Anwar was devastating for a period, and his innings of 194 could be considered as one of the great, but comparing the body of work that is Sachin, he won't even come close.

My personal ranking :
1 Tendulkar
1A Viv Richards

2 Jayasuriya ( check longevity and consistency )
3 Ponting
4 Gilchrist
5 Bevan
i sort of agree...sachin = viv.

viv had a higher average, batted at least part of his career without helmets, had a killer strike rate.

sachin is a complete product, was solid from the tender age of 16-20, and then just out of this world for most of ages 20-36. to be able to do it that long is amazing, considering he's not of the most athletic build.
