How is that relevant when we are comparing them as batsmen?

Tbh, I think you are completely wrong on the IPL point.tbh, the fanboyism does get irritating for me too... But then there are quite a few irritating things about CW that we all get used too, and this is one of them for me.. I have my views on Sachin and always had them... Even he doesn't think his T20 success is any big news, coz he always was a great batsman and it was only a matter of adjusting to the format. But a LOT of his fans are going to say that he is a great BECAUSE he also succeeded in T20.. IMO, any all time great once given enough time to adjust to the format will stamp his authority on whatever brand of cricket he is asked to play. So him succeeding this IPL is not exactly a big thing to me coz I kinda expected it. But I know and expect that there will posts, articles and blogs outlining exactly why Sachin is the best since Bradman because of his success in IPL is some kind of a clincher... My advise is, they exist everywhere.. Get used to ignoring them.
They aren't saying it because he did well in the IPL.
It's because in 12 months he has dominated test, ODI and now T20 cricket. All after playing 20 years of international cricket!
That's not fanboyism, that's appreciating a ****ing fantastic player!

Whatever it takes!!!
nah, I did not mean here at CW at all mate.. But try reading some pieces and listening to some of my friends/colleagues/cousins here.. They will all declare that Sachin is the best since Bradman (and in some cases, the best ever) because he has now proved he is awesome in T20s too....

It's a toughie. I will read this thread when I have more time because the question intrigues me and I think it will be interesting reading.
I really can't separate them in tests though I love watching Dravid bat much more. Kallis in T20 has been a revelation though and if I have to choose a player for all formats of the game I would go for Kallis.

In tests i would certainly prefer Dravid over the whole period of his career.
In ODI's and T20'S I would have Kallis .
As a overall Cricketer this is a no-contest.Kallis by a fair distance.
I have to say i have noticed on a few threads here that these Comparison threads generally get affected a lot by the performance in the very recent past of the players.i.e the form of the player over the last 2-3 years or even less.
