As much as I admire Tendulkar, who averaged 58 in the 90s era. He is a complete, organised batsman who can play against any bowling, in all conditions.
Tendulkar did play against McGrath, Warne, Donald, Pollock, Ambrose, Walsh, Wasim, Waqur, Murali as too Lara (except Ambrose, Walsh).
Steyn, Anderson.
However he didn't average that high against Donald and played Wasim, Waqur in 99 past their peak.
His record in Sri Lanka isn't that impressive.
As for Lara,
When he scores, he scores big.
We all know how many 200s, two highest scores, 182 in Australia.
However, his average isn't too high against Donald.
His blemish is, he never scored a hundred against Donald, Wasim and Waqur. He never faced Ambrose and Walsh.
He wasn't too consistent.
