King Tendulkar Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Not my words but those of Angus Fraser "Completing 100 hundreds has to be a greater feat than that of the late, great Sir Donald Bradman, whose Test batting average was an incredible 99.94, and it compares favourably with the 1,281 goals Pele scored in his football career or the five Olympic rowing gold medals won by Sir Steve Redgrave."
India-KXIP fan Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Anything before 1970=Irrelevant. Bowlers, batsmen were all chit SRT is ATG /thread

Bradman's feat isn't just the greatest in cricket, it's the greatest in any sport. There was a statistical analysis conducted sometime ago which proved just how far ahead of the pack he is.
Needforspeed Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 :hysterical::hysterical: Another Bradman vs Tendulkar thread.
zen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Those who don't think 100 100s > an avg of 100 are all Aussie bhakts and drool on anything videshi :orderorder: For national pride, say "100 100s are better" :isalute:
SachDan Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Not my words but those of Rahul Dravid One of his special qualities has been that he has made all of us realise that certain feats which we all thought were never possible to achieve, could be done. His 100thhundreds is one of them. He has created a new milestone, which to my mind is like Don Bradman's average of 99.94, the most memorable feat any cricketer has achieved.
akshayxyz Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Even though I do not agree with the comparison. Let me just state this: Great sportsmen break old records/milestones, greatest ones create new ones for others to break. WG created 100 FC centuries, Don created 99.94, SRT (media) created 100 international 100s (and counting). It is not sensible to compare these with each other, all these reflect/represent different things.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Both are amazing feats IMO... Bradman's shows the consistency with him averaging a century per bat :omg: Tendulkar's showcases longevity at the top and performing at a high level in intl cricket for 23 years!!! Both achievements are quite amazing and most probably will not be overtaken.
India-KXIP fan Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Brian Lara- " whoever I have spoken to who have seen very old players in action, they believe that he (Bradman) would not have averaged 99 in today's cricket." :hysterical: barely holds the bat properly in this vid lol [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmUw9dDa1ys]Don Bradman - YouTube[/ame]
