Huge understatement. It was a magnificent win.

Tendulkar retires from one day cricket (should have been international cricket imo). One of the greatest to ever play, arguably GOAT with the bat, he is in my mind at least. Was a joy to watch in his prime and his strokeplay was just so elegant yet effective. What was impressive was how he continued to adapt his game in the later years to continue to put up bog numbers. He did it all true legend, be a privilege to grow up watching him. Time for india to find some new talent.

So, interesting development. I might be facing off against Trent Boult tomorrow.
Good Times.

Why I said arguably. Still he takes the title for me. Granted its a generational thing but he has earned it.

You mean playing with more body protection? Protection from umpires? Better pitches? Unbelievably superior quality bats? And then averaging 30 runs less is more impressive?
Tendulkar is #2. But Bradman is the unquestionable GOAT.
| Quote: | Highest Individual Test Batting Average (minimum 15 innings) 99.94
Highest Test Batting Average for a 5-Test Series 201.50 (v South Africa, Australia, 1931-32)

5th wicket partnership (with Sid Barnes 1946-47) 405
6th wicket partnership (with Jack Fingleton 1936-37) 346
Only Test batsman to score more than 5,000 runs v an opponent (5,028 v England)
7 times scored 500 or more runs in a Test series (Equal with Lara)
Six times scored centuries in an interval (once pre lunch, twice lunch-tea, three times tea-stumps)
Scored the most runs in a single day’s play 309 v England, Leeds, 1930
Don Bradman scored 28,067 runs in First-class cricket at an average of 95.15, with a top score of 452 not out
The record for the highest partnership for any wicket by Australia against all countries was established by Don Bradman and Bill Ponsford at The Oval in 1934 (451 for the second wicket)

In his Test career, Don Bradman scored 26% of the team’s total runs
Don Bradman described himself as “predominately a back foot player”
Bradman’s average in Test matches reached 50 with his 3rd innings, and stayed above 50 for the rest of his career
Don Bradman’s batting average over his career in Test matches against all countries was 99.94 – if he had scored 4 more runs, he would have averaged 100 per innings |

Gloucestershire are my adopted team for County cricket seeing as Cheshire don't have a professional team. Glos finished bottom of Division Two last year, the only way is up! Good start today too.
