Diffen > Brian Lara vs Sachin Tendulkar

the biggest weekness i can say with tendulkar is that he needs partnerships to stay on the pitch, if the playes on the non striking end are not being able to form partnerships, he tends to give his wicket. few times it happened that other batsmen failed to perform and Tendullkar put a good score, it happeded most of the time only when he was well supported. i think here Lara stand better, he played some memorable innings and sailed single handedly, with no support form other side and west indies cricket was just shadow of itself. at the same time he also managed pressure of leading the team and constant conflicts with the team management. if it was not the decline of west indies cricket and supported well i think he would have been such a batsmans where there exist no place of him being compared with any other batsman of the contemporary cricket....

lara is of cource great as he had lead such a loose team from past 10 years and no support of the tem mates , also he is a perfect match winner player he lead his team to many victory .Moreover Sachin is also a fabulous players and he has scored many centuries and runs but in my opinion sachin is bigger than lara in terms of records but perfect player and match winner is lara only.

Lara has great batting class compared to sachin he can over play his natural game in any situation , if windies situation was not that much poor in the 95's to 2006. then he may show his natural game as at that situation due to intence pressure and failure of the team mates and captaincy pressure led him to not able to play his natural game .Sachin is also a great players but in my eyes Match winner is Lara only.

Tendulkar is GOD.. Lara a mere mortal..

Lara has big scores vs big teams carring the west Indese on his back. I always felt he should not have been captain then there would not been any wondering who's better. A man carring a load vs a man man with free hands then to me Tendulkar's record should have been greater. Tendulkar was captain, did he not fail? what he did give it up.

Lara has the bigger scores, tendulkar more batting support

lara can bat even in tough situation like when Wi lost many wickets in the middle but you can rely on lara that he will bail you out, sachin can,t play like that in pressure situation

lara can handle the

No Doubt, It's Lara, He played cricket under tremendous pressure, He will be in the crease when the scores read like 20/2 or 20/3, from that he has to carry on, whereas Sachin has got so much of Batting support in his team and he plays his natural game... His 153* against Australia was his best innings i have ever seen, scored almost 60 runs with Ambrose & walsh, Definitely Lara is the big match winner. Hat's off to this evergreen crickter.
