Sir Don's records are such ridiculous , no point even trying to put someone else's records against him !

In the second final of Commonwealth Bank Series, Sachin Tendulkar [Images] broke a world record that almost went unnoticed.

When his score reached 9, Tendulkar became only the second batsman after Sir Don Bradman to make 5000 or more runs against a particular opponent in all forms of international cricket (Tests, ODIs and T20 internationals).


On 38, he broke Sir Don's world record of 5028 runs against England [Images]. Now Tendulkar has 5082 runs against Australia in all international cricket.

Sir Don Bradman had scored all the runs in Test matches. No one can come close to this record, not even Tendulkar. But, in all international matches, Tendulkar is now the 'Don'.
