Its been a point of debate for last 10-12 yrs. Its been a fascinating duel between the two in terms of achievements and accolades for the sheer class of batsmanship they have showered upon the cricketing fraternity. I have always believed that Brian Lara is a better batsman then Sachin Tendulkar for the simple reason that he still has a terrorising effect on the opposition bowlers because they know what he can do when at his destructive best. A man who has represented a weakened windies for almost last 10 yrs singlehandedly is still the best batsmen in their team and by a huge margin. He has maintained his style of batsmanship all along which has not been the case with Tendulkar. Mind u it doesnt mean that the little genius from mumbai is not a great player in his right. But Lara would go down in the history as a better batsman;player who always believed in his ability and talent and stuck to his game.Lets see what our fellow writers have to say. For me it is Lara who is better
