Answers to:
Should Australians be ashamed of comparing Sachin Tendulkar to Overrated Don Bradman?
Obviously, Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest Cricketer of All Time according to the facts with Valid 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 -

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 619+ International Career Matches including 442 ODIs and 177 Tests.
3. Test Cricket was the only form of cricket in which cricket was existed during the era of Don Bradman only suited format for him as per his Strike Rate of 29.7 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) which hardly ever seen in this short format by any other player great player.
4. Semi-Professional Era with no such good bowlers as Kumble, Warne and Murali so no one from a genuine cricket fan would call it the one the best for Bowlers with slow pace and low bounce.
5. Bradman played on same pitches and conditions and against almost against Same Teams and Bowlers.(As He Scored 70% of his runs against England).
6. Australians were the best bowlers during the time of Don Bradman and cricket was not so popular so it was not much competition b/w England and Australia due to Mighty Australian Team of the era of Don Bradman.
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 reached 120 centuries and the landmark of 40K Runs -

We Also Have to Consider the fact that it is only since 1997 (dubious umpiring luck),it would not be that difficult to calculate his umpiring luck in his start 8 years with such innocence he was the only player to accept those dodgy decision like a true gentleman not the one like Ponting who argue and wannna change a correct decision and act up as an umpire -
You can't even Recall any Cricketer with such bad luck at umpiring, doubt if Bradman was victimized as such even 5 times?
8. Dead Pitches are said to falsely said to be impossible to bat at but to the admit the fact , 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 Great.
9. Cricket Legends and Expertise too Accepting Sachin Tendulkar is the Greatest (full marks to them for being such honest as well as Faithful).

Sachin Best of All Time, According to Brian Lara -

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.

Related Questions
Why do we Indians keep complaining that Australians don't like Sachin Tendulkar?
Sir Don Bradman:
I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel! in reference to Sachin Tendulkar.
Andrew Symonds:
wrote on an aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin. " To Sachin, the man we all want to be "
Mathew Hayden: I have seen GOD , he bats at no.4 for india in Tests.
Steve Waugh: There is no shame losing to such a great player(sachin).
Greg Chappell:He is a perfectly balanced batsman and knows perfectly well when to attack and when to play defensive cricket. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease.
Peter Roebuck:Sometime back I had written a piece that said that Sachin's the master and Lara a genius with his head high up somewhere. That's it!
Shane Warne:"Sachin Tendulkar is, in my time, the best player without doubt - daylight second, Brian Lara third." (Shane Warne delights the Indian press with his views on batting greats of this era)
Steve Waugh:"You take Don Bradman away and he is next up I reckon."
Tony Greig:He is cool, has magnificent temperament, and is so mature you tend to forget his age. I can't think of any other example of a player who has so dominated the world before the age of 25.
Ian Chappell:Whenever I see Sachin play I am reminded of the Graeme Pollock quote of Cricket being a 'see the ball, hit the ball game.' He hits the ball as if it's there to be hit.
PONTING:Ponting make comparisons btn sachin,Lara& jayasuriya.
Sachin is the best ever batsman in the world. He is brilliant in his technique. He is always hungry for runs.Sachin is better than Lara in his techniques & thats why he is No.1 among others.On his day,Lara wiil be more destructive. He is the only man 2 fight for west indies. Jayasuriya also played gr8 knocks 4 his team. But compared 2 them Sachin is the BEST
Ricky Ponting:
“Sachin is the most complete batsman I have seen. His technique is so good and he has played well in all conditions. To have 41 one-day international tons shows what an appetite he has for scoring runs.”
I think Australians have praised Sachin Tendlkar whenever possible.
What do you say?Can we say now that Australians doesn't hate Sachin . :)
Date : 2011-03-28 06:40:09Sachin and Sir Bradman. One anaylisis.(Not for raisers)?
I have analyzed the Sachin and Bradman's career. The observations are as follows-
-------------------
1. Bradman only played tests. Sachin is playing all three formats.
-------------------
2. Bradman played his mostly against the England who had a younger, beginners team. And scored a total of 7000 runs in which 5000 were against only England. Sachin Played against every team, having 30,000 runs, centuries against every team, played 21 years of cricket and still in 2010 he is ICC cricketer of the year.
-------------------
3. Bradman played 20 years but only less than 60 test matches, but Sachin is playing for 20 years but played 175 tests + 434 one-days + T20 matches. So Sachin has very busy schedule, so fitness was more challenging for Sachin in comparison to Bradman.
-------------------
4. Bradman did not face too many world class bowlers. England has only younger players who used to play as hobby. But Sachin had played against Murlidharan, Shane, McGrath, Shoib, Wasim, and currently David stain, Mendis, Bret lee etc.
-------------------
5. Tendulkar scored his maiden Test century at 17 years of age, whereas Bradman was 20 when he notched up the first milestone.
-------------------
6. Bradman played in that environment when there was only two umpires not third umpire, no cameras. But Sachin is playing in that time when there is a lot of pressure, lot of expectations, lot of cheering, lot of criticizing, lot of fast cricket, lot of good quality bowlers and where every ball is being analyzed with lot of cameras. There are lot of criticizers in the world now who can detect every single of defect of playing technique of batsman.
-------------------
But I am not saying that Sachin is greater or Bradman is Greater. But at least we can say that Sachin is "Alive Bradman" or Sachin is "Modern Bradman".
And after-all we have Bradman's comment itself. Bradman said,"I feel myself in Sachin when he plays"
Agree Friends...?
