If you consider test cricket-gavaskar,lara,sachin and ponting are up there with the later three running closely for supremacy.even though at this stage lara is a notch ahead of sachin(thanks to sachins poor form and injuries) and ponting will get up there and might as well surpass lara in terms of records(if he still continues his current form).But as you never know of sachin.in test cricket,its a close contest. if you take One day cricket,sachin is way ahead of lara,ponting,inzamam,gilchrist and others.So if you love ODI,you will love sachin,if you love TESTs you will watch for all three but if you love cricket in general,then sachin is right on top of the rest.
u people r crazy!!!!!!!!!

hey u indians !!!!!! dont be so sentimental n optimistic n fanatical!! do u ppl watch how the so called best batsmen sachin plays these days...he gets out to very ordinary bowlers so cheaply as if he has never known batting(not to talk of mcgrath n co)...there is a definite change to his attitude.. he may say that its for the teams interest n bull shit.. but the matter of fact is he is afraid to take on top bowlers like mcgrath n pollock... look at some of te players of his age.. lara.. for example..he was aggressive n will be aggressive..he always bats in 4th gear with no compromise in techmique..its still so beautiful n graceful..look at inzy,yousuf,ponting(who will surely surpass sachin),kallis...they all r as powerful as they used to be.. sachin simply produces crazy excuses for his incompetancy..if u see the statistics who will know wat im trying to say.. got out 7 times of mcgrath..9 times to vaas.. 5 times to pollock n 5 times to akram..n 4 to donald..that shows his haplessness agains really fast n quality bowling...shame on u sachin...n r tooted as the greatest batsmen of this era..but im sure u r not that great..
