The closest batsman you have ever seen to Don Bradman

[slowfinger]

i think for me unironically it would be Steve Smith. numbers wise and I just brutally remember that run he had last time he came in the Ashes before he got hit, he simply would not get out and nobody knew how to bowl to him.

i don’t know if it was Root’s uninspiring captaincy but the plan literally was to try and trap him LBW from working the ball on the leg side, lr have him on a mis timed hook shot. it was insane

I find this incredibly hard to believe….

Shillinglaw, who is a coach now, has conducted an extensive biomechanical study of Bradman's technique and claims that actually it is Pakistan's Inzaman-ul Haq, who comes close to Bradman's batting style.

Asked if not Tendulkar then who is closest to batting style of Bradman, Shillinglaw came up with a surprise choice.

"Funnily enough, the nearest I've seen of all people is Inzamam-ul-Haq, even though he was a big bull of a man. His batting movements were the nearest I've seen to Bradman, and amazingly his timing and his foot movement for a big man - they were very quick," says Shillinglaw, who penned the book Bradman Revisited.

Inzamam, not Tendulkar resembles Bradman's batting style: Shillinglaw - Cricket Country

Australian great Sir Don Bradman himself declared that Sachin Tendulkar reminds him of his own batting style but former English cricketer Tony Shillinglaw has argued through a study that technique wise both the players are as different as chalk and cheese.

Inzy's size often got in the way but he definitely seemed like he had more time to play the ball against fast bowlers than most other batsmen I have seen.

I always found the Sachin comparison odd. Sachin’s technique was nothing like Bradman’s.

I always thought it was based on a vague answer to a leading question.

Its coz Bradman's wife apparently told him Sachin bats like him. And he took that seriously.
