Difficult to expect any franchisee to buy Lara, Gilchrist, Lee, Marsh, Broad, Swann, Wright or Yardy for $400,000. Wonder how BCCI fixes the price! From the top bracket, only Jayawardene, Dilshan, Gayle, Pietersen, Vettori and McCullum can be expected to be bought.
Sachin for last two years has played only 14 test and scored 2383 runs at an whopping average of 89.62.... He scored 8 centuries during the same period. Is that not Bradmanesque???
He has played very few ODI's (apart from t20) and concentrated only for Test series. I can bet upon him that if he plays just test matches for next say 3-4 years against 2-3 opponents (Aus, Eng, SA,) his batting avg would be over 100 and not 99.96!
The point I am trying to make is in today's world there are so many distractions and distractors and this little genius has carried it so well and focussed only on his cricket.

This clearly says that you know nothing about cricket. My humble request is, just for sake of writing something on this page dont write nonsense. Can you check for the Bradman's records he has not played a single match outside Australia. Just playing on his home ground he has set this record. Thats not the case with Sachin

This is a really skewed analysis. I am pro Bradman (who was a phenomenon no doubt) and Surely Pro Sachin as well whom I've had the pleasure of watching from his first match.
But Bradman never played so many oppositions, under such varied playing conditions, traveled as much, had to handle the pressure of over a billion countrymen and play in two completely different formats of cricket (excluding T 20 format for now) as much as Sachin as done. There is no way of knowing if Bradman's body would have handled so much cricket for so long. SO LETS THROW AWAY THE COMPARISONS BETWEEN THESE TWO greats and celebrate both their achievements. ..............

Sir Bradman mostly played against England and on fewer grounds. If you keep on playing with limited opponents and grounds, I'm sure Sachin would have scored more with better average. Its irrelevant to discuss this anyways, on top of in this forum. You just don't sound a Cricket fan, but more of an anti-Sachin.

Ask Sachin too play only in few grounds every year against any one team. He will do better than Bradman.

Modern players have lots of comforts - helmets to protecting gears, video analysis of each and every player. So I still feel, Bradman's feet is remarkable. Sachin is best in this Era. These comparisons are like who is best Dilip Kumar or Sharuk Khan.
LET US HOPE THE IPL NEXT VERSION ALSO COME LIKE A CIRCUS AND DOES THE REST OF THE JOB OF SPOILING THE OFFICIAL CRICKET. SOME OF OUR PLAYERS ARE EARNING ANOUGH MOENY WHICH EVEN THEIR PARANTS NEVER THAUGHT OF.THIS IS A GAME THAT ONLY 10 COUNTRIES IN THIS WORLD PLAYS. OTHERS HAVING NO IDEA ABOUT THIS GAME.IF YOU SEE IN THE MORNING OF SUNDAYS OR HOLYDAYS, THE GROUNDS AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE FULL WITH PARANTS BRING KIDS TO MAKE THEM SACHIN,SAURAV OR DHONI.THIS WAY WE ARE SPOILING OUR SPORTING HABIT.IPL IS EVEN SPOILING THE SAME GAME WHICH MADE THEM MILLIONEERS.GOD BLESS ALL OF THE BCCI'S GREAT SHARKS. G K BANERJEE, FOOTBALL AND HOKEY LOVER.
