Both are genius batsman of their time. There is nothing to compare or differentiate, as both played in different conditions.

With Best Wishes

It is nonsense to compare Bradman with Sachin. It is like comparing an apple to an onion because both are round and because both are red. There is no doubt that Bradman is head and shoulders above Sachin Tendulkar in any way you want to compare. In Bradman's times, they played on uncovered pitches whereas these days, the pitches are protected. Bradman did not wear a helmet but Sachin did.

Some of the comparisons are given below:

Runs per Match: Bradman 135 Sachin 81
Runs per Innings: Bradman 100 Sachin 56
% of runs scored in the series played: Bradman 12.7 Sachin 7.9
Performance against weak teams:
Matches played against Bangladesh: Bradman 0 Sachin 5
Matches played against Zimbabwe: Bradman 0 Sachin 9

Triple centuries: Bradman 2 (and one 299 not out) Sachin 0.

Automated Computerised Batting Rating:
Bradman 1000 Sachin 598.

Now you know the answer. While Bradman is the all-time greatest test match player of the world, Sachin is not even the India's best because three other players (Gavaskar, Hazare and Dravid) are better than Tendulkar in the way they dominated the opposition attack. The batsmen who are better than Sachin are (IMO): Bradman, George Headley, Jack Hobbs, M E K Hussey, Brian Lara, Sangakkara, Len Hutton, R G Pollock, Wally Hammond, Francis Jackson, Peter May, Everton Weekes, Herbert Sutcliffe, Ken Barrington, Arthur Nourse, Andrew Flower, Mohammad Yousuf, Greg Chappell, Sunil Gavaskar, Neil Harvey, Jacques Kallis, Ricky Ponting, Kevin Pietersen, Arthur Shrewsbury, Javed Miandad, Mahela Jayawardene, D J McGlew, Gary Sobers, Vijay Hazare, Denis Compton, Bruce Mitchell, Geoff Boycott, Herbert Taylor and Rahul Dravid.

Sorry for being so frank but I give credit where due. How many times did Sachin save India from the brink ? You got to think.

His 3 best performances till date are against Bangladesh (2004-05, 2 tests, 2 innings, 1 not out, 284 runs), Bangladesh (2006-2007, 2 tests, 3 innings, 1 not out, 254 runs) and New Zealand (1999-2000, 3 tests, 6 innings, 2 not out, 435 runs). Bradman's 3 best are against South Africa (1931-32, 5 matches, 5 innings, 1 not out, 806 runs), India (1947-48, 5 matches, 6 innings, 2 not out, 715 runs) and England (1930, 5 matches, 7 innings, 974 runs).

Yes, Sachin made more money than Bradman while playing Cricket. Sachin is more lucky than Bradman because every time he scores a fifty or a century especially on a dead pitch, the press sings all praises.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Kumar Srivastava

Sorry Mr.Amit Kumar Srivastava, I wouldn't accept your thought about Sachin Vs Bradman. I have very much upset on your opinion. Ofcourse it's on your opinion. I can agree that Bradman is a very good batsman in the world on his day's of time. He performed very well on that time. Let I pointed out some of the points which are all for your attention : -

1.Umpire Decision
Bradman Day's - Lack of Third Umpire
Sachin Day's - Availablity of Third Umpire
Attn : 99% of Umpire Decision is good.

2.Ball Delivery Speed:
Bradman Day's - Moderate
Sachin Day's - Very Fast
Attn : Very difficult to Bat on it.

3.Rules and Regulations:
Bradman Day's - Less
Sachin Day's - More
Attn : Very difficult to bowl (eg:-Free hit)

Here just i have noted some of the critical points. See we can't compare with Bradman's day cricket and Sachin day's cricket. I do not know bradman batting style and his abilities what he posses. Ofcourse you are also do not know about him. But I know sachin 100%. Do not forget every Indian his 20 years batting carrer. We will never see any player like Sachin Tendulkar in future. No one can break his unbeatable records. Kindly I request you that do not compare sachin with bradman. Because playing conditions are entirely different. Both are legendary players. Bradman was a reall hero in his day's. Sachin Tendulkar is a reall hero in his day's. We can not compare them. Every indian should be very proud of him. Sachin really a Little Master Blaster. Don't forget sachin got praises from Don Bradman. Every one will get answer about Sachin Tendulkar by Time. Don't mistake me. I really thanks for providing me an wounder opportunity to share my thoughts regarding Littelt Master Sachin Tendulkar.

