They all crap
Agree to an extent.People blindly vote for Tendulkar.
Remove the minnows and Sehwag has done fantastically well, way better than Sachin Tendulkar. He has given the middle order the platform to come and play without any pressure.
yeh, except in a pressure situation, or in the 4th innings, or when the ball is doing a bit, or when its not a flat pitch.People blindly vote for Tendulkar.

Australasia is a continent you ignoramus. So Ponting is the best from a continent while Tendulkar is (perhaps) the best from a piddling sub-continent. Yet another reason why Ponting >>>>>Tendulkar.(1) Tendulkar , (2) Ponting the best from the Australasian subcontinent, IMO.
Tendulkar had a terrible patch between 03-07. So it is close call between several players. Dravid's form has been **** compared to his usual lofty standards so ppl tend to forget just how good he was in the earlier part of this decade.tendulkar was the best batsman of world in the last 10 years so he is also the best batsman of the sub continent.
This is why you can't really pick tendulakr.Tendulkar had a terrible patch between 03-07. So it is close call between several players. Dravid's form has been **** compared to his usual lofty standards so ppl tend to forget just how good he was in the earlier part of this decade.
It is a close call
Should exclude west Indies as well.My vote goes to VVS Laxman. Here is a list of the stats during this period excluding BD/Zim and Laxman is right in the mix averaging 53. However if you look at tests in Australia,England and South Africa he averages 54, second only to Tendulkar among these 9 batsmen and far ahead of several of them. So in addition to being superb against the best team in this period and playing a couple of the greatest innings ever he has been consistent home and away against most teams.
AWTA.I'll go with Sehwag. Seriously close between several players though.
But for the remaining 6 years he has been OUTSTANDING. Has done enough in those 6 years to comfortably beat most of the others who played during this time. And it has to be borne in mind that Tendulkar's terrible form was terrible by his standards and not at an absolute level.This is why you can't really pick tendulakr.
Last 2-3 years has left a bitter test. Many of us thinks he should make a way for Pujara or any such young lad.Think Dravid is being somewhat underrated in this poll. Can't think of too many reasons to put Sanga above him.
