Sachin vs Bradman

The great Don Bradman when watching cricket match on the Television called his wife to claim that the batsman playing had something similar to his approach in sheer excitement, and the batsman was none other than the boy wonder turned genius tuned cricketing phenomenon, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. To argue on the topic of Sachin vs Bradman can throw only one result which is that both Sachin and Bradman played cricket with fervent intensity.

As while we talk about Sachin vs Bradman, Sachin, the Master Blaster happens to be highest run getter in Tests as well as in the ODIs, as he also holds the record for maximum number of test as well as one-day centuries, and Don Bradman is but a sporting idol in Australia and elsewhere, and his test cricket career spanning twenty years is a touchstone to the many upcoming cricketers. Both Sachin and Bradman being legends, and having played cricket in different eras possess many similar traits that certainly invite comparison as well as the topic of Sachin vs Bradman arises frequently in the minds of many.

Bradman with 99.4 as the test batting average played 52 test matches as his masterly stroke play stood out to be recognized as genius stuff. Bradman also possessed lightning run-scoring speed, as he once scored 452 runs in about 415 minutes. Sachin Tendulkar on the other hand is the top scorer in tests and one-day internationals and has played 159 tests so far, and with the kind of pressure that cricket produces on the cricket players, Sachin has maintained tremendous consistency as he has also notched up hundreds against all test playing nations.

Sachin vs Bradman when looked from the personal front unveils Sachin’s similarity with Don Bradman in many ways like being modest, courteous, and other such traits, but, Sachin differs from Bradman in being utterly popular with his team-mates and with opponents as well. Sachin and Bradman have produced tremendous impact on the lives of many, as Bradman during the times of Great Depression evoked hope for the many who were unemployed, and also was a big entertainment source to the cricket followers, while Sachin is an idol as well as a Cricketing God in India, which is a cricket crazy nation.

Sachin vs Bradman will boil down to the fact that both the legends had the uncanny knack to bat tremendously to delight the onlookers, as Sachin and Bradman lie bracketed together as to be recognized as genius stuff, as they both occupy the top pedestal.

High and Handsome, An Immortal Sixer-shooter did that in style

Baird would have found this a most gratifying moment. The very toy that he had built was telecasting an absolute cracker of a contest between bat and ball. The one-day match between India and England was cresting to a sensational finish, keeping the audience on the edge of the seats.  Being a Scottish man himself, Baird would have liked England to be the victor than the vanquished in a match that held promises of a close finish. It was a run riot. There was sumptuous meal for the batsmen from this batsman’s paradise. It proved right with England posting their highest ever score in India.

The last lap of the match had begun and it was a solitary run that separated India from victory. Patrolling the crease was a sly fox in Ashwin ready to lay its trap, this time with the bat. Standing like a gladiator with the bat resting on his shoulder and eyes betraying

Some whisper the emphatic No, while many bellow the affirmative Yes, or perceptually, it could go the other way. The ongoing craftsmanship vs showmanship game seems to stutter into a draw. But that showmanship of T20 has ignited different avatars of modern batting. And there is also the obvious swap of modern batting for traditional batting in the longer formats of the game. As an anodyne, the mind connects Viv to T-20 cricket live. You can hold Viv Richards as the archetype of T-20 batting.
