Excellent article. Great event. Awesome match.

This Australian tips his hat to the class, talent and passion of the two behemoths who delighted the rest of the cricketing planet with a summit game that will remain seared in our collective memory.

Here is to hoping that something good and incomparably more important (peace and friendship) comes out of this encounter.

However, this "Sachin Tendulkar, who is arguably the best batsman in history" is in insult. Crikey.

Mate. Seriously.

How many times will we have to print those four digits (99.94, for the less cricket-literate amongst us) for nonsense such as the quoted sentence to vanish for ever? Gosh.

The Earth is round. Day follows night. Sir Don was the greatest batsman (and cricketer, full stop) of all times. It is painfully simple and has been proven ad nauseam.

Gee. Tendulkar is a cricket god. Yes. But Bradman he ain't.

Describe why the comment violates our policy.
