He doesn't bowl though, in any meaningful sense.
And unlike Bradman, he's hardly one-third better than every other player at the discipline he specialises in.
And spare me this idea that he's brought cricket ahead in India. India was cricket mad before Tendulkar. It's board becoming wealthy has far more to do with India's economy monving forward than it does one player being a hero. FMD were that the case the BCCI would have been wealthy post-83, surely.
He's a great player, but 2nd or 3rd greatest ever?
