All the Bradman records are delomished , now why we compare the Sachin or Sehwag with Bradman, Better way Brand is to be compared by these new generation Hero, Brandman is no where , forgot the Brand and compare with Sachin or Sehwag, We are Indian, Brandman is Australin Tendulkar or Australian Sehwag

It is not the question of nationality. Bradman is Bradman, and nobody can break his record in real sense. 52 tests and 28 centuries, at a phenominal average of 99% plus! Can anybody beat this record?
Viru is badshah in his own way. So is Tendulkar. They are all great and there is no point in comparing these greats.

Not yet. Nobody has the average of 99 in tests and nobody has scored more than 10 double centuries after Don. So still some records of him are intact.

Bradman played in an era where the bowling attacks were pretty weak. England did not have a strong bowling attack during this period with the exception of during the Bodyline series. One more thing, Bradman was the best batsman of strong Australian teams which boasted fine batsmen like Woodfull, Ponsford, McCabe, Fingleton and many others. So Bradman's task was made easier. He did'nt have to play in varied conditions, nor did he have to play a barrage of pace bowlers. The one series he faced the barrage, Bodyline, he averaged in the 50's. This is not to put Bradman down, but harping on his 99 average is a little too much.

..i will not hesitate to say that you have not much understanding of test cricket... or you are getting emotionally carried away by only 293 i cant understand...since when saving a match has become boring.

Rohitji,
There is no point in trying to educate these people. They want everybody to play like a Sehwag or a Kapil Dev, the reason being that they have notm even touched a bat or ball during their whole life! The bane of Indian cricket is these so called fans!

i like the cricketer who play for people not for some own records
people never consider Sehwag one of the greats to play this game because, once he leaves the crease and return to pavilian, he never show the ego of Ganguly or Yuvraj and he never brags about anything and also all you hear from him is 'if there is a bad ball, i will hit'.
his simplicity and humbleness has made him there is always a gap with him with greatest like Viv Richards. in my view, these two are the most destructive batsmen ever to play this game. however, Viv was gifted with mammoth figure, aggressive look, his way of walking to the crease with bat strolling along the ground and his super inflated ego at the crease. These gifted qualities of Viv make Sehwag stands in second place to Viv, nothing else.
Sehwag played enough tests and scored enough runs at the phenomenal rate to be called one of the greats. People may argue like Viv never had helmet on him. This is absurd. not everyone can play like Sehwag just by wearing helmet.
before, i used to love cricket because of Viv, and now, i love cricket because of Viru.

Beautiful write up nayak. Yes sehwag is not considered gtr simply because he does not play the convenional way, but the way he gets those huge hundreds and puts the fear of `sehwag' into the opposition, he is nothing short of grt!
People go to a Test match just to watch Tendulkar. I, for one, would rather watch him than bowl against him. Actually, I'm glad I'll never have to bowl to him in a Test match again, though I've been quite successful against him. He is No. 1 in my book - the best player I have ever had the privilege of bowling to. There's Steve Waugh and there's Brian Lara, who was wonderful in 1995, but Tendulkar is a class above, consistently special.
Your margin for error against him really is marginal. If you get him on a flat track, when he is, say, 50 not out off 24 balls, then you know that you have a very long day ahead and the situation can be very, very demoralising. The best knock I can remember him playing was at Newlands in 1997, when he was just unstoppable. We only got him thanks to a blinding catch by Adam Bacher off a hook shot, otherwise he would have gone on and on.
Under Hansie Cronje we studied hard for a Tendulkar weakness. We thought he might be vulnerable, especially early in his innings, to the ball that is bowled from wide of the crease, coming back in off a good length. He might then be bowled through the gate, or be lbw, especially on English wickets. We also tried peppering him with short balls - not many top-class batters like that - but it didn't really seem to bother him. The one thing that might rattle him is being restricted. He loves scoring, and scoring quickly, and if he is frustrated, sometimes he goes out and looks for the big shot.
