Answer 2

WHY SACHIN IS BETTER THAN BRADMAN

1.Pressure

Tendulkar played under huge pressure.1 billion people expecting you to perform in each and every match. To perform consistently well for 17 years as per expectation is just Brilliant!!! Bradman never had such pressure in his whole career apart from bodyline and in his last innings against England.And just look what pressure can do.His average which usually over 100 in maxium series came down to just 52 in bodyline.When the whole world was watching him to score just 4 runs in his last innings he couldn't even score 4 runs..??? This is what pressure is all about..And Tendulkar goes through such pressure in each every match.Even matches like against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe..With one failure public media everyone in India start criticising the Greats of Indian cricket... Still he is performing consistently..Isn't this amazing.

2.Number of Matches

Bradman played 52 tests in 20 years whereas Sachin played 132 test in 17 yearsIn Bradman's time not many matches played.Players easily got 7-8 days of gap in between 2 tests of a series.In one year only 4-5 tests played...There were no ONEDAYS.Nowdays there are too much of ODI's.Once a series starts..you won't get any chance for rest..5 ODI completes in 12-13days and as soon as ODI series over Test series starts..in between test only 3 days of gap..No rest for players..And they have to play each test. and ODI. In Bradman's times you could get 7-8 days for rest... and total numbers of matches 4-5..and look at today's cricket.. Atleast 10 Test and 30 ODI each year..and in ODI's u can't play cricket wid peace at all..After every ball u have to look to the score board..have to accelerate anytime in the innings many times from the begining...Pressure wid no rest!!

3.Position of Batting

Bradman usually came at no.3 or no.4 and mostly when the score were 176 for 1 or 217 for 2..No pressure!! Just play the natural game and dominate the bowling.Sachin usually came at no.4 and ..Mostly when India lost both the openers.and the scoreboard looks like 20-2!!! And then this best batsman of all time rescue the team.In OneDay Sachin opens and start blazing guns from the begining and then steady in middle overs and again all guns blazing in last 10 overs!!

4.Opposition

Bradman played mostly against England and he got used to that bowling thats why scored over 5000 runs wid an average of around 92.One series against each minnows[India,SouthAfrica and WestIndies were new in cricket that time] and scored heavily against them.Never played in Indian Sub-Continent against Indian spinners.Playing at Indian pitches is never been easy for any batsman.Nowdays Australian thinks Ricky Ponting is the best batsman after Bradman from Australia.Look his record in India, just 14!! Sachin's average in Australia is above 54.Ponting's average in England is just 42 and Sachin's average in England is above 70..well Ricky Ponting is another issue. A batsman is perfect when he scores against really class bowlings.Excluding Larwood Bradman never played any quality bowlers.Whereas Sachin played against Ambrose-Walsh-Bishop,Wasim-Waqar-Akhtar,... and many more.Played not well on own wicket but also played well at all pitches all over the worlds.Just see the class of fielding nowdays,Rhodes,Ponting,Gibbs..The standard of fielding is far more better than it was in that time!!!

5. Conclusion

can't accept Bradman as the all time best batsman just because his stunning average of 99.94. Cricket is not game of only averages..There are many other things should be consider like the standard of playing cricket.Nowdays so much of technology used so that you can take out weak areas of a particular player.The standard of fielding is just too gud.The Media hype and pressure is so much.Lots of cricket played..scoring on every part of the world.Sachin not only play role in batting but also in many other areas like Sachin can spin the bowl like Shane Warne Sachin never affraid of taking responsibilties.Tendulkar took the ball from Azhar and Kapil in Hero Cup Semifinal and bow

Answer 3

sachin faced wasim, mcrath, warne, murali etc etc etc but bradman does not faced any of these hehehhe simple

Answer 4

Bradman didnt have Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhter bowling beamers at him.  

Answer 5

bradman is the most overrated cricketer ever

The Don scored most of his runs against bumbling, clumsy, inept, limited, unfit, sometimes ageing upper class twits with speed on a par with today's club cricketers. There was no Marshall, Ambrose or Walsh. There was no Hadlee, McGrath or Lillee. There was no Akram or Waqar and there certainly was no Warne or Muralitharan to face so how can you measure his runs reasonably? You cannot!

Look at Graeme 'flat pitch bully' Hick's record in county cricket compared to Test cricket and you will understand what I mean.

Watching videos of The Don I was struck by the amount of runs scored by the horizontal bat and i noted that he never never truly mastered batting on sticky wickets.

if there really is a blemish on his amazing record it is the absence of a significant innings on one of those 'sticky dogs' of old

i rate tendulkar far batter then him

Answer 6

coz i feel tht when bradmon played at tht time there was not enough competition and now u see every bowler or batsmen r top performers and in such a time when so many dangerous bowlers exict and play, playing against them sachin has scored what he has... so  i guess for this hes the greatest.

wat u say?

Answer 7

It is unfair to judge two great batsmen of entirely different era.  Both of them have benefits and disadvantages of being batsmen of different times.  FOr example, fielding standard was not so high in the time of Bradman but then there were no safety equipment for batsmen and vice versa in the case of Sachin.

Answer 8

because sachin tendulkar is a great player in india     & and i like india

Answer 9

Sachin played against more than one team, Sachin played more games, Bowlers now are much faster than before. Sachin has more pressure on him to score. There are many other reasons.

Answer 10

i dont want to compare them.

they are champions in their era

Answer 11

Who Said that Sachin Tendulkar is Better Then Don Bradman ?

Not Agree with this

Answer 12

Sachin is d best not even a single doubt for this.

Playing for such long time with such a consistency is not joke.

I dont know any player who survive for such a long time in international arena with such a grt consisency. Hats off

Answer 13

I have never seen Don Bradman play....so I cen't evaluate...........

sorry :)

Answer 14

those days when bradman played no third umpire,tv replay, no hawk eye,no snickometer ,hotspot,but inspite of all these new technologies sachin has proved that he is the best .....

Answer 15

Only anyone who is a complete and utter idiot would believe that.

Bradman was at least 40% better than any other player in the history of the game. You can spin claptrap all you like, Bradman is so superior and far beyond any other player, ever, that he is beyond comparison.

All the players throughout the world who actually play the game in some sort of organised fashion (not just on dirt with a little stick a rock as a ball that is not real cricket) and recognise that Bradman was the best by a long way.  

Answer 16

Which stupid think like this.
