THE REASON WARNE SAID SACHIN IS BETTER I FIND LITTLE LUDICROUS. I AM GIVING ONE EXPAMPLE JUST FOR THE SAHKE OF ANOLOGY NOT FOR THE SHAKE OF ARGUMENT. Warne said " I place sachin very slightly ahead of Lara because I found him slightly tougher mentally. It is such a close call, but here is an example of what I mean: in Australia in 2003-04 he was worried about getting out cover driving so he decided to cut out the shot." I am sorry to say. That 241 was one of the most sorry, painful and slow double hundred i have ever seen. Sachin failed all the series and then made a double hundred scoring almost all the run on the leg side . TAKE THIS ANOLOGY. SIMILAR to Sachin, lara failed initail tests against australia in 2005-2006 ( needless to say 3 out of four times previously he was given out wrongly by his nemesis Rudi Koertzen of South Africa) . SIMILAR TO SACHIN, even he makes doulbe hundred in last test. Only difference is Lara, completely dominated the australian bowling bringing his double hundred in a one day style with the run rate of almost 5 runs an over with breathtaking array of strokeplay. he also broke record of Alan border on the process and also become second highest scorer of double hundred after Don Bradman. FROM THIS ANALOGY IT IS CLEAR THAT UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES LARA CLEARLY OUTDID SACHIN. I JUST WISHED WARNE HAD A BETTER EXPLANATION THEN WHAT HE GAVE. ANYWAY IT IS HIS OWN RATING. ALSO SEEING 5 AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS IN TOP 10 IS HARD TO COMPREHEND.
