Sachin is greatest of all.
RE:Comparism not proper

yes. all these factors made Bradman's score look good but one more important thing you missed here is the use of technology in cricket.. from the kind of bats curve to ball's seam and bowlers action everything is under srutiny these days. Also you may recall that Sachin was the first ever player to be adjudged run out by the TV umpire.

The great thing abt Sachin has been his consistancy. We have seen lot of great batsmen but how many of them started career at 17 and going beyond 35...he is still carrying on and doing good. He is reaching ODI records of max runs and centuries which seems to be unbreakable. He deserves a big salute from each cricket fan...be it in India or anywhere else.

Now that India is finding good bowlers who can bowl well outside india, india is starting to win some matches. Tendulkar can score runs in heaps, but the team has to take wickets and defend his runs.