Mr Solairajan
If u r really upset with my opinion then what can i do???
i can understand your imotion..actually in INDIA it can happen that person can compare players with god and if u want to see bradman cricket's video u can purchase it and see....and regarding your points...

1.Umpire decision...
how u can say that Bradman did'nt get any false decision ??

2.Ball Delivery Speed...
U should know that in Bradman's time so many fast bowlers was there..and Bradman played without helmet.

3.Rules and Regulations...
No doubt rules are more this time but it is tough only for bowlers not for batsman...Sachin and Bradman both are batsman.
free hit is totally related to bowlers because he can take wicket only as Run Out.

And if u really want to check sachin's cricket then check record of..

Sachin Againest Austrailya (When Mcgrath was in team)
Sachin Againest Austrailya (When Mcgrath was not in the team)
i think u will know the answer..

And u know Bradman did'nt play at the time of Two World's war also otherwise this topic never comes...

Mr.Amit Kumar Srivastava,
Again I remind you. Both the Players are genius on their

generation.You cann't compare them. Because playing conditions

are different,Gaming rules different,Grounds are different,

technologies are different. If you want to compare sachin with

anyone, then you can compare with him to brain lara, ganguly

etc.These are all his generation people.You have said bradman not

weared helmet.why did u taken this points. On that time really

not neccessary to wear helmet to bat on. But in this generation

of cricket, if you not wearing helmet while facing fastest bowler

like soab akthar and brett lee, your head will be bounced in to

boundary. Could you imagine it. Please leave that point. Ok let

we imagine it,did you think sachin cann't able to bat without

wearing helmet. He can also able to bat without wearing helmet.

Helmet is a safety for the players. Because some times

uncalculated bounce might occur. You said, you have seen bradman

videos,but still you are not findout answers for this quetions.

Anyway you got full freedonm to say your opinion, but don't hurt

such a wonderful legenday player like Sachin. He played for India

for more than 20 years. Still he has to go for 3 to 4 years. He

dedicated his life to cricket. So, every indian should proud of

him. Please don't be hurt him. He is not only a good cricketer

but also good human being. Still you are not understood what i

have said, then i wouldn't respond your opinion here after.

Sachin bat will answser you. If you want more, kindly i advice

you hear what cricket expert saying about these two legendary

players on the internet. Ok.bye. Anyway thanks for your healthy

debate. Again I am saying "BOTH PLAYERS ARE GENIUS ON THIER

GENERARION".

Batting
Main articles: batsman and batting (cricket)


W. G. Grace "taking guard" in 1883. His pads and bat look very similar to those used today. The gloves have evolved somewhat. Many modern players utilise more defensive equipment than was available to Grace, notably helmets and arm guards.
At any one time, there are two batsmen in the playing area. One takes station at the striker's end to defend the wicket as above and to score runs if possible. His partner, the non-striker, is at the end where the bowler is operating.
Batsmen come in to bat in a batting order, decided by the team captain. The first two batsmen – the "openers" – usually face the most hostile bowling, from fresh fast bowlers with a new ball. The top batting positions are usually given to the most competent batsmen in the team, and the non-batsmen typically bat last. The pre-announced batting order is not mandatory and when a wicket falls any player who has not yet batted may be sent in next.
If a batsman "retires" (usually due to injury) and cannot return, he is actually "not out" and his retirement does not count as a dismissal, though in effect he has been dismissed because his innings is over. Substitute batsmen are not allowed.
A skilled batsman can use a wide array of "shots" or "strokes" in both defensive and attacking mode. The idea is to hit the ball to best effect with the flat surface of the bat's blade. If the ball touches the side of the bat it is called an "edge". Batsmen do not always seek to hit the ball as hard as possible, and a good player can score runs just by making a deft stroke with a turn of the wrists or by simply "blocking" the ball but directing it away from fielders so that he has time to take a run.
There is a wide variety of shots played in cricket. The batsman's repertoire includes strokes named according to the style of swing and the direction aimed: e.g., "cut", "drive", "hook", "pull".
Note that a batsman does not have to play a shot and can "leave" the ball to go through to the wicketkeeper, providing he thinks it will not hit his wicket. Equally, he does not have to attempt a run when he hits the ball with his bat. He can deliberately use his leg to block the ball and thereby "pad it away" but this is risky because of the lbw rule.
In the event of an injured batsman being fit to bat but not to run, the umpires and the fielding captain may allow another member of the batting side to be a runner. If possible, the runner must already have batted. The runner's only task is to run between the wickets instead of the injured batsman. The runner is required to wear and carry exactly the same equipment as the incapacitated batsman. It is possible for both batsmen to have runners.
[edit]Runs


