Answer 3

99.99% of all current as well as ex-players dead or alive considers Tendulkar to be the greatest batsman of all time. The holy book of cricket WISDEN rates him as the second greatest batsman of all time both in Test matches and ODI.

Who's better, Tendulkar or Lara ? Have a look below at this article published in todays Times Of India Mumbai edition. It's an interview of Lara.


Sachin's the greatest, says Lara


Mumbai: With true greatness, comes a certain humility.

One of the raging- some would say unresolved- debates in cricket for years has resolved around the question of who's the world's best batsman, Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara ?

In Lara's mind, though, there's no room for doubt - Sachin, he says, is the best. To be even spoken of in the same breath is, for him, a huge compliment. No matter that Lara's the highest run-getter in Test history with a record that's superior to Tendulkar's: not only has he more runs to his credit, he has done it in fewer matches, although he have played more innings than Tendulkar, plus Tendulkar averages more than Lara (Tendulkar on the other hand, is the best of one-dayers).

"You know genius when you see it, and let me tell you, Sachin is pure genius. If my son were to ask me who he should try and emulate, Sachin or me, I'd tell him, Sachin." the well spoken, articulate 37-year-old West Indian captain told Times Of India during an informal conversation at the water-front residence of the Rulas (of Essar fame) on Thursday night.

There's a look of genuine admiration in his eyes and on his face when he says, " I haven't seen Bradman or George Headley. Sachin is the greatest batsman I've seen." Vivan Richards too was great, but by the time Lara came into the West Indian team, the King was in the last lap of his career. he learnt a lot from Richards. "Sometimes he would abuse me, but next morning I'd be on his tail again," says Lara, smiling. "I knew there was a lot I could learn from him."

Answer 4

Though has scored more number of runs in test cricket as compared to Sachin, I consider Sachin the best considering the
following facts:

1) Sachin has played less number of test matches as
compared to Lara. If he had played the same number of
Test Match as Lara played, he would have become the
highest run getter in test cricket also.

2) He has scored most centuries in Test Cricket as well
as in ne Day Internationals and it will be very difficult
for any player to break these records in the years to
come.

3) Sachin has scored more runs in one day Internationals
as compared to any other batsman.

4) He is a utility player as he can be used as a bowler also
when team needs.

Answer 5

Brian Charles Lara is the best. No question at all. Looking at the stats is a waste of time.....Lara has sheer class and style which sachin lacks.

Answer 6

Lara may have better technique, but all that is past in cricket. The fervour which Sachin bats with- is unmatched. Leave aside the statisics..Ask anyone whom out of the two they would like to watch playing..the answer is clear- Sachin..

Answer 7

Can't guess both are world class players but sachin is better than Lara in ODIs.

Answer 8

Both r Bestest but Lara is one step ahead of Sachin.

Answer 9

see Lara's comments in today's newspaper "The Times of India" Mumbai edition, he himself claimed Sachin is the best.

Answer 10

This is a question that needs to be answered without looking at the stats,cos they are misleading.sachin has made more runs than Lara to be sure but were they valuable-check out his average against australia -in australia.Lara has played most of his career in a test side that is at best woeful and coming in at 3 or 4 ,he usually ends up opening the innings ,and regularly scored runs with wickets falling all around him.If you need a bloke to save a game ,Lara is streaks ahead.
