SRT is not a lot better than LAra never has been. In odis maybe but tests never!!!Tendulkar is alot better than Lara
He has got both a better test and ODI record than Lara
The only place where Lara is better than Tendulkar is in getting big test scores
Overall :
1. Tendulkar
2. Lara
3. Ponting
4. Jayasuriya
I agree that Lara has pulled off some rescue acts, that probably will never be emulated but lets look at something here. Why is it so hard to imagine that a batsman with a higher average than you (not by virtue of not outs) can be accepted as being on par with you, let alone better than you?SRT is not a lot better than LAra never has been.

Sieg Heil.I agree that Lara has pulled off some rescue acts, that probably will never be emulated but lets look at something here.

I never stated that Lara was inferior as a batsman to SRT I just took exception someone stating that he was "a lot better" which obviously in tests SRT is notI agree that Lara has pulled off some rescue acts, that probably will never be emulated but lets look at something here.

I think this is the important thing for me. You can choose your corner and fight it, but at the end of the day there's not a lot in it between such quality players. Really it comes down to personal preference.That's just in your estimation, though. There's absolutely nothing in his stats that puts him a rung below richards or a rung above ponting. If you, subjectively, feel that he is a better player than Ponting or worse player than Richards, that's fine, but people are allowed to disagree with equally valid subjective rationales.

"In ODIs maybe?"
Not maybe. Sachin is/was a far better ODI batsman than Lara. That's a fact really.
Ah, apologies. Misread your post.I just took exception someone stating that he was "a lot better" which obviously in tests SRT is not
ha ha. mrs. lara has looked more attractive on big occasions, I agree. but mrs. tendulkar has looked good for longer. if the former is ***ier, the later is a more classical beauty. therefore, brian lara's style = sachin tendulkar's classical orthodoxyHotter wife, therefore Lara >> Tendulkar.
It's not about who is more beautiful, it's about who you'd rather furgle. hahaha ha. mrs. lara has looked more attractive on big occasions, I agree. but mrs. tendulkar has looked good for longer. if the former is ***ier, the later is a more classical beauty. therefore, brain lara's style = sachin tendulkar's classical orthodoxy
Agree with the over all picture..despite scoring less runs and centuries compared to tendulkar, brian has his nose ahead of sachin in test matches on two counts: more monumental knocks (400*, 375, 277) and more epic performances (series in SL, 153* against Aus). But if you take ODIs into account then sachin more than nullifies that advantage with more match winning knocks and better average/quicker scoring rate.
it should be 50.05 sachin - 49.95 lara
