As the editor of World Cricket Watch, I can see that this comment thread is starting to get a little out of hand. I just wanted to clear up a few things…

1) Contrary to popular belief as it seems, all the team at World Cricket Watch in fact love the ‘little master’. As a special tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, we’ve even compiled a place to pay tribute. It features videos of his centuries and records, articles on his career and anything else we can find on the great man.

If you have anything else to add to this space please suggest it in the comments.

2) We consider Sachin to be the finest batsmen of his generation. Better than Lara and better than Ponting.

You can listen to our discussion in episode 6 of the weekly cricket podcast entitled “One Hand One Bounce”

http://worldcricketwatch.com/podcasts/listen-to-one-hand-one-bounce-cricket-podcast-episode-6/

Or you might like to read “The Fine Wine Debate” as Ponting and Sachin face off…

3) Since this article was first written way back in 2009, Sachin has gone from strength to strength and has made the author subsequently change his viewpoint. David Green now concedes that Sachin edges it over the likes of Lara and Ponting. In a more recent article he even goes as far to consider Sachin surpassing Don Bradman as the greatest batsman of all time.

This is rubbish. It not the amount of runs that you make but the situation in which you contribute. A fifty in a winning cause is more important than a triple hundred on a flat pitch where the test is drawn.
We all talk about Sachin, of course he is a great batsman, what about gavaskar. He played the best fats bowlers without helmet. Its not easy. Its really difficult to tell 10 batsman but my choice would be.
Bradman
Sachin
Gavaskar
Lara
Zaheer Abbas
Viv Richards
Hammond
Hutton
Barry Richards
Grame Pollock
