This is a blessing in disguise. By proving that Bradman = Inzi, he has therefore, proven that SRT >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bradman SRT :hail::hail:

But cricket has not grown in popularity :dontknow: Infact it is the only sports where some very good teams are now minnows.The only country where cricket popularity has increased is BD and they have yet to produce any good player

Are you kidding me? For the first 50 years of Test cricket there were just 3 countries playing it with one being a minnow (SA). The whole population pool involved would have been hardly a few millions. When India came in to the scene for the first 30-40 years (until about the 80s) serious cricket was played basically in urban centers only. Indian teams would virtually be Mumbai teams with a few players thrown in from K'taka and Delhi. It's only in the 90s and more recently that competitive cricket has been played all over India and the national team looks at least like a proper representation of the nation. If you think Zim and Ban are minnows then what about teams like SA, India, WI, Pak, and NZ till about 1950s. Among these only WI graduated to a serious team in the 1960s and SA in the late 60s.

Batting style Go Inzi :yay:

Ya who gives a f### about what bradman thought

[The Outsider]

^ Repeating my earlier question - why has a tiny island of hundred square miles and the population of North Delhi produced more great cricketers than the entire crazy country and competitive country of 1 billion?

Bradman just wanted to jump on to the Tendulkar bandwagon before it was too late, that's why he made those comments.

Among these only WI graduated to a serious team in the 1960s and SA in the late 60s.[/quote']But how does that add up to Bradman's average of 100 (International games*) to Tendulkar's 45 average (International games* minnow adjusted). * :- International game(Tests + ODI's + 20-20) is a yard stick picked by the SRT fanatics to suit their argument. So I am just using that same yardstick here to show the average of both SRT and DGB in the "international" games they played in.

[Vijay.Sharma]

OK just to give you an indication, here are the number of players who played the game at Test level - from 1877 to 31 Dec 1918 (end of WW1) - 372 players i.e. about 56 players per decade 01 jan 1919 to 31 dec 1945 (between the wars) - 388 players i.e. about 130 players per decade 01 jan 1946 to 31 dec 1959 - 435 players i.e. about 290 players per decade 01 jan 1960 to 31 dec 1969 - 346 players 01 jan 1970 to 31 dec 1979 - 321 players 01 jan 1980 to 31 dec 1989 - 382 players 01 jan 1990 to 31 dec 1999 - 500 players 01 jan 2000 to 31 dec 2009 - 586 players 01 jan 2010 to present - 242 players

(I am not being politically correct) The same reason why the best athletes in US are of African american origin even though they only constitute 12 percent of the entire population. Its genetic. But genes only take you so far if the organizational structure of the sporting body isn't suitable to cultivate talent. That is why WI team isn't good anymore (also rest of the world has improved). Another thing, the best west indian athletic talent is going into other sports and athletic activities (like football and athletics).

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Tendulkar isnt the greatest bastman in cricket neither is Bradman nor was Viv Sobers or Gavaskar.they were the best of their eras.

It's just the relative competitiveness of cricket which makes us think Holding is greater?
