well..u cant really compare Sachin Tendulkar with Sir Don Bradman.. they are both highly talented , gifted players of their generation ..Sir Don Bradman batting average of 99.94 in test will surely never be achieved nor broken. Indeed Sir Bradman did not play one day internationals as there was still no one day internationals at that time.. it got introduced only in the early 1970's.. Similarly Sachin Tendulkar is an outstanding player in himself .. He has got many records in his name including the highest runs in test as well as one day international... so..i believe Sir Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar , both of them are great players in their own regards and they cant be compared :)

I think that Sachin Tendulkar is the best batsman ever because he has scored runs against all countries, on all grounds and has performed well in both tests and ODIs whereas bradman played only tests and played most of his matches against England. Sachin has also played matches under huge presure and expectations of a billion fans.

This is very difficult to say who is best . I think both are best . Sachin is highest scorer in cricket. but bradman average and strike rate is best in international cricket . Sachin play odi and test , but bradman played only test . bradman and sachin both are great cricketer in world cricket .

Sachin is the best of the modern generation but Bradman's test average will never be beaten so he must be the best batsman of all times. Consider if Bradman had played as many tests as Sachin just how many runs would he have amassed?

For me both are highly talented cricketer. But as far as modern cricket as concerned I think surely Tendulkar is slightly better when compared to Bradman. Also I think Tendulkar is a bit better in terms of technical batting. Bradman played before some 60 years I guess. In those days I dont think the bowlers are THAT great than what they were today. Also the reverse swing bowling is not even discovered in those times. Lately, the cricketing god Sir Wasim Akram mastered it followed by Waqar Younis. And soon everyone followed their foot steps. Also in those times, there is no variety bowling was seen. There is a lot of improvement in terms of bowling these days and I really dont have an idea about how Donbradman would have adopted to these kinds of variety in bowling if he were to bat in these days. Mean while, Tendulkar has most number of runs in Test matches and ODI as well he got more number of centuries in Test matches and ODI than anyone else batting in the planet. Surely, he has proved the world to be the best batsman the world ever seen. Although, we cannot underestimate bradman just because we dont know how we would have adopted to the modern era and the varitey fo techniques that have been discovered in bowling lately, but still I think Tendulkar is technically good than Bradman.

I think you love sachin to much. For this reason you said it but I think there is no other player is best from Bradman. If you are a real fan of cricket, then you knew that about Bradman average. If you know that how can you told it? Do you know those names Pointing, Kalis and Brian lara. How can you forget those names? First read the record books then comments. I think sachin is good, Lara is better and Bratman is the best. Yeah Sachin is the best but in India not a whole world.

my answer is sachin tendulkar. but both sachin and bradman are highly talented and cant compare with other players.both of them have their own style and both can be considered as the masters of cricket.as you said bradman had played only in test cricket , his style of play is unique.his average in test is not yet acheived by any other batsman.
