Maybe if there's another disaster, we'll get another World XI v Asia XI?

If there is an environmental disaster that would lead to a charity match between the two games. The match isn't a disaster in itself

Okay you are contridicting yourself here. First off, you said that Sobers is the only player to get close to Bradman's class and awe. Well, you were not refering about his all round ability because Bradman was a batsmen not an all-arounder therefore, you were talking about his batting abilities only. Meaning if you take Benaud's opinion you must take it to the fullest, which means Tendulkar and Sobers are the only players to get close to Bradman's class and awe. It's mainly a matter of giving the respect that Tendulkar deserves considering what Benaud said and what you said yourself.
Undoubtibly I can say that Tendulkar will have a large impact off the field and I would say more than he did on the field. A good example is Gavaskar, he has a lot of power in cricket and his thoughts on cricket are extremely important to the world of cricket. Tendulkar is a bigger player and because he already has a huge impact on cricket off the field I can say confidently he will be an impact until he passes on.
Australian perspective but not the perspective of the world. Now Tendulkar has affected each and every nation of cricket in a huge way in India, he has not affected the game that much in Australia but he has made somewhat of an impact. The reason I say that is because he is the best player from India against Australia and he always brings his best against Australia. So he has impacted the way that Australia and many countries see India as in a Cricket standpoint. Before they were known as a weak team, now they are one of the best in the world, Tendulkar had a huge part of that.
Now can you tell me that Bradman has had a larger impact in Rest of The World outside of Australia, the UK and SA. I would say you can't, no one got the chance to see him play in their own country therefore, like I said they cannot learn to play like Bradman did. So let's put a score down, Bradman has affected more significantly: UK, SA and Australia. Whereas Tendulkar has affected more significantly:South Asia, Somewhat of Africa and the West Indies. Now going back to what you said about Bradman being in the newspaper, that just shows how big he was back then, not how big he is now and his impact on the game today. For these reasons I say Tendulkar has had a larger overall impact on cricket in the world, today.

Don't you get it?
Bradman is a MUCH better batsmen than Tendulkar. So you cannot even compare Sobers and Tendulkar.

DID YOU EVEN READ MY POSTS? I said who has a bigger impact in cricket Bradman or Tendulkar, what I don't understand is you say Bradman is a much better batsmen without any proof, stereotype brought the statement by Richie and you didn't give me anything. I hate how you mindlessly posts with reading anything, atleast stereotype reads my posts you just pick points and keep on repeating the same thing over and over again, it makes you seem even more than idiot than you already are.
How can you say Bradman is better than Tendulkar when Bradman played only one team, he played in a time when there was absolutely no spin bowling compared to today's spin bowling. What your saying is that if Bradman played in Today's cricket he would average 100 which, he wouldn't. Also, what does the comparison of Bradman and Tendulkar have to do with the comparison of Sobers and Tendulkar?

Resulting to insults when nobody agrees with you?

Bradman faced people like Harold Larwood with no helmet and primitive pads on uncovered pitches.
In my books that is a lot tougher than facing today's spinners.

Just shows the nature of your culture
What does my culture have to do with anything, I insulted you because you are an Idiot. This proves how you are an idiot you say something without even thinking, you honestly think you know my culture when you know absolutely nothing about it, you just take what the media thinks about my culture. Do I think that all Australians are idiots because of the media no, most of them are very intelligent unlike you. I am sorry that I am stating the facts but it is true, you do not read any of posts, you just read 1 point and say...."Bradman is a MUCH better batsmen than Tendulkar." You don't give a reason why, and you didn't even reply to the true nature of my post, Tendulkar having a larger impact on cricket than Bradman. I am not getting annoyed, I am getting frustrated how you can be so ignorant. Especially with that insult to my culture even though my insult is valid, BTW next time someone calls you an idiot, you don't say something back because you cannot reply. You prove to the rest of us that you are not idiot by giving us a valid reason why you are not an idiot.
Read the post by Hmarka, he says that Bradman is better but he has a reason why, he also reads my posts and responds to it accordingly. On that note I think that spinning is very underrated especially with the world class spinners Tendulkar has faced such as Warne and Murali. Two of the biggest wicket takers also, Bradman never faced the likes of the strong West Indian bowlers like Ambrose and Walsh like Tendulkar faced along with aussies, Lee and Mcgrath. Plus, who can forget the Pakistanis, Waqar and Wasim. Doing well in all of these nations is very difficult for any human and for Bradman to do well in all these nations would prove he is the best but we cannot delegate that now can we.

If tendulkar had to play in Bradman's era, he would probably be dead, after all Larwood was almost as fast as modern day quickies and when he hit you there was no helmet to keep your head on.
The best way to see how good a batsman, a player was is to compare him to player in his own time and see the differnce. Wally Hammond was probably number 2 behind Bradman but averaged a whole 40 points less, Tendulkar however is not the only player who fights for the title of greatest batsman in the 90's, with Lara being right up their. Bradman dominated an era with dodgy wickets, dodgy bats, no safty gear and some very good english bowling. Tendelkur is in a era with expert training, bats which hit the ball a mile and Laws whoch are catered to make batting easier.
And if you talk about effect, people still quote what Bradman said even if it was 40 or 50 years ago. Recognition from Bradman was probably the greatest honour a player could get. Bradman was also a selector and administrator for cricket.
