sachin biggest after sir don. hahaha.  Sachin isnt fit enough to tie the boot of brain lara. Who is sachin. A batsman whose one double century started with zimbabwe and ended with Bangladesh and that too not out to bloat his average. Lara never hit double century against minnows.

Forget about it.  Brain lara is colossus figure. His records are not built up by playing 100 s and 100s of test matches. He retired from test cricket on high with a double hundred and a hundred plus a demolition of the bowler for 26 runs in one over. Lara could have played for few more years and still would have scored heavily.

If lara plays similar number of test to sachin you can almost guarantee he will end up having similar records, centuries and runs.  However, even after playing million years sachin cannot gurantee he can break the record of 400, 375, or 28 runs in an over, or 26 runs in an over.  Thats where the difference between two players lies.

If tendulkar fan are so myopic that they dont even regard ponting then it is baseless to argue with them now. Because even by playing a lot less matches ponting record is better than tendulkar.
