The Genius
What more could have Sachin Tendulkar done to be unequivocally accepted as the all time great of the cricketing world? My answer is ‘nothing’. I am not ashamed of saying that he is the one.
I cannot understand why he is always placed after Bradman and why he is always compared with Lara and now ridiculously with Ponting? If scoring more than 28,000 runs cannot make you the greatest, then nothing ever can and I think that is very unfair. How many who place him after Bradman have actually seen Bradman play? Sachin has definitely played more cricket than Bradman, has faced more variety of bowlers, who arguably could be better bowlers than those from the Bradman era. And Lara has scored 6,000 runs less at a lower average in both forms of the cricket.
