Balbhadra what do you mean by GO AND SUPPORT THOSE DARIWAL MUSALMAN ATANKABADIS. Stop being racist and call muslims as a terrorist. and just watch the match from a neutral prospective. Seems like sachin supporters are greatly hurt. But fact is fact. And what can lara alone do. Do you know in one test in srilank lara scroed over 450 runs and still was on losing side. That is second highest total in one test match by individual batsman ever. Tell me how many times has sachin scored over 450 runs in one whole series. Compare lara's 34 century with sachins 35 and the difference will be clearly visible. Sachin has never played an innings like 153* in bridgetown or 213 in jamaica to win matches. And you know what sachin has failed to dominate consistently for last half a decade and it is the fact. Go and check the rankings sachin is not even in top 20 players in the world. Give me a break. He has been most of the time out of top 10 for last four five years. Lara has always been in top 10 and more regularly in number 1, 2, 3. Remember a test where rahul dravid was forced to declare the innings when sachin was on 194* where sachin was batting at a snails pace to reach 200. Compare that to lara who equaled the world record of hayden with a six. Difference is clearly visible. Even Kallis a Dravid scores like sachin. What makes ponting and lara among others for last few years is the ability to dicatate the proceeding of the test match and dominate the bowlers. Lara has scored world record 28 runs and 26 runs in an over. Yeah true , sachin probably plays better against bangladesh and zimbabwe and scores not out innings like 248* and 201* to bloat his average. Compare that to lara's 9 double hundred all have come against stronger opposition.
