Prabhat, I like your post comparing Lara and Sachin.  Both of these are great batsmen and will be on my top 5, but many who put  Sanjaya Maanjekar, Jack Kalis, Mark Waugh, Laxam on their to but no Sachin should really watch some of his mid 90’s innings and late 90’s innings when he punished Shane Warne.  Love him or hate him he is one the greatest Cricket World has ever seen.
