MELBOURNE: An Economics researcher claims to have found an answer to one of the biggest debates in international cricket by picking Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest Test batsman ever over late Australian legend Sir Donald Bradman.

"Griffith University researcher Dr Nicholas Rohde has used economic theory to compare batsmen from different eras, and says India's Little Master, who will pad up against the Aussies at the MCG on Boxing Day, is history's premier willow wielder," reported 'The Australian'.

The 38-year-old Tendulkar has a world-record 15,183 runs from 184 Tests at an average of 56.02 since making his debut in 1989.

Bradman, on the other hand, played 52 Tests from 1928 to 1948, scoring 6996 runs at an astonishing average of 99.94. He died in 2001 aged 92.

Dr Rohde said a theoretical analysis puts Tendulkar above Bradman.

"The rankings are designed to allow for meaningful comparisons of players with careers of different lengths," Dr Rohde said.

"It's an emotional issue and there will always be debate between followers of Test cricket about the relative career performances of various batsmen," he added.

The rankings by the researcher have been created according to a player's career aggregate runs, minus the total number of runs that an average player of that era would accumulate over the same number of innings.

Allan Border (seven) and Steve Waugh (nine) are the other Australian batsmen in the top 10. Rahul Dravid (fourth) and Sunil Gavaskar (eighth) are the other Indians in the list.

Dr Rohde said it was possible that Tendulkar and Bradman could swap their places many times before the Indian retires as a dip in form would affect his standing.

Sachin is great player and individual. The only thing for which i hate him is that he was a devotee of sai baba
 
I am one of the very rare few Indians who do not consider Sachin as a God or Legend.
Sachin and Bradman are of two different eras, the style of play, the rules and the conditions are different.

The best cricketer India has ever produced till date is still "Kapil Dev", he is the real deal and a winner. Sachin is 2nd best.

Don't know Imran bhai.. i feel like he will not become a coach.. may be he will own a IPL team . :D nyway i dont think he will become a good coach.. great players rarely become good coach.. but it will be nice if he is there as a selector/batting consultent..

Buddy researcher has taken care of all these factors and has come to this conclusion.. Kapil Dev is the best allrounder India has ever produced.. With Imran khan Playing at the same time we had a luxurey to watch both greats.. But sachin is different league and only other person in that is Sir Don..

Man,sachin being god is just symbolic or metaphoric!
 
Sachin is a god?? really ?? if a man hitting sixes and four then he become god?? nowadays Indian youths turning into stupid population they worshiping sportsmans ,actors ,actresses I don't where it gng to ending. Actually people not able to differentiate between reel and real they taking decision based on emotions. Even GOI behave like fools best eg trying to issue BR for sachin.
