Singh Is King
School Boy/Girl Cricketer
As many pub debates I've had with my cricket team about the 2nd best batsman of all time (majority agree Bradman is the best) (usually about 14 drunk English guys lol) the vast majority say Sachin is better than Lara. I for one literally go back and forth with who I think is better out of the 2, but his statistics do make me favour Sachin now. Anyways, Sachin is a gentleman, very kind and polite from what we have seen on TV... But for the debate of who is a more of a true Gent lol hats of to Lara for saying what he did:
"Tendulkar has had the greatest cricket career of anyone who has ever played the game," said Lara.
Lara, 44, and Tendulkar have similar records, with Lara averaging just under 53 in his 131 Tests and Tendulkar a fraction over 53.
Tendulkar last year became the only batsman in history to score 100 international centuries, and he will become the first man to play 200 Tests.
"The impact he has had on his game, his country, the rest of the world is incredible," added Lara, who scored 11,953 Test runs.
"His stats speak for themselves," continued Lara. "I don't think there is any 16-year-old who is going to embark on the sort of career that Sachin Tendulkar has had and walk away from the game at 40 with such great achievements.
"He's the Muhammad Ali and the Michael Jordan of cricket. You think of the great boxers and basketball players, but if you were to talk about the game then you would have to talk about Sachin."
