Richard Hadlee vs Sachin Tendulkar

[subshakerz]

Unless you're actually analysing how a player's record in a country demonstrates a weakness in their game, there is no appreciable difference.

It's a weakness in their record though regardless of if it's a weakness in their game or not. Recognizing that is a first step and it can be justified depending on the context.

Hadlee’s bowling will win me more tests and vs each other i could see Hadlee doing better vs Sachin than vice versa. Plus I like how people give Hadlee props for carrying Nz in other comparisons but suddenly this doesn't come up here. Hadlee for me.

Even Holding's bowling will win more tests than Sachin. It's not a good criteria.

Hadlee has been effusive in his praise of Tendulkar and would probably rate him above himself (as he did Lillee):

Tendulkar says a few things about Hadlee in his 2014 autobiography "Playing It My Way: My Autobiography" (he's writing about the 1990 NZ tour here):
