OK agreed they play in different era and under different circumstances. But these playing itself makes Sachin much better than Bradman. To me these are key differentiators are as given below, u judge who is the best: 1. Bradman played 37 out of his 52 matches against one opponent, England i.e. he batted against same style of attack. So one can argue that he got accustomed to play against the English attack. Whereas Sachin played against all test plying nations i.e. varied style and attack. 2. Technology was not used in cricket then. Whereas Sachin was the first player to be judged run-out by the third umpire. The point is with advent of technology it is more difficult to get the benefit of doubt. Let's accept, if technology was used in Bradman's time he might have been run-out few extra times than what he did and therefore his final batting avg. would not have been 99.94. 3. Bradman scored 18 out of his 29 centuries and 61% of his total runs at home. Sachin scored 22 out oh his 50 centuries (till date) and 45% of his total runs at home. It is usually considered that there is a "home advantage" is cricket. 4. People do argue that Bradman played fast bowlers without helmet and other guards. Well but using guards is and added burden and it only slows down the speed of attack. BTW.. Sachin also played the fierce attack of fast blowers like Ambrose, Walsh, Imran, Akram, Waqar and some of the best spinners cricket has ever produced Murli and Warne.

Tendulkar and more great players consider Bradman as a great player and wish to be like him. That makes Bradman a special player. All greats consider Bradman as greatest. For those who havent entered a Cricket ground to play cricket can show their talent with these statistics

You are right Abhijit. May be you can understand cricket better than any of us because u have probably entered the cricket ground. but sorry.. i don;t recall ur name.. anyways, try to understand dear that internationally cricket is considered as the game of the whites. these whites will always praise other whites and never give due consideration to others. The likes of Richard Headly and Ian Bottham have been knighted, but Kapil Dev, Gavaskar and even Clive Llyod are not. These whites loves to make their own red (translate it in Hindi). Above are just 4 points there are many more to prove Sachin's greatness like his fitness level and that he plays in all 3 international formats of cricket so on and so forth.
CENTURIES BY LAXMAN, DRAVID, SEHWAG, DHONI, EVEN HARBHAJAN, HAVE HELPED INDIA WIN MATCHES. INDIA ENDS UP LOSING WHENEVER TENDULKAR SCORES ONE. RESULT BE OUT BY THIS EVENING.
AT THE MOMENT WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THE 50TH TON BY OUR LIVING LEGEND.

Guys, who are commenting that all centuries of sachin are for a lossing cause they are not aware that out of 50 test centuries, 20 are for winning cause, 10 for loosing cause, and 19 for a draw, and this 50th one well may be a loosing cause, still he have more centuries for a winning cause. Now guys who are crticizing sachin, go get a life, you all are sore losers.

For you yes. That has been the bane of indian cricket which is slowly changing. Nevertheless it is a proud moment for india that an indian has reached 50 centuries. It will be broken in future the way wickets are being prepared now. But it will take time and another early starter.

This century if ends for a loosing cause, can Sachin be blamed for that? We were dismissed for just 136 in first Innings and a 'paceless' pace attack gave opponents easy scoring runs. Kallis, a slow player, scored at good strike rate and AB scored like in a T20. So this Century will go as for loosing cause for those who like to be in limelight by criticising Master Blaster
ur records have shown ur the best in the world of cricket... but can u retain the same BAT and score tons of runs nearly 3000 runs have been scored with one bat that clearly shows how good and clean player of the cricket ball. amazing tech simply superb sachin..wish yo all the best for world cup ...
I mean, people has lost their logical thinking, they dont plan, they can not analyse anything. they just like to say something and criticism scores more than apreciation,,so thats it..
