Just cirous! All these people that have been naming Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Micheal Holding, Kapil Dav as their favourite players; have actually saw them play live?
No offence meant.

Micheal Holding I can't rememeber but Viv and Kapil Dev many many times.For example,I personally seen Viv in Neheru cup (shown live on DD). That neheru cup final is my all time favorite ODI.I also have seen 87 worldcup and many sharjah cups live on tv.

btw how old are you?

Wow, you actually saw Viv Richard play. That's simply awsome. If I met you person to person; I would get your autograph. I am 18.

Well once his technique was flawless. But Don Bradman is still the best there was and is. Some players that can be compared to Sachin are: Jacques Kallis, Brian Lara, Steve Waugh. A future Sachin might be G Smith of RSA.

hi logen have you seen all matches of don bradman.have you followed his innings well.i am sure you havent.we all heard from media that he is great player ,even tendulkar himself told that.but you have to realise one thing at the time of bradman nobody knows techniques,only known thing is hit the ball hard.so there is no chance of class,htiitng the ball between fileders,in gaps through ground.

i like tendulkar because he can play shots on any side of the wicket .hits the ball in between fileders,in gaps and make it so easy....

for me he is the best eventhough he is a little bit down now ad ays due to injuries.

but you have to give respect because he played almost 15 years and still he is maintaining the average ,making centuries...

tell me who is the other player doing like this..


i will accept that don bradman is gr8 player .

I have seen all of them playing live at one time or another since I seriously started following cricket in 1983.
