Tendulkar is one of the greatest no doubt but I'm not sure hez the best match winner of even his own era. It could be argued that Lara, Punter and maybe even Inzi were better finishers than him. The match in question here exemplifies my point. The little master played a gem of an innings to get his team to a comfortable 332/6 with 18 needed from 17 balls with no other recognized batsman to follow, yet he cudn't finish it off for his team.

No such argument can be made about a certain Mr. Brad. If he played in this era where we have a) pitches taylor made for batsmen, b) shorter boundaries, c) restriction on bouncers, d) inclusion of so called minnows, I'd back him to score at avg of 150+
