99.94 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 most stupidest thing that one can do. Political correctness is a sickness. Great man he was no doubt but to take his acheivements from a bygone era - which no one in their right mind thinks was anywhere remotely as competitive and challenging as it is today - and to proclaim that he would still beat the crap out of current day giants is one bloody big leap of faith. That was probably the most stupidest thing I've ever read. You say it's political correctness that won him the title as best batsmen of all time? Who ever said he would 'beat the crap out of current day giants'? Link to comment
teacup Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Forget Steyn and Co ... even Murali and Warne have better avgs and strike rates than Larwood. Comparing the standard of cricket in the 30's with that of the last 20 years is beyond funny. It is ludicrous. Link to comment

teacup Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Exactly. Exactly the opposite of what you claim, dude. You can be reasonably sure that Tendulkar would have been the best batsman in any era having been the greatest of the most competitive and most developed era. You cannot say that of Bradman with the same kind of assuredness, can you? Link to comment

teacup Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's Bradman's fault he wasn't born in the 70's? More importantly, it is not Tendulkar's fault that Bradman was not born in the modern era. Link to comment

In Bradman's era he averaged more than twice as much as an average batsman, no one else even came close. In Tendulkar's era he averaged about 10 more than an average batsman, as did many others.

If a student scores 99 out of 100 in class 4 and all his classmates are dumb, that doesn't mean he is better than a student who scores 56 out of 100 in maths olympiad. Link to comment

I guess you have gone back to square-one, a point that has been discussed ad nauseam, after having failed to put across anything meaningful. Link to comment
99.94 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 There is no reasoning with you people. You just hate the fact that an Australian is " beyond any argument, the greatest batsman who ever lived and the greatest cricketer of the 20th century". Link to comment

Bradman99 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Can't you all just accept that both are legends of the game and not compare them. Nobody can say with any proof that one would do better in the certain era then another. There is just too much doubt behind the situation. Just say that Bradman is the best of his era, Tendulkar the best of his. There, so much easier. Nobody will win this debate. Link to comment

teacup Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 They weren't alive when he played either. Yes, so there is no nostalgia or allegiance influencing their opinion. Link to comment
