It is anybody's guess with even a whisker not separating them but I have taken into account Sachin's dominance at the top for such a prolonged period.No cricketer had longevity at such a stature  as Sachin and arguably no batsmen faced as much pressure.I would not envisage Bradman overshadowing Tendular in all formats of the game or against the turning ball.Bradman was not tested fully against spin and was exposed to an extent in bodyline.Personally I feel Viv would have destroyed pace more than Bradman.Viv was more talented and more of a match winner but it is Sachin who was the ultimate epitome of consistency and more complete.

I have always considered Thala to be an ODI ATG. It's another thing he has mostly been poor post-2015 but his achievements till 2013 can't be denied.

As a keeper Boucher was technically better than both Dhoni and Gilly even though he never kept against quality spin. Also played some clutch knocks even though just like every sa great he was a choker too.

 

ABDV was not a choker in tests

 

He's Arguably a better test bat than LOI one...check out the top 10 or 15 highest 4 innings chases he must be the only batsman to have played a key role in two of them...
