Is it OK to compaire sachin with the greatest batsman of all time? What do you think? Both were brilliant cricketers but in different generations. So,is a comparison actually possible between those two?

Hi, Let's see a few things first 1) Bradman faced only a handful of british fast bowlers of his era whereas sachin has faced many from all test playing nations today 2) Restrictions on bat were lineant during Bradman's days than now 3) There was no third umpire in Bradman's days. Most of the runouts were in favour of batsmen before third umpire was used. 4) Bradman never faced world class spinners in his time 5) Bradman didn't have the luxury(?) of satisfying 1 billion expectations and hopes 6) Bradman didn't have to beat acrobatic and agile fielders in his days as now, who pluck catches out of thin air or dive to stop a boundary. 7) Despite all the on field achievements, Bradman was not liked by his fellow players in the dressing room unlike Tendulkar. 8) It seems Bradman hit only about 4 sixes or so in his entire career, so it's obvious as to who thrills the crowd more. 9) No captain tossed the ball to Bradman to provide important breakthroughs So, now you tell me, who is the greatest The Don or our next door boy Sachin?

Good to see your survey in showing the Little Master the greatest Player of the Cricket. He is indeed the best for any generation, against any country as a batsman, as a bowler, as a captain, as a fielder and amny more.

Don Bradman was a great player really.It is actually not right to comapre one another because you see Don has never played one-day cricket.If he would have played one-day cricket I am sure he would have done wonders there also.

I think both are legends, and are from different places and generations, they both did woders in their respective places in thier time. Sir Don Bradman itself told that achin Batting reminds his own Batting, I think its a great honour for Sachin and for Indian Cricket

I think by comparing u got the good statistics thawho is the best. Acoording to statistics sachin good. But bradman is legend. Without any legend how new one get inspired... So both r great player. Bradman is inspiration of sachin...May be some other day a new player arises and get inspired from sachin and become good player....

There is no point in comparision between two great legengs of different generations. The conditions are totally different to both generations. We have not seen much of Bradman and never known much the conditions in which he has played. But this Little Master is definitely the greatest batsman indeed the greatest cricketer of todays generation whether its batting, bowling or fielding. Cricket means Sachin Tendulkar.

well i think its difficult to compare two batting legends of different decades.One thing for sure is both these legends ruled the cricket pitch during their era. ofcourse bradman is a good payer with 99.4 runs batting average in test cricket. but my vote is for sachin tendulkar. its because in old days there is no technlogies and computer etc...so it is very dificult to track a batsmans weakpoints for a bowler or opposition coach. but now laptops and all are available which helps to study about every opponents. sachin is batsman of this era...the era with modern technlogies and all...so his record is better than bradman..according to me...

i accept both of them are great players of their era but it is not fair to compare them both..bradman had excelled even when there were not many facilities for him.. so let us not compare them both

I dont think there is any comparison in bet these players as Bradman has never played any one days and his generation was different

Yes I think you can. Bradman had a great admiration for the way Tendulkar played cricket. There is only a few great cricketers worth drawing comparisons to the great man, and in a game we all love to speculate on... why not.

well it is never right on the part of cricketers or commentators or the media or anyone else to compare two cricketers who are a legend for different genre...Both have there own style and charm.Infact each and every player is great in himself and has won thousand battles to get into team and to perform well. Sachin is a classic player as was Sir don bradman...but there is no point of comparing them on what they do for there team.Sachin is doing his best and so did Sir don bradman......

sachin is the best considering the kind of bowling attack and the media peressure.