The directions in which a right-handed batsman intends to send the ball when playing various cricketing shots. The diagram for a left-handed batsman is a mirror image of this one.
The primary concern of the batsman on strike (i.e., the "striker") is to prevent the ball hitting the wicket and secondarily to score runs by hitting the ball with his bat so that he and his partner have time to run from one end of the pitch to the other before the fielding side can return the ball. To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the crease with either their bats or their bodies (the batsmen carry their bats as they run). Each completed run increments the score.
More than one run can be scored from a single hit but, while hits worth one to three runs are common, the size of the field is such that it is usually difficult to run four or more. To compensate for this, hits that reach the boundary of the field are automatically awarded four runs if the ball touches the ground en route to the boundary or six runs if the ball clears the boundary on the full. The batsmen do not need to run if the ball reaches or crosses the boundary.
Hits for five are unusual and generally rely on the help of "overthrows" by a fielder returning the ball. If an odd number of runs is scored by the striker, the two batsmen have changed ends and the one who was non-striker is now the striker. Only the striker can score individual runs but all runs are added to the team's total.
The decision to attempt a run is ideally made by the batsman, who has the better view of the ball's progress, and this is communicated by calling: "yes", "no" and "wait" are often heard.
Running is a calculated risk because if a fielder breaks the wicket with the ball while the nearest batsman is out of his ground (i.e., he does not have part of his body or bat in contact with the ground behind the popping crease), the batsman is run out.
A team's score is reported in terms of the number of runs scored and the number of batsmen that have been dismissed. For example, if five batsmen are out and the team has scored 224 runs, they are said to have scored 224 for the loss of 5 wickets (commonly shortened to "224 for five" and written 224/5 or, in Australia, "five for 224" and 5/224).

Extras
Additional runs can be gained by the batting team as extras (called "sundries" in Australia) due to errors made by the fielding side. This is achieved in four ways:
No ball – a penalty of one extra that is conceded by the bowler if he breaks the rules of bowling either by (a) using an inappropriate arm action; (b) overstepping the popping crease; (c) having a foot outside the return crease. In addition, the bowler has to re-bowl the ball.
Wide – a penalty of one extra that is conceded by the bowler if he bowls so that the ball is out of the batsman's reach; as with a no ball, a wide must be re-bowled
Bye – extra(s) awarded if the batsman misses the ball and it goes past the wicketkeeper to give the batsmen time to run in the conventional way (note that the mark of a good wicketkeeper is one who restricts the tally of byes to a minimum)
Leg bye – extra(s) awarded if the ball hits the batsman's body, but not his bat, and it goes away from the fielders to give the batsmen time to run in the conventional way.
When the bowler has bowled a no ball or a wide, his team incurs an additional penalty because that ball (i.e., delivery) has to be bowled again and hence the batting side has the opportunity to score more runs from this extra ball. The batsmen have to run (i.e., unless the ball goes to the boundary for four) to claim byes and leg byes but these only count towards the team total, not to the striker's individual total for which runs must be scored off the bat.
[edit]Dismissals
Main article: Dismissal (cricket)


Wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India successfully stumps a South African batsman out during a match played in Chennai in 2008.
There are ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed and some are so unusual that only a few instances of them exist in the whole history of the game. The most common forms of dismissal are "bowled", "caught", "leg before wicket" (lbw), "run out", "stumped" and "hit wicket". The unusual methods are "hit the ball twice", "obstructed the field", "handled the ball" and "timed out".
Before the umpire will award a dismissal and declare the batsman to be out, a member of the fielding side (generally the bowler) must "appeal". This is invariably done by asking (or shouting) the term "Howzat?" which means, simply enough, "How is that?" If the umpire agrees with the appeal, he will raise a forefinger and say "Out!". Otherwise he will shake his head and say "Not out". Appeals are particularly loud when the circumstances of the claimed dismissal are unclear, as is always the case with lbw and often with run outs and stumpings.
Bowled – the bowler has hit the wicket with the ball and the wicket has "broken" with at least one bail being dislodged (note that if the ball hits the wicket without dislodging a bail it is not out) [12]
Caught – the batsman has hit the ball with his bat or with his hand and the ball has been caught on the full by a member of the fielding side [13]
Leg before wicket (lbw) – is complex but basically means that the batsman would have been bowled if the ball had not hit his leg first[14]
Run out – a member of the fielding side has broken or "put down" the wicket with the ball while a batsman was out of his ground; this usually occurs by means of an accurate throw to the wicket while the batsmen are attempting a run[15]
Stumped – is similar except that it is done by the wicketkeeper after the batsman has missed the bowled ball and has stepped out of his ground, and is not attempting a run.[16]
Hit wicket – a batsman is out hit wicket, if he dislodges one or both bails with his bat, person, clothing or equipment in the act of hitting the ball, or when setting off for a run[17]
Hit the ball twice – is very unusual and was introduced as a safety measure to counter dangerous play and protect the fielders. The batsman may legally play the ball a second time only to stop the ball hitting the wicket after he has already played it[18]
Obstructed the field – another unusual dismissal which tends to involve a batsman deliberately getting in the way of a fielder[19]
Handled the ball – a batsman must not deliberately use his hand to protect his wicket (note that the bowled ball often hits the batsman's hand but this is not intentional by the batsman and so is not out; though he can of course be caught off his hand)[20]
Timed out – usually means that the next batsman did not arrive at the wicket within three minutes of the previous one being dismissed[21]
In the vast majority of cases, it is the striker who is out when a dismissal occurs. If the non-striker is dismissed it is usually by being run out, but he could also be dismissed for obstructing the field, handling the ball or being timed out.
A batsman may leave the field without being dismissed. If injured or taken ill the batsman may temporarily retire, and be replaced by the next batsman. This is recorded as retired hurt or retired ill. The retiring batsman is not out, and may resume the innings later. An unimpaired batsman may retire, and this is treated as being dismissed retired out; no player is credited with the dismissal. Batsmen cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped or hit wicket off a no ball. They cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, or hit the ball twice off a wide. Some of these modes of dismissal can occur without the bowler bowling a delivery. The batsman who is not on strike may be run out by the bowler if he leaves his crease before the bowler bowls, and a batsman can be out obstructing the field or retired out at any time. Timed out is, by its nature, a dismissal without a delivery. With all other modes of dismissal, only one batsman can be dismissed per ball bowled.

Innings closed
Main article: End of an innings (cricket)
An innings is closed when:
Ten of the eleven batsmen are out (have been dismissed); in this case, the team is said to be "all out"
The team has only one batsman left who can bat, one or more of the remaining players being unavailable owing to injury, illness or absence; again, the team is said to be "all out"
The team batting last reaches the score required to win the match
The predetermined number of overs has been bowled (in a one-day match only, most commonly 50 overs; or 20 in Twenty20)
A captain declares his team's innings closed while at least two of his batsmen are not out (this does not apply in one-day limited over matches)
[edit]Results
Main article: The result in cricket
If the team that bats last is all out having scored fewer runs than their opponents, the team is said to have "lost by n runs" (where n is the difference between the number of runs scored by the teams). If the team that bats last scores enough runs to win, it is said to have "won by n wickets", where n is the number of wickets left to fall. For instance a team that passes its opponents' score having only lost six wickets would have won "by four wickets".
In a two-innings-a-side match, one team's combined first and second innings total may be less than the other side's first innings total. The team with the greater score is then said to have won by an innings and n runs, and does not need to bat again: n is the difference between the two teams' aggregate scores.
If the team batting last is all out, and both sides have scored the same number of runs, then the match is a tie; this result is quite rare in matches of two innings a side. In the traditional form of the game, if the time allotted for the match expires before either side can win, then the game is declared a draw.
If the match has only a single innings per side, then a maximum number of deliveries for each innings is often imposed. Such a match is called a "limited overs" or "one-day" match, and the side scoring more runs wins regardless of the number of wickets lost, so that a draw cannot occur. If this kind of match is temporarily interrupted by bad weather, then a complex mathematical formula, known as the Duckworth-Lewis method after its developers, is often used to recalculate a new target score. A one-day match can also be declared a "no-result" if fewer than a previously agreed number of overs have been bowled by either team, in circumstances that make normal resumption of play impossible; for example, wet weather.

