Tendulkar developed his techniques over the years and got better while Lara was naturally gifted and talented player. If you compare early years of cricket for Lara and Sachin, lara was way ahead. Then Tendulkar got slightly ahead of lara in the middle of their careers and in the end of their careers lara was again ahead of sachin. Both are great players but I love to watch lara batting.

To score 277 against Australia in Australia in 1992/93 at the age of 23 is just mind blowing. No visiting batsman at such young age has ever done it. That innings just sums it up as the greatest batsman and was already a legend by then.

Sachin scored 100 in perth at the age of 17 years, no one has done that also. There is no choosing between both. Both are at the same pedesial. Sachin's career was in a rising imdian team, lara's was in delining west indian team. Sachin peaked earlier at the age of only 26 after that he stopped being aggressive. lara played same his whole career and was more dangerous, sachin was more consistent;lara was aggressive, sachin was like a cow. Lara was the better batsman of spin, sachin was better at playing pace and swing,

Lara was a genius with the bat. He played the game with flare and flamboyance. He was a match winner who never made a ugly hundred. He was an entertainer who changed the face of cricket. The guy was head and shoulder above all. Ask McGrath and Murali

SACHIN TENDULKAR ENTERTAINED THE CRICKETING WORLD FOR THE FIRST 12 YEARS WHICH EVEN LARA CANNOT MATCH.HE ENTERTAINED THE 150 billion people with his dominant batting prowess against top bowlers even lara was not able to do that in the 90s what sachin did

Brian Lara is a wonderful, wonderful batsman to watch and is right up there with the best of the best. Stats alone cannot begin to rate how good a batsman he was. If one would recall there were lots of turmoil taking place in WI cricket during his career yet he possessed that nerve of steel and high levels of concentration to score tons and tons of runs. I shudder to think what could have been in more player friendly environment. So as for the debate which one of these players is the best it dependsof the "yard stick" used. However I would not venture to pick one over the other as they're in different class all by themselves. The both of them are so exciting to watch.

There were some phenomenal batsmen around during Lara’s time.. what set Lara apart, imo, was his ability to react to the situation of a game or to someone sledging him and just take control of it.. in that sense, he could impose himself on a game and change the flow like a fast bowler does when he gets angry or fires up for a brutal spell.. and once Lara got in that mode, it felt like the opposition was virtually powerless to do anything about it.. even those great Australian attacks were like side acts a couple of times when Lara decided it was all on his shoulders or when someone said something to piss him off.. not many, if any, other world class batsmen were in that same mould where they could just flick a switch and bully and demoralise a bowling side like Lara could

Brian was such a flambouyant batsman.Also the best player of spin.He was simply a true genius. What an entertainer!!.

​@NatureNomad61 Bradman did not have to face the types of quality fast bowling that entered the cricket arena from the 50s onwards. One fast bowler,Harold Larwood, cut his batting average in half,what do do think would have happened if Bradman had to confront 4 fast bowlers? He certainly would not have finalised career with 99.

Very sincere and thoughtful review and tribute to Lara, as a Trinidadian and West-Indian, thank you

Brian Charles Lara for certain!!!!

In my opinion the greatest test batsman ever. For the most of his career he played in a team in misery. If not his average and the performances would have been much much better. Undoubtably the most lalented batsman I have seen. He is the finest artist when it comes to the art of battting. Can watch him for hours and hours . It never gets boring.

I'd much rather watch Lara, complete entertainer! He carried a nation on his own.

Simply the best.... Better than all the rest.

I admire Sachin Tendulkar technIque and stroke production. His records might be broken but when in full flow his batting was delight to watch! WI batters are dynamic for sure but Ind batters captivate me with their elegance and class. So easy to the eye.. happy watching...

His observation was correct.My brother was on the Jamaican School Boys cricket squad.

Lara's greatest match was in 1992/93 when he scored 277 runs. He was on track to breaking the record for the most runs in test cricket when he was unfortunately run out trying to sneak an impossible run. In that inning, he didn't give any chances. All shots were on the ground, through the gaps. This was incredible!

Lara hit the ball mercilessly.

Bowling is good now, easiest decade is 2000's, look at all the batsmen averaging over 50.Very hard in 70's to 90's.I remember in the 70's 150 was regarded as a huge score,Randall's 174 at centenary test is pretty standard now.

One is great right hander and the other great left hander but for me Viv is the best batter. See his videos without helmet he is batting next level shots what mind blowing strokes. Tests and ODIs he was goat in both formats. No body comes close to Viv. TechnIque wise Gavaskar was best opener as he needed to dig in against quality bowlers playing in an avg team but overall complete dominant game was Viv something else...

The greatest Test batsman that I have ever seen play.

Lara had the deepest bag has a batsman:cover drive,on drive, late cut,coming down the ground,hook shot, pull shot,sweep shot,off the legs.

It is impossible to choose one between Sachin and Brian Lara. Both were equally good.

Lara was capable of playing anyone, anywhere, anytime. He dictated terms while at the crease. Everyone raves about his stroke play and elegance which is, of course, unparalleled. In my view, one of his greatest innings was against India at St. Lucia test in 2006. Lara was so restrainful and scored a slowest century in the 4th innings to force a draw from a near certain defeat. If one wants to witness Lara's concentration and his ultra defensive side, his batting in the 4th innings would put even Dravid to shame on a rank turning track. Nothing is more aesthetically pleasing to the sight than see Lara play a defensive stroke with a 360-degree backlift.

West Indies players had no pressure on them, Indian players did. And one more thing Sachin never got to face weak Indian bowling attack and Lara never faced deadly West Indies bowling attack. Also bowlers have more arsenal for right handers. Both Murali and Warne had success against right handers. Being a left handed batsman is an advantage in itself. I rate Sachin higher.

Brian Lara is the all time greatest left handed batsman in Test Cricket

There's no comparison between Lara and anyone else, not even Sir Vivian Richards. Each player, like every individual on earth, is uniquely different. Tendulkar, has his own uniqueness When we seek to compare people, someone gets short changed. Lara, having the extra pressure of carrying the team single handedly, must be considered. Yet he performed with such poise, ingenuity, brilliance, and courage. This has placed him in a league of his own.

Lara was love child of a tradition that was fan boy of West Indian cricket. A great batsman indeed, but still protected by lesser scrutiny ,providing umbrella cover to his impact as a batsman. Just take an example … Lara hitting century against Australia in his home ground is considered one of the best. However, Sachin’s knocks in his home country are dismissed as subpar. Whereas, in fact Lara was less successful while batting overseas. In Australia his average is 41 while Sachin is way ahead. Similarly in England too his average is some 800 bp below Sachin. But predisposition conquers rationality so good luck 😅

Brian Lara, there's only one entertainer

Brian. Is the best ever . If he played test cricket as early as Sachin, he would have scored double his amount of runs .

In my opinion, the classiest stroke player was Gary Sobers; the most explosive hitter and most confident batsman was Sir Viv, and the rarest combination of stroke playing and century-making is B. C. Lara - and will put Sachin among them.

Brian Lara is my number one
