Tendulkar owned 90s without a doubt. He played some astonishing orthodox class batting against top class bowlers under heavy and I mean "HEAVY" pressure that even the great Sir Don Bradman wouldn't have had to undertake. Such immense responsibility and the whole country behind a single 'little master', he carried the burden of his coutry, expectations of billions and perform he did, quite splendidly, if I might add. I mean there was a time when he fell, that was it for India. Who could dispatch McGrath effortlessly, Warne mercilessly, Donald crushingly and Walsh, Ambrose and Akram technically.

The deteriorating run of form after the two 00's kicked in, everyone started questioning his ability, but forgot the wonder years of a class act that even the great Warne said,

"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player"

We're talking about the greatest and the most feared leg-spinner in the history of cricket giving such statement should speak volumes of his ability. He comes next to Don on being the greatest batsman to grace the game.
