Hmmmmm tough one this. Lee's likeable as far as scumbags I mean Aussies go, and Tendulkar's likeable but SOME of his fans are the most tedious and ******** people alive. Not his fault, though.

Gonna go with Lee

Not Terrible
Tendulkar, his fans can grind my gears at times but I think hes the greatest player in the modern age. Long career and all the pressure of India on him, WAG.

Sachin Tendulkar

Easily.
Indian fans generally can be a tedious lot. But u have to remember with all the praise and affection they give on one side ,when things are not going your way they can be the most critical and openly defiant as well.
And having so many such fans and to handle them and ready to pounce critics for so long is a remarkable achievment.
Tendulkar has been booed in his home ground ,had puppets burn of him ,been hailed as god and enjoyed immense popularity and fame along with the monetary aspects and none of that has affected his personality or his game to a large extent for more than two decades. And coming from a humble background that is some achievement.
