Dear indians, Please accept the fact that tendulkar is not all great, he can play againts the opponents like college team, Moreover, we have never witnessed a great gem of game that pulled india to remarkable win in world stages, True fact is that, he is totally waste and useless nut in the indian team
I know we being INDIANs tend to support Tendulkar blind folded but the fact remains to be seen that LARA is way up high than Tendulkar. He has single handedly won matches for WestIndies and he is very consistent and played the best bowlers with so easy than Tendulkar. We have to accept Tendulkar is always scared of the best bowlers in the team. One can easily predict that he is going to fall for McGrath, Pollock or Muralitharan. I dont think you can all anyone BEST just by the number of runs they scored.
RE:DEFINITELY ''NOT'' Lara is better than Tendulkar

Actually you self defeat your argument. It is Lara who has scored 300s and a 400 and a 500. Sachin has not scored even a 250. You are right. It is not about how many but just "HOW". Just look at the standing 'tall' upper cut to a rising delivery outside the off (Ala World Cup ODI vs Pakistan) and also just recently against South Africa, the sit down upper cut to not so rising delivery outside the off. Only geniuses come out with things like that. Then there will be lots who will follow. In the "How" department Sachin is the BEST after Bradman. I or anyone else should not profess to know better than Bradman. He did take Lara into consideration ( he specifically says so in his interview, if you have not watched it, please do so) when he called Sachin the best. Now,once and for ever, accept that Sachin IS THE BEST (until someone else arrives on the scene and that can happen anyday anytime any country in future ). If you don't like it, tough luck. It is not about your's or my liking. It is about expert opinion and none can be better than Bradman's.
