agreed, Tendulkar is not at his peak for the past few years but between 1990 and 2000, that man was a treat to watch and has championed many victories ( we should not have a short memory). Lara and Tendulkar are almost equals and I would not put either ahead. If Lara has an aptitude for making large hundreds, Tendulkar has been a prolific centurey maker in both forms - 75 hundreds is no joke. Ultimately cricket is not about individuals - atleast a few of the 11 have to perform on any given day. Australia keeps winning not because Ponting is a prolific scorer - but he has others to support him. India and the West Indies teams have let down teh efforst of their two masters on numerous occasions. On the other hand, it is also true that both of them have let down their teams at times, revelaing their human fraility.
