Sachin
Tendulkar has been nominated as one of the top 10
batsmen in the history of the sport by an Australian newspaper at
Sydney. Tendulkar figures a spot below Sunil Gavaskar who is
ranked in a list of the 10 greatest batsmen compiled by New South
Wales selector Neil Marks for the Sun Herald.
The list goes as follows :
| No. | Name | Country |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sir Don Bradman | Australia |
| 2 | Sir Garfield Sobers | West Indies |
| 3 | Victor Trumper | Australia |
| 4 | Len Hutton | England |

| 6 | Greg Chappel | Australia |
| 7 | Neil Harvey | Australia |
| 8 | Everton Weekes | West Indies |
| 9 | Sunil Gavaskar | India |
| 10 | Sachin Tendulkar | India |
"At the end of the 1990s, when the game is more universal than it's ever been, he is the world's most feared batsmen", the paper said of Tendulkar.
The paper listed timing, eye and ability to hit the good ball for four as Tendulkar's strengths. Batsmen were selected for their stroke-making ability, influence on their cricketing generation, length of career and popularity.
