Sooda Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 No but it must be discussed in that context. Not like some of the loony bradman fanboys. Who belive bradman would rock up and score a double ton in a test match tommorow. 1. Thus its clear Tendulkar is the greatest real time batsman ever. 2. Its a seperate argument who was the greatest in relation to their era. But in regards to pre 1960s players. I truly beleive the game was so different that even in point 2 its impossibel to comare to modern game players, as techniques and tactics were so different and competition levels so different(Bradman had one decent country to play that was england other were pathetic)! Bradman was from a bygone prehistoric era in cricket terms to compare him to modern players is dumb Oh, well Im not sure many people are claiming he'd rock up and score a double ton tomorrow if he were to time travel and appear in a test . Dont think that is Shwetabhs view. I always took it to be 'in relation to their era'- that can be the ONLY discussion here. Or we would have to ponder on what Tendulkar would have averaged had he been born in 1910 or Bradman in 1975.

Or we would have to ponder on what Tendulkar would have averaged had he been born in 1910 or Bradman in 1975. Many arguing Bradman in time travel would be just as good. Hence their use of stats to try and confirm this! Some claimed Lohmann from 120 years ago if travelled to 2010 would be one of the best bowlers! Delusional stuff My point is this. In real time Tendulkar is best batsman ever. Which means Tendulkar is a better batsman then Bradman and so best batsman ever!

Would Brdaman delusionists accept that Bradman played in a far less competitive era. As only decent team to play was england. Thus to be the best from england/australia meant that they become the best in the world. Big fish in small pond
King Tendulkar Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Its like gora runners in long distances from 30s. They won everything. Why? Cos non competitive era . Now Africans have woken up and compete. Now truly cometitive era and suddenly we see so many great kenyans and gora dont get look in. So someone formthe 30s should be part of history etc but greatest dont be silly, just big fish in very very small pond
King Tendulkar Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 i disagree. Todays players dont know anything about 20s playing condition' date=' absence of protective gear, umpiring standards, no technology to rely on .. current bunch of players with their physios, diets etc are a spoilt bunch who knows how they would have performed with so many unknowns[/quote'] Put Sachin in time machine and let him face 1920s bowling. I have a feeling he would do ok:hysterical: Another romantic delusional post
