Sachin is better by a clear margin overall but they’re contemporaries and I can see why one would prefer the other. Lara clear advantage in big runs, series, monster smashing innings etc

Tendulkar won this match with his batting and bowling. Lara never managed that. (neither did Kallis clearly)
Um...how do I break this to you?

No way, Lara went big more than Tendulkar?

Let's rephrase the Question.

Context:
You want to win a match, not just play a match.
Q:
Who would you select out of Lara & Sachin?
