The best of the best

Ten years of total domination have yielded a glittering array of centuries -- 21 in Tests, 24 in ODIs.

It is difficult to pick, from among that lot, five innings in each form of the game that stand out from the rest -- but that is what I am attempting here.

Everyone loves making lists -- this one, thus, is not the definitive list of Tendulkar's great innings, but merely the starting point for debate, discussion.

So now let's hear from you -- write back to us with your own Tendulkar lists: best hundreds, worst batting performances, best Man of the Match-winning performances... whatever intrigues you, is grist for your list mill. So send them along, let's put it up for other readers to read, debate, argue over, have fun with...
