Don't compare DON with any one. He scored the runs when non of the latest facilities, equipment's, were available. HE IS GRT & will remail GRT, please don't compare & insult the great like DON Bradman

I think Don scored Century before Lunch, 100 between Lunch & Tea AND 100 between Tea and end of the day (if my info is correct) Waiting to see someone equal this record.

Don scored runs at will in the days of no helmets and no fielding restrictions. It may sound a cliche 'old is gold' thing but he really was incomparable and still is.

Only thing Don had in his favour was that in those days cricket was not such a deluge of cricket and players got enough time to recover after matches.

You got it partly wrong. At Leeds in 1930, Don scored a century before lunch, completed his double by teat and his triple by tea - 304 runs in a day! However, he didn't score a century in the last session but, I think, 87. He said he was a little tired towards the end. The commentators and writers who saw that innings said there was not a drop of perspiration on him.

Looks like Mr Ram is highly impressed by Galli Mohallah type Batting style. Viru a sheer LappeBaaj with zero technique are figuring before Don hehehe...If these so called Great even Don had faced the lethal bolwing era of 80/90s.. their career would not have lasted beyond 25 matches even Sachin may not have achieved half of his records, had he played in that ere. All are plainly dead Wicket Bullies.

I agree with this sentiment. In the last day, Sachin and Dhoni were struggling to put bat on ball but Sir Jadeja Sobers walked in and hit two boundaries in one over and sealed the match for India.