Weather

Cricket is a sport played predominantly in the dryer periods of the year. But, even so, the weather plays a major factor in all cricket matches.
A scheduled game of cricket cannot be played in wet-weather conditions. Wet weather affects the bounce of the ball on the wicket and is a risk to all players involved in the game. Many grounds have facilities to cover the cricket pitch (or the wicket). Covers can be in the form of sheets being laid over the wicket to elevated covers on wheels (using the same concept as an umbrella) to even hover covers which form an airtight seal around the wicket. However, most grounds do not have the facilities to cover the outfield. This means that in the event of heavy bouts of inclement weathers, games may be cancelled, abandoned or suspended due to an unsafe outfield.
Another factor in cricket is the amount of light available. At grounds without floodlights (or in game formats which disallow the use of floodlights), umpires can stop play in the event of bad light as it becomes too difficult for the batsmen to be able to see the ball coming at them (and in extreme cases, members of the fielding team).
On the other hand, in instances of good light, batsmen can utilize sight-screens which enable batsmen to have a white background against which they can pick out the red ball with greater ease.
The umpires always have the final decision on weather related issues.
[edit]Types of matches

Cricket is a multi-faceted sport which, in very broad terms, can be divided into major cricket and minor cricket based on playing standards. A more pertinent division, particularly in terms of major cricket, is between matches in which the teams have two innings apiece and those in which they have a single innings each. The former, known as first-class cricket, has a duration of three to five days (there have been examples of "timeless" matches too); the latter, known as limited overs cricket because each team bowls a limit of typically 50 overs, has a planned duration of one day only (a match can be extended if necessary due to bad weather, etc.).
Typically, two-innings matches have at least six hours of playing time each day. Limited overs matches often last six hours or more. There are usually formal intervals on each day for lunch and tea with brief informal breaks for drinks. There is also a short interval between innings. Historically, a form of cricket known as single wicket has been extremely successful and many of these contests in the 18th and 19th centuries qualify as major cricket matches. In this form, although each team may have from one to six players, there is only one batsman at a time and he must face every delivery bowled while his innings lasts. Single wicket has rarely been played since limited overs cricket began.

Test cricket


A Test match between South Africa and England in January 2005. The men wearing black trousers are the umpires. Teams in Test cricket, first-class cricket and club cricket wear traditional white uniforms and use red cricket balls.
Test cricket is the highest standard of first-class cricket. A Test match is an international fixture between teams representing those countries that are Full Members of the ICC.
Although the term "Test match" was not coined until much later, Test cricket is deemed to have begun with two matches between Australia and England in the 1876-77 Australian season. Subsequently, eight other national teams have achieved Test status: South Africa (1889), West Indies (1928), New Zealand (1929), India (1932), Pakistan (1952), Sri Lanka (1982), Zimbabwe (1992) and Bangladesh (2000). Zimbabwe subsequently suspended its Test status in 2006 due to its inability to compete against other Test teams and has yet to resume playing Test cricket.[22]
Welsh players are eligible to play for England, which is in effect an England and Wales team. The West Indies team comprises players from numerous states in the Caribbean, most notably Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands.
Test matches between two teams are usually played in a group of matches called a "series". Matches last up to five days and a series normally consists of three to five matches. Test matches that are not finished within the allotted time are drawn.
Since 1882, most Test series between England and Australia have been played for a trophy known as The Ashes. Some other series have individual trophies too: for example, the Wisden Trophy is contested by England and West Indies; the Frank Worrell Trophy by Australia and West Indies.
[edit]Limited overs


An ODI match between India and Australia in January 2004. The men wearing black trousers are the umpires. Teams in limited overs games, such as ODIs and T20s, wear multi-colored uniforms and use white cricket balls.
Standard limited overs cricket was introduced in England in the 1963 season in the form of a knockout cup contested by the first-class county clubs. In 1969, a national league competition was established. The concept was gradually introduced to the other major cricket countries and the first limited overs international was played in 1971. In 1975, the first Cricket World Cup took place in England. Limited overs cricket has seen various innovations including the use of multi-coloured kit and floodlit matches using a white ball.
A "one day match", named so because each match is scheduled for completion in a single day, is the most common form of limited overs cricket played on an international level. In practice, matches sometimes continue on a second day if they have been interrupted or postponed by bad weather. The main objective of a limited overs match is to produce a definite result and so a conventional draw is not possible, but matches can be undecided if the scores are tied or if bad weather prevents a result. Each team plays one innings only and faces a limited number of overs, usually a maximum of 50. The Cricket World Cup is held in one day format and the last World Cup in 2007 was won by Australia. The next World Cup will hosted by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in 2011.
Twenty20 is a new variant of limited overs itself with the purpose being to complete the match within about three hours, usually in an evening session. The original idea, when the concept was introduced in England in 2003, was to provide workers with an evening entertainment. It has been commercially successful and has been adopted internationally. The inaugural Twenty20 World Championship was held in 2007 and was won by India. The next Twenty20 World Championship is to be held in England in 2009.

