you are parochial and assinine for asserting that i am only saying that because Bradman is an aussie, when i mentioned other reasons categorically.haha and im parochial?... the fact is that you only are saying that because Bradman is Australian... hahaha you really are making a fool of yourself here...
Yeah. Bradman could bowl. Even Lehmann or Tendy can bowl. Trouble is, he isnt even in the same galaxy as Sobers when it comes to bowling. Just like how tendy or Lehmann's bowling arnt in the same galaxy as Keith Miller's.Bradman COULD bowl.... what evidence have you seen that has shown sobers is a better fielder? you being really old and wise... at 23 years old!...
as a batsman i would pick Bradman any day of the week over Sobers too.i think i'd pick bradman anyday of the week over sobers.... and im sure im not alone
like i said,it is just as racist as this one is.By other forums do you mean the racist one you go too? nah i think i'll pass

no point discussing now.no point discussing anything with you... you are blinkered... you speak so highly of yourself.. yet what comes out of your mouth contradicts your thoughts
yeah thats exactly what i saidC_C said:no point discussing now.
When you gain the knowledge and nous to argue your case, then you may try again.
If you want the names of the books, i will be willing to oblige.
if you want footage of Sobers, i will be willing to oblige with the names of websites that can help ya out.
So far the most idiotic comment that i've heard is just coz Bradman could 'bowl', he equals Sobers as a cricketer.
hell....then brian Lara, who's turned his arm over ever so occasionally on the field, can equal Sobers too..right ?
how do you mean? your the resident thread digger.steds said:nobody has told this guy that I'm the resident thread digger
It does?C_C said:This underlines YOUR parochialism, not mine.
perhaps you should visit/interact with the caribbean community then.No, stereotypes should not be placed without reason, but I'm afraid there's no two ways about the fact that subcontinentals - Indians especially - are generally those who are keenest to talk down the idea that Bradman was massively superior.
perhaps but then thats valid for everyone.I might add it is perfectly possible for you to be unaware of any prejudice you may have against him.
BTW, can't help feeling this'll probably get closed before long...
Yes but he would have no trouble if the same rules applied back then as they do now, i mean he would now know that 6/7 of the 8 balls bowled werent all going to be bouncers, so ofcourse he would feel alot more comfortable and could play it with ease...C_C said:I've read numerous accounts of bodyline series and i've come to the conclusion that it was not as bad as facing the WI four prong or Lillee/Thommo.......Bodyline had bowlers of inferior pace compared to the WI four prong by most accounts and that alone would be enough to drag Down Bradman to some saner numbers.
Another thing about Bodyline- it may take a bit of time for me to search for the articles, but there were articles written DURING bodyline that suggested Bradman just wasnt comfortable against intimidatory bowling. He got suckered into the "bouncer-then yorker' combo by Larwood three or four times during that tour and IIR the article correctly (it had exerpts from the SMH), Bradman was very much perturbed by larwood's fast-medium pace and fuller line.....few ungainly swipes ( very un-bradman-ish) and then comprehensively bowled.
And I've shown quite clearly that you are incorrect if you think you know for certain that the bowlers were of inferior pace in those days.C_C said:I've read numerous accounts of bodyline series and i've come to the conclusion that it was not as bad as facing the WI four prong or Lillee/Thommo.......Bodyline had bowlers of inferior pace compared to the WI four prong by most accounts and that alone would be enough to drag Down Bradman to some saner numbers.
Yep, and if you ask me anyone who thinks that is biased towards someone from their own country.C_C said:perhaps you should visit/interact with the caribbean community then.
Many there think that not only wasnt the Don the best batsman ever, he wasnt a patch on headley.
It is - but why would I have any? There is no logical reason for such.perhaps but then thats valid for everyone.
I might add it is perfectly possible for you to be unaware of any bootlickin tendencies you have for him.
plenty of reasons are there actually. Here's oneAnd I've shown quite clearly that you are incorrect if you think you know for certain that the bowlers were of inferior pace in those days.
overall i agree. On sticky wickets, i would pick headley 10 times outta 10 over Bradman though.From everything I can deduce Headley was the one batsman of the 20th-century who came closest to Bradman - but he wasn't as good or anywhere near.
Disgusting comment, how can you be so sure? its unknown so you cant say itd be so one sidedC_C said:On sticky wickets, i would pick headley 10 times outta 10 over Bradman though.
