no_quiero,
Sachin has been in International Cricket since 1989, and since 2002, he has been in and out of the game due to injuries and he's been struggling. He definitely has lost the spark, but when you judge Sachin you have to consider his entire period.

To me, Sachin and Lara are two players that can be taken in same breath. They both have their positives and negatives, their own signatures and styles, but they belong to the same zone. My personal preference is Sachin, but I do respect Lara as mush as Sachin.

Regarding Ravi Shastri and Sanjay Manjrekar, I don't pay an attention to them at all. The day Sachin scores some runs, they think Sachin is greater. And the day Lara scores some runs, they think Lara is greater. They just speak whatever fanatics like to hear on that particular day.

I am not measuring Sachin by the number of centuries, nor Lara by the no of double and triple centuries.

I dont like desi team at all. My favourite has always been S Afrifa. Kallis is my all time best. But Sachin and Lara are the ultimate. Some prefer Sachin and some prefer Lara. It depends on what style you prefer. For me I prefer Sachin. Thats all. I would never turn the TV off when Sachin is playing.
