Gunner_Mania Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 This thread is heading in another pointless discussion. Go look around the board you will find scores and scores of thread debating the same thing and using similar statistics. Please use those threads to continue your debate rathern than another thread. The mods should perhaps mege this into another one of the Sachin V/s xyz thread. Link to comment

hari504504 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I would rate Lara and Tendulkar at joint second. I enjoy watching Lara's batting just as much as I love Tendulkar's. A lot more flair in Lara's batting- magnificent footwork !!..Tendulkar is just pure elegance !! hard to rank these two apart Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 ummm...you clearly did not read what I wrote' date=' old chap, I said that most people, apart from Tendulkar Worshippers, would put the Don above Tendulkar...after that it is a matter of opinion, Waugh's is one opinion, and I respect his opinion, but do not necessarily, and don't, have to share in it.[/quote'] I will put Lara below Rahul Dravid. That is my opinion :) Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Lara is just a selfish git who accumulated 15% of his test urns on one single ground where every tom , dick and harry made runs for fun. He is way below Tendulkar in every respect. I am far away from being Sachin worshipper. Link to comment
SachDan Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Certainly' date= having seen all three live, I derived the more pleasure out of watching them, and thought them to be the more skilled...why am I not allowed to come to this conclusion - it is not wrong, just as you thinking Tendulkar (please do not call someone you do not know by their first name!) to be the best is equally valid. However i do not see why there is so much agression towards me for this opinion. Tendulkar is, after all, only another human no more important than you or I - I fail to understand why there is this worship about him - it strikes me as something children do, or old and backward cultures such as Ancient Greece. Kallis more skilled batsman than Sachin ? :hysterical::hysterical: Even Kallis would find it hard not to laugh if he happens to read your ****ing post :hysterical: Link to comment
