Shane Warne rates Tendulkar over Lara because Tendulkar has got the better of him far more often, whereas Murali rates Lara over Tendulkar because Lara has got the better of him far more often. I think they are pretty close, with Lara being a little better. Uses his feet like no one can.FaaipDeOiad said:Well, Shane Warne disagrees. Suffice to say that it is close between the two of them in terms of playing spin bowling. They're both incredibly good and far better than Ponting in that regard.
I'd take Lara over Tendulkar against quality pace bowling every time though, especially on a wicket with some life.
But its almost common knowledge that in their primes, Tendulkar was better at facing pace bowling, even if by only a little. Can't quite see why you'd rather Lara.
Even McGrath says he'd bowl to Lara everytime rather than Sachin, Tendulkar's technique is brilliant against the pacemen.
