Brian Lara calls Sachin Tendulkar the Don Bradman present times
When praising the 37 year old Sachin Tendulkar, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 legendary batsman Brian Lara said that the master blaster is the 'Don Bradman' of the modern era however he refused to the compare the icons of the two eras on Tuesday.
Lara, when speaking at length about the immense talent of the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, said that what he admires the most about Sachin is his longevity.
"I do not think there is any comparison. Both of them are great players. Sachin has proved the world what he is capable of and his longevity in the sports is something to be highly praised. The time he will spend in the game, records are going to break. The
fact that someone can be there from the age of sixteen and still at the age of thirty seven perform superbly is something that I cherish more than anything else,” he reflected.
The professional cricketer from West http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 was of the view that Don Bradman, the Australian great (who concluded his career with an incredible Test average of 99.96) and Sachin, should not be compared as they played and rose to
prominence in two entirely different eras.
"He is today’s Don Bradman. Just ignore the difference in averages between the two but whoever I have spoken to who have seen very old players in action; they say that Bradman would not have averaged ninety nine in present day
cricket. Therefore, I believe that Sachin is our period's Bradman," declared Lara.
The right handed Tendulkar is widely conidererd as one of the greatest batsmen in the world of Cricket. The Bombay born player is the highest run-scorer as well as century maker in both ODI’s as well as in the test format of the
game. Sachin is also the only male player to hit a double century in the history of ODI cricket.
When talking about his own form Lara said that he just got his rhythm back after playing three games in a Twenty20 competition in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045. The West Indian also denied all reports that he is becoming the coach of the Zimbabwean
team, but however added that he will be assisting them in the batting department.
