Each great player is unique.All are not similar.If you say Brdaman was great it does not mean others are not.But this grearest thing is rediculous. Let us take Imran or Akram or kallis. Are they not great?
I welcome this assesment.Thank you the research scholar for devoting your valuable time and energy on such an urgent and subject of great importance to man kind.
To see these insects in the gutter burn with envy. The more they dislike SRT, the more accolades and praise he keeps getting from the rest of the world, opinions which really matter ahead of the opinions of those insects from the gutter. Only way for them to vent frustration is over the net, comments that the world doesn't give 2 hoots about!!
I'd love to see their misery when he gets the Bharat Ratna (which he will). Those poor souls would probably need psychiatric help throughout the rest of their lives.

"I'd love to see their misery when he gets the Bharat Ratna (which he will). Those poor souls would probably need psychiatric help throughout the rest of their lives". Absolutely correct but you forgot to mention his 100th hundred. This feet will cause an injury to his critics and Bharat Ratna will rub the salt on their injury.

I would like to c if Sachin is awarded the post of President of India after Prathibha patel as Tendulkar is gifted with more Pratibha..

I dont have anything against Tendulkar.But when i see this kind news it hurts.What about natural sportsmen whose aim was to please like Sobers,Botham,Imran,Richards ,Marshal,Millar,harvey .These rankings have no validy.Merely based on statistics.
Re: Re: Re: So satisfying .....

Funny thing is that out of those names, Sobers and King Viv have already rated Tendulkar as the best batsman they have seen. I personally however would rate those 2 above Tendulkar. Post war era, I'd rate Sobers as the best batsman, closely followed by King Viv, and then Tendulkar.

Sobers cannot say," I am the greatest cricketer" It wud be immodest and invite the wrath of 1.2 billion.
Re: Re: Re: Re: So satisfying .....
by Dire Straits on Dec 22, 2011 11:14 PM
Sobers certainly didn't rate Tendulkar ahead of him. He merely stated that Tendulkar is the best batsman he has seen.

Bhaskar: Death wishes?? Most Aussie fans do have that kinda attitude whilst he plays against them.
Bradman played 10/52 test i.e almost 20% tests against the weakest teams of his time[India and SA] with an avg of 190.25
Tendulkar played 14/171 i.e 8% of his tests against the weakest two teams of his time[Bangladesh and zimbabwe] with an avg of 91.47
Every players loves to play against one quality attack,Bradman loved English attack be it at home or in England. He has played 37/52 tests i.e. 71% of his matches against a single familiar opponent. so if V Shewag had played 71% of all his 82 test against his most favourite attack i.e Pakistan[He has an avg of 91 against them], his career avg would have been 80.43.
Bradman's avg had fallen considerably againt quality West Indian attack[74.50] or in bodyline series[55].Bodyline searies indicates one aspect that had he played in today's time with so much techno;ogy around opposition team would have definitely found some chinks or area of discomfort for Bradman, which he mostly escaped in that era.
The point is simple in todays age and time if Bradman had played he would have an avg of around 70 certainly nt 99.94 which was a sheer accident of time.
Had tendulkar played in similar type i.e more matches against the weakest teams or more matches against his favourite attack or only in India and Australian wicket year after year, his avg will also be somewhere near 70.
Also when Tendulkar is playing as a member of one of the finest batting line up where Shewag/Laxman/Dravid is diverting the focus of oppositi

Also when Tendulkar is playing as a member of one of the finest batting line up where Shewag/Laxman/Dravid is diverting the focus of opposition, in the last few years, he is scoring runs just like bradman did. Where as tendulakr mostly carried the burden of a weak indian batting line up at least up to 2000 [11 yrs of his career] where opposition knwe one thing [Out tendulkar and india is gone] and so they did everything to get him out. Today getting tendulkar out is nt enough.Bradman mostly played in a team where he was nt the only match winner.
Sachin Tendulkar is the best batsman ever....!!!!
Bradman had an average of 99.96...but 75% (5200 out 6996) runs have come against only one opposition....England.
Bradman played in an era where pitches were not covered....but that was negated by the restriction that bowlers should not be bowling above the waist height of a batsman...!!!!
Bradman and Co did not have an helmet...but the bowlers were not allowed to bowl into their ribcage.....when they bowled into their ribcage...it turned out to be a "Body Line Serie"....Bradman averaged 56 in the bodyline series...It brings down to the conclusion that had bradman also played in the current era where the bowlers target the ribcage of the batsman, he would have also ended up his average in his 50's...!!!
Also dont forget today batsmen are disected like never before with the help of latest technology. Opposition team will rarely bowl at his scoring zone, making ru

If Cricket is a game which is played only in WI,Aus,Eng,NZ then Sir Don, Sir Garry pr Sir Viv are the greatest as those are the condition where they were comfortable playing just like Shewag is comfortable playing in subcontinent tracks.But cricket is also about playing in India,Pakistan, Srilanka, Bangladesh in true spinning tracks against deadly spin where most of these greats failed when they played. Just like it is easy for Shewag to whack WI or Aus fast bowlers playing on spinning track it was easy for many named greats to score against Indian military pace or spin on the fast tracks of their home countries. I know its hard to digest bt this is a fact. Why Sachin or Kallis or Ponting or Dravid are great cause they were successful in all kinds of wickets almost all over the world and look at their stats.

Uncle all your points have some sense, but "Bradman played in an era where pitches were not covered....but that was negated by the restriction that bowlers should not be bowling above the waist height of a batsman" is ridiculous...... Don't you know about infamous body line series?? If not, don't write on cricket
Re: Re: Re: Sachin Vs Don
by Against Pseudos on Dec 23, 2011 02:52 AM
Infamous Bodyline where Bradman had to face "real" bowling hence his average dropped? Hmmmmm good point.
giving arguemnt that tendulkar is greatest because he has faced greater bowlers...i just googled n foudn that : .against mcgrath,donald,akhtar in aus,sa n in pak..tendulkar averages only

Little curious to go the way you gone to get the stats. Means, I would like to know, how or from where you came to know, sachin has average only less than for these particular Bowlers. I would like to know his avg against Warne and Murali.
Re: Re: Some were found
by sunil vaidya on Dec 23, 2011 07:17 AM
Pseudo: it was as good as tendulkar average when he sachin did not have to face tough bodyline bowling...:)
in other words at his worst series (bodyline) bradman was STILL better than sachin...:)
In other words when sachin was at his best he was still LESSER than bradman's WORST....

You are forgetting the standard of fielding now and in Bradman era ! Catching, stopping boundaries have improved a lot now. The technology used today was not there in that era ! Benefit of doubt was given by the umpires to the batsman !
Re: Re: Re: Re: Some were found
by sunil vaidya on Dec 27, 2011 09:41 PM
anand datar, it is your life and your choice. you can think what you want to think about bradman and sachin. nobody can do anything about it. but it is a fact for everyone to see that when bradman faced his worst series (bodyline) his averaga there was still 50 plus which is tendulkar normal average when in his life he never faced bodyline bowling...
in other words (i repeat) bradman at in his worst was still better than tendulkar at his best)....
