What is Sobers advantage against the other two?
tho, he is more successful against ATG bowlers he faced than the other two, he is more consistent than Smith but has one less ATG away tour, I don't think Smith's output would be anywhere near Sobers by the time Smith retires. Sachin respectfully is just longevity, which I put under Greatness as a Cricketer and not batting quality once you meet a threshold.

Won't say he dominated Murali, Murali only really got good around 1998 when he bowled that Oval Spell, after that Sachin averages 33 in games with Murali in 12 games, Murali got him 6/18 after 98. Warne and Steyn are fair enough. I said Sobers is more dominant against great fast bowling and that's factual, I never commented on Sachin vs Smith against elite bowling.

Sachin figures vs murali got hurt by 05 home series(when he was at his lowest point in his career) and 08 sl tour ( sachin got out to mendis not Murali) otherwise pretty good
