Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest, Don Bradman Highly Overrated

Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest EverObviously, Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest Cricketer of All Time according to the facts with Validated Points and Genuine Reasons after a hard lot of Research and Facts, clearly proving that Sachin Tendulkar is a class part and miles ahead of Don Bradman -


1. Most of Professionals Can hit more than 6 sixes in one game (Yuvraj Did It Against against Stuart Broad of England in T20 World Cup 2007) where as it took Bradman a 20 years long career to do so.
It show he wasn't quite capable of hitting the big ones outta the park and was not even close be called an entertainer whereas Sachin has hitten 6 Sixes to Complete his hundred in Six Tests.

2. Bradman played 52 international matches in his 20 years long International career (avg. of 2.3 matches per year) so it was easy to maintain such high average whereas Sachin has packed schedule of over 21 years by playing in 30 matches per year with the passion for doing something phenomenal to make India proud and that's what actually he had done so far in his 630+ International Career Matches including 453 ODIs and 177 Tests.

3. Test Cricket was the only form of cricket existed during the era of Don Bradman but also the only suited format for him as per his Strike Rate of 29.7 shows it all and whereas Sachin Tendulkar adjusted Himself for every format such as T20 (as we saw in IPL 2010), ODIs,Test Cricket and has a much better strike and of around 55+ in Tests, 86+ in ODIs and has a nice average of 38+ in Twenty20 (IPL) but he decided to retire too early from International T20s so it does not affect his natural game but he still cops well within every format of the game.

4. Don Bradman played in the Semi-Professional Era of cricket while there were no such good bowlers as Kumble, Warne, Mcgrath, Brett Lee, Lilllee, Wasim Akram, Malcolm Marshall and Murali (who is unarguably the greatest bowler of all time) whereas Sachin not only faced quality bowlers but also dominated them all through out the 20 years of his career.

5.Bradman scored most of his runs (75%) against the ordinary bowling attack of England and he got used to it there was no real pace, the ball used at that time was not too hard as we have these days and there was no swing (let alone reverse swing), flipper, doosra, teesra, googly, slower, carrom ball, slider bouncer or even perfect yorker was not even known.

6. There was no technology to analyze the weakness of a batsman during the Bradman's era but in today's cricket there is technology to analyze weaknesses under slow-motion, batting style etc.

7. Sachin would even have may came close to the average of even 75+ in Test Cricket and even 65+ in ODIs if he wasn't a victim of such dubious umpiring in his whole career and then he would have easily have made 125 centuries and the landmark of 40K Runs.

8. Dead Pitches are actually easy to bat on ,wonder watching the Bradman's Video with deliveries not even bouncing till the Waist height at such slow speed with no grace and so Bradman has ample of time to play the stroke at those so called uncovered pitches.
Clearly He Wouldn't Had Play Little More Bouncing Balls (than usual of his time) that Well.

9. Cricket Legends and Expertise too have Accepted Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest Batsman of All Time Without a Doubt.

10. As For Bradman, Without Helmet and Modern Equipments such as helmet and It was much easier to play your stroke for that Batsman so Sachin beats him having such unique but heavy modern protection gears where it is not a comfort zone.
As BCC Stated, "Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure."

Ricky Ponting Uses 'Illegal' Graphite Bat and So Does Australian Team

Ricky Ponting (Punter) - Illegal Graphite Bat CheatCricket lawmakers the MCC have ruled that the bat used by Australia's Ricky Ponting, and other cricketers sponsored by maker Kookaburra, is illegal.
The bat has been withdrawn with immediate effect and will not be used in upcoming international matches.
The bat attracted interest because the length of the blade was supported by a backing strip of graphite.
The MCC stated: "Following a thorough review, MCC has concluded that these bats do not comply with law six."


Law 6.2 says covering matering should "not be likely to cause unacceptable damage to the ball".
Kookaburra Readers managing director Brett Elliot said the company disagreed with the decision as they believed the carbon fibre cover was designed to be within the laws of the game.
He added that more than 60% of cricket bats currently on the market have a cover similar to the Kookaburra graphite cover, but said the company would abide by the MCC's decision.

"Kookaburra is extremely disappointed by the MCC's opinion and strongly disagree that our graphite covered cricket bats do not comply with law six of the laws of cricket," said Elliot.
"Kookaburra has a proud history of manufacturing cricket equipment since 1890 and this is the first instance that a Kookaburra bat has been drawn into question.

"However, Kookaburra fully respects both the laws of cricket and the spirit of cricket and has therefore reached agreement with the International Cricket Council to voluntarily withdraw the bats from international cricket."

Kookaburra will immediately supply Ponting with a replacement bat for the tour of South Africa.
Australian batsmen Justin Langer and Damien Martyn and Sri Lanka international Sanath Jayasuriya are among the other players sponsored by the company.

Shane Warne Took Perfomance Inhancing Drugs In His "Prime" Form

Shane Warne is a Drug AddictOne of The Greatest Spin Bowler who was banned for taking illegal drugs in World Cup 2003 has been occasionally found guilty of taking performance enhancing drugs to improve his cricket and it's a big shame ICC let him go only with a 1 year ban.
Moreover, One should admit the fact that he was good turner of the ball but was actually found guilty of taking some earlier tablet too to mask performance enhancing drugs.
He is now in 40s and so his high fitness level for IPL also suggest that he is still upto the business he was, is and always would be.

World Cup 2003 Ban for a Year

► It wasn't the first time:
Earlier Tablet Warnie took to Mask Performance Enhancing Drugs

Shaun Tait, Brett Lee, Mitchell JohnsonSo Called Aussies who falsely claimed allegations many great bowlers like Murali and Harbhajan in dismay of chucking have actually been found guilty of it themselves, proving more about their character and dignity that is never questioned by ICC but must be before it's too late and moreover a life ban would be fair enough unless they have a legal bowling action.