This comparison between the little master and the legend was not that much questionable because every one knows that it is the Little master who takes up the throne way ahead of others. During the olden days people did not have enough practice and the competition was less that it is easy to hit so much runs. But as the time goes, competition became tougher and tougher and it was very difficult for anyone to survive in their particular field in which they consider that they are the experts. But Sachin proved himself that he cannot be defeated on any grounds at any time. That makes him the ultimate Cricketer in the History of world class Cricket.

As for as I am concerned, Both of them are best. You can not compare both Sachin and Broadman. They are genius.

Sir Don Bradman (AUS) - Sir Don Bradman is a name which represents the passion and art of cricket. This Australian legendary master cricketer is undoubtedly the best in the history of cricket. He could take cricket to such a height where Bradman is set as a king ruling others in the cricket world. He symbolizes a model of a batsman in the cricketing point of view. It is worthless to add an adjective before his name as every attempt will be in veil. With an enormous average of 99.94 in test cricket he could score 6996 and if he could score just 4 runs in his last international innings his total runs would be 7000 and most importantly his average would be 100! However, he has been dismissed without scoring a single run in that innings which is one of the greatest and most talked issue in the world cricket. He has the then record of 29 centuries and he used to carry out those hundreds to a larger figure frequently. He could score a century in every three innings at an average. His is the first and one of the second batsmen who has two triple centuries. Sir Don is one of the five Cricketers of the Century according to Wisden.

Sachin tendulkar is master blaster of todays cricket. Sir bradman was master blaster of past days. Both are heros in cricket world in there own era. So that they are great in there own place.
In cricket world every body has to go through badpatch. I think sachin goes largely through his badpatch as compare to sir bradman. But always sachin comes back through his bad patch and shows his scenario of good batting. So that both the greater are great in their own place.

Hi all,
Take a look at this. Cricket Geniuses view on Sachin.

Steve Waugh:
"You take Don Bradman away and he (Sachin) is next up, I reckon."

Brian Lara:
"Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal. I would like to be a lot more consistent. I would like to be a (Sachin) Tendulkar, or someone like that, someone who could go out in the middle and keep scoring; if he doesn't get a hundred, he gets at least 30 or 40, and scores like that. You know, it would be great to be that sort of individual.
But, looking at it, I am also happy to be the player that I am. The big scores that I get, scoring 500 runs in one innings, or 375 runs in another innings, is something special too. I have got to be able to take the good with the bad. I am quite happy with the way things are for me batting-wise. But, as a top-flight player, you want to be considered not only as someone who could spoon out great performances, but someone who has been consistent over the years. I have not been able to measure up to that yet, but hopefully, in the latter part of my career, I will be able to do that."

Marlon Samuels:
"Sachin is the best batsman in the world. The way he lifts the team and the way he bats. Watching him play helps me in my batting."
Andy Flower: "There's Sachin on one hand, and then there are the rest of us."

Wasim Akram:
"I have bowled to both Tendulkar and Lara and I have found Lara more attacking. Tendulkar has a tighter technique, no doubt, but Lara can single-handedly win the game for his team. I am not saying Tendulkar cannot do it but Lara has maybe done it more often than him. If you are asking me who the best batsman I have bowled to is, then it's not Tendulkar and not Lara as well. It's Martin Crowe... he was an amazing batsman. Regarding Tendulkar and Lara, I would love to have both in my team! Who wouldn't?"

Glenn McGrath:
"For me, it's Tendulkar. Both are class acts but I am saying this because I have had more success against Lara than I have against Tendulkar. I think I have a fair idea of what Lara likes and doesn't like and I feel I can make his life at the crease very uncomfortable. He is vulnerable outside the off-stump early on and is not as tight as Tendulkar in defense. I would go for Tendulkar as the best in the world."

