Sachin vs Lara is always debatable issue and world players always seems to be divided. Whether sachin is best batsman of pace bowler is debatable because even in his team Rahul Dravid has played better against pace in most testing situation. Very rare win of India overseas in England, Australia, Southafrica , Westindies is mostly because of one man Rahul Dravid.
However, there is no doubt Lara is the best batsman against the spinners ( in the era of the two best spinners ever Warne and Murali) possibly best ever. Plus other good spinners of this era like Vetorri, Ray Price has named Lara being the better. One shouldnot forget Lara is the only batsman because of whom Shane Warne was dropped from test team in 1999 when he completely demolished warne. Furthermore, Shane Warne's confidence was so dented that he was contemplating retirement that time.
Highest wicket taker of this era Muralitharan (in spinner) and Glenn Mc Grath ( in fast bowler) have named Lara being better. Where as two other heavy weights Shane Warne and Wasim Akram has named Sachin tendulkar as being better.
Both Sachin and Lara has made lots of runs and hundreds. So how can we differentiate them?Some runs more or less cannot separate them.
However, sachin records are more accumulated over the years of time and so does few of lara's record. Only reason i will put lara little ahead is he has also many instantaneous records which Sachin has not made. Records like 28 and 26 runs in an over, 400, 375, over 350 in test match thirce, only batsman to hit half a thousand run in an inning (501), 3 times he have made 100 runs in test matches better than run a ball and so forth.
