Sobers ( Just below Sunil Gavaskar, Just above Sachin Tendulkar)

Wait I worded it wrong, I didn't mean who you have at #3 in your all time list, but instead who you think should be #3 in the list after Bradman and Hobbs. So you can change your vote to Gavaskar if you think he's better than Sobers. I'll change the wording.

Don’t know how one can compare Hobbs and Hutton with post-uncovered players such as Viv and Sachin. I doubt any living person saw both Hobbs and Sachin for example. So, any meaningful comparison is impossible.

These lists should be separate for covered vs uncovered wicket eras IMO.

If any living person saw Hobbs play they would have seen Sachin too.

But just as an example of a non living person Bradman saw plenty of both

Sunil Gavaskar
Slightly Better than Sobers and Sachin.

I don't think even the boomer crowd who would have fanboyed around his time truly believe that Sunny > Sachin (though different opening positions and all).
