Bradman honour for Waugh, Sachin

Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar will join Steve Waugh in Sydney next month for their induction as the 2014 Bradman Honourees.

Tendulkar and Waugh will join the likes of Dennis Lillee and Adam Gilchrist as inductees at a gala dinner at the Sydney Cricket Ground on October 29.

"There could be no more principled and deserving individuals in the game than Sachin and Steve," said Bradman Foundation Executive Director Rina Hore.

"Were Sir Donald to still be alive I'm sure he would unhesitatingly applaud their recognition at the ground where his ambition to play Test cricket was first kindled."

Tendulkar will be just the third Indian and fourth non-Australian to be inducted following Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid and Sir Richard Hadlee.

Both men enjoyed impressive records at the SCG, with Tendulkar scoring three centuries from five Tests at the ground, including an unbeaten innings of 241 in the 2004 New Year's Test.

Waugh, who retired after that match, scored three centuries from 17 Tests at his home ground, including his memorable last-ball century against England in 2003.

Tendulkar has scored more international runs than any other player in cricket history and was famously regarded by Bradman as the player who most reminded him of himself.

Quick Single: Don or Sachin - who's the greatest?

India will play four Tests in Australia this summer, the first time they have toured the country without Tendulkar in over two decades.
