BRIAN LARA HAS BEEN IN A LOSING SIDE OF A TEST MATCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER TEST CRICKETER. Does that mean he is not a great player. There are 11 players in a team. 4-5 bowlers & 6-7 batsmen. If Tendulkar scores a century and the bowlers bowl like sh*t ( happened many times in the nineties), what the hell can he do. same thing has happend to Lara in the past decade. Go ahead and check the records---how many tests have WI won in the past decade. In my opinion, Tendulkar and Lara, along with Ponting are the best cricketers of this era and Ian Chappel is talking sh*t.
