I dont know why every reference of Don Bradman should be related to Sachin. Both of them played in totally different eras and in different circumstances. Obsession with Sachin has to end somewhere (for or against him, does not matter).

its not expensive the deal was to make black money into white with Bakra called Sir Jadeja... hehehe
Bradman had no LBWs in that time. So just consider how many times he wud have simply blocked the ball with his legs...no LBW and also chances of getting bowled get tremendously reduced. Sachin is the BEST.
Though the Australian media potrays Bradman as the greatest ever, there are enough pointers to the fact that Tendulkar easily outshines everyone. Consdier these: 1. Bradman never had the pressures of too much cricket, ODIs or T20s. While Tendulkar has been playing virtually non-stop and is considered the greatest ODI player ever. And he has done well in t20s, winning titles with MI. 2) Pressure of a billion for Tendulkar to perform, while Bradman didnt have any sort of pressure of that scale. EVery match, tendulkar was expected to score a 100. 3) Bradman had the comfort of a great bowling attack, while Tendulkar had only kumble and srinath in the 90s 4) Bradman didnt face any spinners of quality, and the INdian spin quatret came after he retired. Tendulkar has runs and dominated the likes of akram,donald and also destroyed Warne. 5) Bradman played in only Aus and Eng. While tendulkar played all over the world, even in toronto and sharjah. Different conditions,different challenges and he overcame them all, with great success. SO it can easily be said that Tendulkar is the greatest batsman ever. Maybe the greatest is gary sobers, but lets not forget that Tendulakr has 150 odi wickets as well.

sandeep kumar, playing during don bradman's days was much more difficult than today...sachin plays today with helmets etc. all protective gear...bradman had to face bodyline attack...
don also played test cricket for 20 years and even though he did not play for so long during the world war...when he came back it was as if he had taken no break he started hitting 100s again...as for tendulkar he needs to play so many matches to play a good innings...if he stopped playing for so many years like bradman and came back he would not be able to handle any bowlers...even though he was sent early to aus last time to get acclimatixzed what happened? a flop...
bradman scored more 100s than 50s...even when they attacked him bodyline even in that series he scored at 57 runs average...in other words even in his worst series he still was better than tendulkar at his best...

Bradman, even when we had decided to retire at the age of 40 in 1948, was asked by many to continue for a few more seasons, in order to cross the batting avg of 100. But Tendulkar, at 39 is being asked by many to retire, even though he is still one of the best batsmen for the country.
