den answer hs to be SACHIN TENDULKAR ...

cricket is also called d game of gentlemens.. and even in dis world of sledging and Match fixing

d name SACHIN TENDUKAR still made us believe d circket is d still game of gemtlemen's ..

all d palyer u mention here Apart from Sachin Tendulkar are definately gr888 no doubt 

respect to all of dem

bt when is comes to gretest cricketer 

d all other players u mention here , they only suggest Name of SACHIN TENDULKAR ...

though it was Sir don bradman , Imran Khan , Steave Waugh ...

to them Sachin is d best ...

he start playing cricket at 16 now he is 38yrs old

he dedicated d most impotant 28 yrs of his life to cricket ..

he ws not der with his father when he died, 

he is not always der at d side of his wife and children when they need him

bt though even if he was not from India , den alsoo our answer for d above question is d same .

here I nt mention his any records becoz no need to sayy ..number and stats speeks a lot

compare to his record not a single cricketer is reached dat place ..

  

IS SACHIN TENDULKAR A MATCH WINNER ?

What do u mean by a match winner...? Hitting 6s and 4s towards the end of the innings and scoring over 7 runs per over and chasing a target? Surely it is match winning. If a batsman does well in the first innings and set a huge target.. or Creating a strong platform in the second innings... isn't it a match winning effort...? Isn't he a match winner...? Yea!! to some extent...! Right...?! So Sachin is not a good match winner... right? Chasing the target is match winning... am i correct?! now, lets talk about ODIs. Please check these statistics... (as of March 2010). Some comparisons with two 'matchwinning legends'.

Highest number of Man of the Match awards... 61 Is it the award for the worst player in a match?!! No it is for the best player... right...?! Then tell me the definition of best player in a match...?!!

Leading run getter in Oneday Internationals Hit maximum number of Centuries in Oneday Internationals Sachin is the leading run getter in TWO world cups, 1996 and 2003 Out of his 46 tons in ODI, 17 were while chasing and and 29 were in 1st inn. He is the only batsman in the history of Oneday Internations to hit a double century. He is the only batsman in the world to complete 10000 runs in the matches in which the team have won. The most interesting fact is that Sachin has scored 46 hundreds, and out of these tons, 33 hundreds came as matchwinning hundreds. 14 came while batting second... 19 while batting first. which is more than the total no of hundreds scored by the batsman in the second position in the century list.

No doubt Sachin Tendulker.. Beside being a superb batsman, I want to say that he is a very good all rounder, though now a days he hasn't been used as a bowler much, probably due to injury and growing age, for preserving his excellence in batting. But once upon a time he made India won by his bowling performance.. I can't forget the match in Kochi (1998) where he took 5 wicket for just 32 runs against Australia, even if we have to forget Hero cup Semifinal(against SA) and Titan cup semi..Sachin Tendulker is undoubtedly the greatest one of our era according to me
