ST is more of a Bragman than a Bradman. Just concentrating on his achievements. I am watching the match between Aussies and India. Indians seems to play individually while Aussies as a team. Kind of disappointed.

what makes Sachin the greatest batsman ever
by LG on Jan 04, 2012 02:48 AM


-being the best both in attack and defense as well...allowing him to control/pace his inning on all kinds of pitches

- can play five different shots on same kind of delivery

- the best again pace and spin as well

- longevity coupled with consistency .... only the best among the best can survive for long time, many players like Lara, Vaughan, who were once compared to Sachin, came and gone, but Sachin is still the best bat in the world

- being best in all formats of cricket....bet it 20-20, ODI, or Test.

Because of all this, he is considered the greatest batsman ever not only by fans but also by cricketers and commentators as well.

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

Bullshit opinion
by cc man on Jan 04, 2012 12:42 AM  | Hide replies

Not sure on what basis people call him modern day Bradman. Does he boast far better batting average compared to his his generation of cricketers? No. There are lot of batsmen on and above his current batting average like Kallis,Sangakkara,Ponting,Dravid etc

Does he boast big daddy hundreds like Bradman? No. Sehwag has more daddy hundreds

Does he boast reputation of playing like a champion where odds are high and under pressure etc? No. He has been failing 90% of time time required him to deliver stellar innings.

Pathetic batsmen, not sure why he is playing still. Nobody no his objectives to play still. And same for Dravid

Tendulkar is the modern day Bradman

No one in the world can be like a Sir Bradman. He has made 26 century in just 52 matches, If any body break this record then only he can be capable for comparing with Bradman. Indian Media are misleading the people by comparing Sachin with Bradman & Dhyanchand.

he only played against two countries and didn't have half the pressure sachin has and if you notice he said modern bradman, that is not comparing that is complimenting.

Jawahar... Nobody doubts that Mr Bradman was great. Lets get the facts straight here. 29 Centuries by Don and that was only against England and the likes. No turning pitches , no one days, no over the board cricket which is killing the physical fitness of the best of the performers. Now Sachin has played for almost 20 years, been playing in all formats and has almost scored hundred hundreds, bowled in one days and got 150 plus wickets in one dayers... what more can you ask ?

bradman was a home pitches bully playing amongst friends most of his career with equally friendly umpires whom never gave him out lbw or runout...
many batsmen are better than hyped overrated bradman... and sachin is without doubt all time greatest batsman ever...
