Lara holds the world record of scoring most runs in a single over (28 runs). He is one of six batsmen to make a century before lunch. He has scored the most runs (351) on a losing side in a Test. He was the fastest batsmen to score 10,000 (with Sachin Tendulkar) and 11,000 Test runs in terms of number of innings. He was the all-time leading run scorer in Test cricket a record he attained until surpassed by Sachin Tendulkar after he retired. Sachin is 4 yrs younger than Lara so work it out nigga!
Many reasons why Lara is so much better than Tendulkar is the 501no, 400no, 375, 277 & with nine of his centuries converted into 200's & two of them converted into 300's with Lara scoring 20% of his team runs a feat surpassed only by Bradman 23% & George Headley 21%, Lara is the only man to break the test record with 375 and had to do it again exactly 10 years later at the same ground against the same team and register 400 runs. He has scored centuries against ALL test playing nations..........
Whenever he entered in a stadium, everything just seemed to bow itself infront of this fabolous cricket star. Always full of confidence he was, if you watch this video keenly you'd witness that he miss timed 4 deliveries only while scoring 400 runs.
I still remember, I was on my honeymoon when Brian Charles Lara was batting on 36. My wife entered the room and asked if we were going out to have lunch and I without noticing said that, dont disturb me for next 2-3 days, Lara is going to score 400!
Brian Lara is a great batsman, so is Tendulkar, no doubt. Tendulkar get more career runs, Lara gets more innings runs. Lara is the only one to get 400 in international cricket and is the only one to get 500 in first-class cricket. Tendulkar has the most runs in international test and ODI's. So everyone who says one is better than the other, these two can only sum up to "Their both great batsman"
How many match winning innings Sachin has played for India in his long career?..I can easily count on my fingure tips....Same question,replace sachin by LARA...and i need a 100 page notebook..
Without any doubt,the very best modern day batsman...Lara , I salute you
Brian Lara is heads and shoulders above Sachin Tendulkar in any book. Please go through the stats on both the players and you will get to know. Brian Lara scored 11000 Test runs in much fewer innings than Sachin Tendulkar. If you take out the 'not-out' factor from their innings (Tendulkar has more than 20 and Lara has only 6) then Brian Lara's average is greater than Sachin Tendulkar. So average wise Lara is better.
On the other hand, strike rate wise Lara is above Tendulkar by all means.
Lara was way more entertaining than tendulkar is. Sure tendulkar has a higher average, but he played in a stronger team than lara. There was more pressure on lara because he captained his country in more games than tendulkar and he usually had a weaker batting line up.
ok guys. even cricinfo says that lara was the most pehnomenal in accumalating runs since bradman.....lara accounted for 32% of his teams ouput, which is 2nd to only Sir Don and Sir Headley!...besides....ponting did not face arne mcgrath, the west indian battery as well as the Pakistani battery......Ponting averaged high only after year 2000!
Sachin tendulkar would have to be the greatest in this day an age..you cannot rate lara that high.For example when he bats he falls on his technique to much espicially agaist spin. Tendulkar duz not hes perfect.And when lara isnt scoreing hundreds hes always very low scores so hes consistant in either high or low but he cannot perform all the time. Tendulka can
u check the stats and speak.sachin is consistent.have u seen him play atleast once?what did he do in cb series finals?has lara broken any of sachin's record.
@Fusionz0wnz You are seriously mistaken!! Murali said in an interview that Lara was the best batsman against spin. How many test wickets have you taken???
the best ever. sachin cant do this...who has most double tons against AUS? sir lara...who is only 2nd to don in terms of team output and doube tons? Sir lara....who has the highest first class cicket score? sir lara.....
yeah like 365 or a 400*, or the most runs in an over in Test Cricket, or the most double centuries, or having to break a record, lose it and break it back. When Lara retired he had scored the most runs in Test match history at that point. Lara is more entertaining and has more shots than Tendulkar!
only 400... mate nobody has got that!!!! and lara has achieved amazing things in his life so has sachin, lara performs everytime but no offence sachin can be a let down
Brian Lara is great batsmen and overall a great cricketer but also a great person. His worked hard to achieve what he has and i bow to a true legend, that of Sir Brian Lara.

Fusionz0wnz 3 years ago
in the last 5 years tendulkar has faltered against pace as well as tarnished his overall batting record.
Apart from the recent aus series he has had to rely scores against bd (the weakest int'l team) to keep his average up.
