The site introduces The Buddha thus -

Cricket's greatest-ever batsman (partisans for Don Bradman can cavil until the cows come home) is still reaching new highs: he recently became the first player to reach 100 scores of 100 in international play. The "ton of tons" came a full year after his 99th, leading some to wonder whether Tendulkar was slowing down. That's nonsense, and now that the acknowledged pressure to reach 100 is off, he's likely to cut loose — a terrifying prospect for opponents, but a terrific one for lovers of the sport.
Bradman bhakts can cavil....lol what an appropriate term to describe them

They weren't even close to top a few days ago. Wont be surprised if they worked their way to top. :winky:
Any doubt? Look at Modi, 2nd place despite having the most no votes out of all candidates

Voted for Anonymous and Nitish Kumar. :D Other good contenders are Modi, Ron Paul, Sachin etc. but not sure they are that flawless to be voted. BTW why are Tata, Premji, Narayanmurthy etc. not in the list? Having said that, I am not sure how these people help. For example, last years' Times Poll the no.1 was the Egypt youth revolutionary Wael Ghonim but those youth who had freed the nation have now been marginalized by the Islamists who hardly joined the Egyptian revolution but are instead enjoying power at the cost of those modern youth who revolted again Mubarak.
