Brett Lee rates Tendulkar above Lara

[velu]

i thought discussion about better player..not about whether sachin inings deserves in wisden top 100 :haha:

thats another metric .. sachin is up there only bcoz of his consistency :giggle: sachin is a great batsmen without playing any great innings :fishing:

[velu]

I think most Australian and England players have won more Ashes than Tendulkar.

dont spoil the fun :winky:

[MCcricket]

To me Sachin overall the best batsmen, especially if you compare his odi record with Lara but as a pure test bat and a match winner Lara is more valuable, more stylish, aggressive and more fun to watch.

Its no surprise that a great batsman picks Lara and a great bowler (not Lee but McGrath, Wasim, Warne,etc) pick Tendulkar. Lara batted like how most batsmen would love to bat: he was every bit as destructive as Richards but not with brute force, he did it with silken grace and pizzazz. his high angled bat, coming down like a gillotine and the followthrough- so graceful. The tip, tap of his footwork, he was sometimes dancing in perfect balance while playing his shots. Tendulkar on the other hand, batted like how most bowlers's nightmares are made of. No weaknesses. Perfect defence, can bash with the best of them and go psycho aggressive. economy of movement. Tendulkar's style was more demoralizing for the bowlers because he never seemed like getting out till he got out. Lara always gave you hope because Lara was a notoriously dodgy starter. Oh and both would easily make my top test and ODI team, without much consideration.

Nope this is cricinfo's all time XI http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/magazine/alltime_composite.html No Lara but Sachin is there This is Wisden's all time XI http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/don-bradman-and-shane-warne-named-in-wisdens-alltime-xi-20131024-2w2fp.html No Lara but Sachin is there with Shane Warne being the only other modern great This is Bradman's dream XI team http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/1488685.stm Sachin is the only modern great to make it to the XI This is Richie's Benaud's XI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Benaud's_Greatest_XI Sachin is there but no Lara In fact, in my memory, only Bird's all time XI does not include Sachin and he does not include Bradman either.

Don't know which forum but some fanatic ( not MTC ) was arguing cricket is a team game and who doesn't agree r stupids.. Someone yorked bybringing in then why do we have man of the match n series :giggle: And sachinstas r the most sensitive bunch ( even bottle cap dealers r better ) and generally lacks any sense of sarcasm ( except s=g) .. The way our guys reacted to Jonathan lewi`s article is simply mind boggling
