what makes Sachin a better Cricketer than Viv really?

As much as I give people grief, there is something to that longevity claim which is just about the only reason I rate him slightly above Viv. Sachin wasn't necessarily (imo) a batter batsman.

Viv was an ATG slip and a good leader though, I think Sachin is very marginally better at batting but that is about it imo, Viv for the tertiary skillset.

Sachin was more adaptable than Viv which is why he had more longevity and more quality years. But Viv as Johan mentioned is a better overall package.

In reality he's fifth but I wanted to include Sachin as a meme pick.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Opted for bowlers. Mainly because they’re better and more important than batsmen.

If I had to stretch to batsmen, then Aravinda, Lara, Arnold, Gooch and Sir Viv.

 

[ankitj]

Imran, Murali, Hadlee, Kallis, Tendulkar
