no.1 batsman in the world cricket history

Arguably Sachin Tendulkar. I never saw the batting of Don Bradman but it is true that he never faced so many opponents, never played in so many venues and so many number of matches for a long time like Sachin. He holds two triple centuries and an incredible avg of 99.94 but look at the statistics of Sachin-47 ODI centuries, 51 test centuries, 14,000+ runs in tests, 17,000+ runs in ODI. Scored almost everywhere and and against each and every possible opponents. Has scored 200 runs in an single innings in ODI and many more.

no doubt it's don bradman.........oh my gosh his avg was 99.9%. He was truly a batsman above of all. When he came for bat every bowler have to think 100 times that which bowl they should deliver. excellent to have a such a batsman in cricket history.

I think in the batsmen race there are two players who stand head and shoulders above all else. First is the Don Bradman with his avg. of 99.94. The second is the master blaster Sachin with 98 international centuries. Cheers! Ram

Don Bradman is undoubtedly the best batsman to have ever graced the game. But of the players that I've seen playing, it is definitely Sachin Tendulkar, specially because of the way he set standards for himself as the game evolved around him. All other veteran cricketers struggled to keep up with the changing pace of the game, Sachin always stayed an era ahead of the rest, setting new standards and pace for the game time and again.
