OBSERVATIONS FROM THE YOUTUBE COMMENT SECTION WHERE A HEATED BATTLE FOR BATTING SUPREMACY RAGES -- BRADMAN OR TENDULKAR?

1. Don Bradman is leagues ahead of Sachin Tendulkar and all other batsmen in Test cricket history till date. He is inarguably the greatest batsman who ever played this game at its highest testing level.

2. Of course, he was. The Don unquestionably was the greatest ever. No batsman in history stands remotely close to him. Pardon the conjuction of antonyms to highlight the contrast between the Don and the rest.

3. Bradman's brain was far more developed than Tendulkar's. Hence, his far superior success. The Don's enormous concentration, clarity in thinking which helped in shot-selection, unbelievably good footwork that used to advantage the entire available space within the batting crease and, above all, his self-confidence born of innate abilities as well as superior character attributes -- all these contributed to his unparalleled success as a batsman, his superiority soaring over others of his tribe in a manner that has been unmatched in any sport, not merely cricket. Thus was Bradman voted by journalists across the world as the greatest sportsperson across all sports played in the international arena. In no other sport, they reckoned, was someone almost twice as good as the rest.

4. It is argued that batsmen from different generations cannot be compared. But that was one of the great passions of Sir Don. He liked to compare batsmen from different eras, find out the commonalities and contrasts between them, the different playing conditions and equipment, psychology and evolved state of the game,  and come to his conclusions, entirely subjective to him, though, which is why he kept his observations to himself lest it provoke unnecessary controversy which was the last thing he wished for, and that was precisely the stated reason why Roland Perry was supposedly allowed to publish the book 'Bradman's Best' after the passing away of the great man, a selection contested by Gavaskar as not having been made by Bradman himself and, therefore by implication, thrust on the Don post mortem.

Sugata Bose @Jai Galagali : The video is alright but the commentary is horrendous including the introductions given by you in your videos. You must procure experts in this regard.

Sugata Bose @Apurv Nigudkar : I found yours there. Sorry for the find of the year. Your horrible punctuation punctuates your ignorance to make my find congruous with your incongruous head-box. Moreover, one may look anywhere using the brain itself. So, should one discover a brain in one's dust-bin, it is likely to be someone else's. In this case, unfortunately, it is yours. I'm couriering it back to you. See to it, if you can, that is, -- for how may a brainless person do it? -- that you receive my return parcel fair and square and get restored to your original cerebral status alright.

Sugata Bose @Tendulkar's humility is more pretentious than real. His words are terribly lacking in originality and are expressive of his intellectual dullness. Moreover, the moderator is hardly moderate. He is too loud for comfort.
