Just want to point out like others on here that there is really no comparsion to be made. The biggest problem is time difference. There are many more fans of Sachin because he is a present day batsman. So he will get more of the vote regardless. Kind of like asking whos you favourite actor Cary Grant or Brad Pitt, ofcourse more people will vote for Brad Pitt. Your technology therory is flawed and interesting how you did not bother to comment on this but post about some poll you found. You seem a bit blinkered in trying to make Sachin the best. The only way to really tell is to wait 50 years and then ask. Im not in either camp to be honest and completely neutral by the way. I just find it a flawed vote and your technology comment also flawed, sorry.
Be it 50yr or a 100 year wait,A legend remains A Legend.Don Bradman is still remembered as a legend .even the same implies for sachin tendulkar. .The Man who has broken most records that any player in the cricketing world.will always remain fresh in every cricket fans memory.Interestingly the poll was Conducted in Australia (Don bradman's country) and not in India. check this thread. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2038775
