Sachin is great for only INDIANS who madly worship him. When compared with the list mentioned above, Sachin stands nowhere. At the most he can be included as 12th man, for the chap who plays for records and commercials and nothingelse.

Well its very difficult to select Sachin Tendulkar (or for that matter any other modern great like Ponting, Kallis or Lara) in a all time world XI. Look at who Sachin is competing against for a middle order slot :
1. Don Bradman - unquestionably the greatest batsman ever 2. Garry Sobers - undobtedly the greatest all rounder ever (8032 runs @ 57.78 and 235 wickets in 93 tests) 3. Viv Richards - the most agressive batsman the world has ever seen (had 90 plus strike rate in limited overs cricket in 70s and 80s when 4 runs per over was considered outstanding). Also, one of the finest players of fastbowling and one of the hardest to dismiss. These 3 would easily walk into anybody's all time world XI. The only modern day great cricketer who can walk into an all time world XI is probably Kallis - that too largely because of his all round abilities

Raman,even if you made such a list of only great Indian cricketers then I am sure Shrikant,Vishvanath,Prasanna,Venkatraghavan,Balaji,T.shekhar,srisant,VVS Laxman,Shiv Ram Krishnan,Venkatpathi Raju and sudhakar Rao from your motherland would be the first elevan players.Gavaskar and Tendulkar would probably make 12th and 13th positions,but I am not sure.
I have very carefully omitted Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid from this list to give deserving representation to the south zone players,as these two are outsiders.