Waqar Younis:
"Unfortunately, I have not bowled enough to Tendulkar in Test matches but there is no doubt about his class. I have bowled against Lara and I have had some success against him. I think over the years I would say I have been fifty-fifty against both Tendulkar and Lara. I have got them a few times and they have got runs against me as well. I can never forget a 16-year-old Tendulkar batting on after being struck on the nose by a fast bouncer from me. I think Tendulkar is mentally tougher than Lara."

Muthiah Muralitharan:
"I have played a lot of cricket against Tendulkar compared to what I have played against Lara. While both are difficult to bowl to, I think Lara plays me better than Tendulkar. That Lara is a left-hander is an advantage to him, but the great thing about him is he launches into the attack straightaway. He uses his feet well against me while Tendulkar relies more on the sweep, I feel. I find Lara tougher."

Jason Gillespie:
"In my opinion it's Tendulkar who is ahead of the two. Mentally stronger than Lara, he has a better technique as well. Tendulkar doesn't get worked up like Lara when the opposition has a few words to say to him. Lara on his day can be destructive, but you have to look at consistency and I think Tendulkar is definitely more consistent than Lara."

Saqlain Mushtaq:
"Both have their good qualities but I feel Tendulkar doesn't give as many chances as Lara does. Lara, once he settles down, can be a better player to watch because of the left-hander's grace and also because he plays more shots. He has played more match-winning innings compared to Tendulkar because he finished off the job once he is in. But Sachin is more compact and puts a heavy price on his wicket. It is more difficult to dislodge Tendulkar compared to Lara."

Barry Richards:
"Lara is a better batsman than Sachin simply because he tends to score big whenever he plays against teams like Australia and South Africa and the stats actually support it. Lara has scored three 200's against the Aussies 2 of which have come in Australia and apart from that he has a test record of 375 as well whereas Sachin has a couple of 200's against New Zealand and Zimbabwe and that too in India."
Sir Vivian Richards :
"Players like Sachin deserve to be preserved in cotton wool. I first saw him when he was touring England. I saw two of his innings. When you start hitting respectable fast bowlers for sixes over their heads then you are serving notice."
Geoffrey Boycott
(For Sachin)
:"Form is Temporary but the Class is Permanent"
Sir Donald Bradman
"Sachin Style of Playing resembles my style. That Touch I use to feel when I batted".
Great Sunil Gavaskar
"Sachin Tendulkar is better than Sir Donald Bradman"
Andrew Flintoff
"Sachin Tendulkar is a better batsman than brian Lara"
Ricky Ponting
"If I would like to have three men in my team from the oppostion squad they would be Andrew Flintoff, Murali and SACHIN TENDULKAR"

Both of them are geniuses in their own right and it would be hard to compare the two.Bradman played in the pre-modern era where helmets were unavailable to the batsmen,whereas Tendulkar the modern-day great had this option available to him.However,it would have been intersting to see how Bradman would have featured in the ODI format of 50 overs.Also,Bradman featured in the Invincibles team whereas he had ample support from other great players.Before 2000,Sachin had to carry the Indian team mostly on his own and had he got a team of great players to support him right since his debut,his career average might have featured in the 70s just a notch below that of Sir Don Bradman whose career average ended at 99.96

Don Bradman was slightly a greater player since he had to play in the pre-modern era without helmets whereas Sachin had this option available to him.
However,it would have been interesting to see how Sir Don would have featured in the 50-over ODI format.

i nitin thakor

no there are so many things diffrence.

sachin is yet playing
sachin is good of cricket
sachin has baby face
sachin has world most records of bating
sachin has spirit
sahcin has world best power of circket

but, sir on Bradman (AUS) - Sir Don Bradman is a name which represents the passion and art of cricket. This Australian legendary master cricketer is undoubtedly the best in the history of cricket. He could take cricket to such a height where Bradman is set as a king ruling others in the cricket world. He symbolizes a model of a batsman in the cricketing point of view. It is worthless to add an adjective before his name as every attempt will be in veil. With an enormous average of 99.94 in test cricket he could score 6996 and if he could score just 4 runs in his last international innings his total runs would be 7000 and most importantly his average would be 100! However, he has been dismissed without scoring a single run in that innings which is one of the greatest and most talked issue in the world cricket. He has the then record of 29 centuries and he used to carry out those hundreds to a larger figure frequently. He could score a century in every three innings at an average. His is the first and one of the second batsmen who has two triple centuries. Sir Don is one of the five Cricketers of the Century according to Wisden

nowaday hi is a god of cricket....N
