@THEHITMAN88able sachin tendulkar is the best ever and I am an Aussie . Brian Lara is good but sachin is special. Tendulkar holds many records I don't have to tell u .
Brian Lara,the greatest cricketer off all time,He was the First batsman to do a five hundred in first class cricket.The highest score in international test cricket was also done by Brian Lara.So it means he is better then sachin tendulkar.Cuz he has cheated much enough in cricket.Also Mahela Jawardene is the second highest scorer in international test cricket.Thanks for your video.
@THEHITMAN88able How dumb are you? Matthew Hayden holds the second highest Test innings score of 380 - Jayawardena scored 374. In any case, citing two innings only as proof of his greatness is a bit like posting on YouTube as if it actually means something.
brian lara is a great player but cricket is a boring sport....do you all see the handful of ppl that came to see this match....even the lowest level of professional football would get a better turnout.....
I once got Lara's signature (on a TT $1) when I was playing under 14 cricket for St.Mary's College (A high school in Trinidad). He and Jimmy Adams popped in for a knock while we had a training session. I actually got to run out a carry some stumps for him in the middle! He told me THANKS! .... I lost the dollar though...epic fail, I know.
@ChumpyChicken2 >:(. im sure you would be the first to know if sehwag was gay.... and no, he isnt gay... plus, ur us straight as a fruit loop and im straighter than the straightest thing in existence. lol
@holdingmaradona86 I had a very drunken night with Salil Ankola when we played in Newcastle, England and my West Indian mate swore Lara was the best, Salil swore Sachin was the best. I sat back and laughed at them both. How can you compare? I called it a draw! Anyway, it was a hot curry and a good night. Both players are the best for different reasons. Although for pure longevity and ability to play in most situation Sachin get's it for me. If you need a match winner though, Brian wins. Draw!!
@fanofbc1678 Sachin is the best batsman in cricket. Still is. Always will be. I think this is undeniable, no need of controversy or bringing other sports in this!
@WhatElseExceptNature was never and still not even chris gayle is better than sachin at the moment. sachin is just overrated by the indians, asi said brian lara is the pele, jordan, tiger woods and usain bolt of cricket
@fanofbc1678 Chris gayle can suck my dick. That dude doesnt even come close to the Maestro Sachin. You can go suck Lara's dick all you want, go ahead fag.
@WhatElseExceptNature if yourjob is sucking dicks good for you but i don't think chris or brian need your service if that is your job for they are not a fag like your god sachin the maestro for you dumb indians he is not even like in the rest of the world look how they treating him in austrailia
@fanofbc1678 Lol? Do you live in the same world I do? Stop talking shit fag, Sachin's 2nd best average is something around 59 in Australia, which is in the top 5 for overseas players in Australia. Fucking dumbass. Get your facts right.
@WhatElseExceptNature get the fuck off brian video and go find a job is sachin your fucking dad i am so sick of you and your sachin bullshit tell him to score 400 and save india in this series
@snyperdoc not really. Sehwag is a totally different player than Lara. Lara was a more complete batsman than Sehwag. Lara's style was distinct. Lara late long backlift with so much success is unparallel in cricket. Brian Lara is one of the three greatest batsman to play the game along with Bradman and Sachin, while Sehwag is not even in the top ten list of all time greats, yet.
fuk u bastard.....there is another motherfucker who has fucked the ball harder than this with his bat.....a dog named afridi frm chutistan once hit 30 in an over....
dont forget guys! it was the 2nd last over of the day, ponting, inzimam, or tendulker will never even think to do it at that stage of the day. this is the difference b/w good player and great player.
Lara played for the West Indies at one of its most difficult periods and broke records consistently. If he was in the West Indies of the 80's or an Indian or Australian side he could have scored about 14,000 runs
ok...i know any cricket player video encourages loads of opions but, let me just say like most people that type in the search field " brian lara". Is that we find Mr Lara entertaining!, its not about who is best or who has the bes avg, its who we as cricket lovers love to watch play the best sport in the world!!.
BOLLOCKS!! Lara wouldn't average over 35 if he has to play half of his matches on some of those crazy NZ pitches. Fleming was the best, simple as that
@sharkmad7 well what about english batsman then, similar conditions, does that mean english and kewi batsman should have an extra 10/20 runs added to there batting average, and i never said fleming wasnt good, he was a very good captain, but never quite filled his potential
You cannot compare Lara to most other great batsmen. I agree that Lara had huge periods of bad form and could be quite inconsistent but,how many batting greats have had to perform in a team such as the WI(during the majority of Lara's years)? How much better would his stats have been if he had the support of all those other players Ponting had or even Sachin? Do you know that over his career he produced 20% of the WI runs? Stats matter but circumstances do as well. How would others have fared?
Having said that, my opinion is, that at his best nobody could touch Lara. I don't bother with Bradman's statistics as they are ancient and I hope we can all agree that they would be significantly different in this day and age.
@DreJr The main thing you must be assured of is to never compare statistics to two batsman from different days and ages. You instead compare them to batsmen around them at the time when they were playing. For example you would compare Lara to guys like Tendulkar and Ponting, however you would compare Bradman to his fellow batsmen in the 1930s. You then see how far ahead they are then to determine how good they are. Lara is nowhere near as far ahead as Bradman was against his colleagues.
lara's huge period of lack of form is more donting than sachin but lara was playing in a team which ranked 8th in the world for a very long time an up to now is still the number 8th team in the world but lara has over come the ords an prove to the worl that he is the best batsman. no one can dispute that sachin is more consistent an more technically sound but he dnt convince u that he will dominate your bowling attack but lara instill fare in bowler when he at the crease just like chris gayle
there really is no need for the racial slants and the swearing, theres plenty of ways to get your word across with out pissing ppl of, be nice about it, ppl do listen.. and bradman is the best of our time, statisticly, lara is second best, and the theres sachin, now stop arguing, and settle down, thanks :)
Hey, i read this and laughed, abdul1984, how can you possibly say sachin tandulkar sucks? i mean come on, 40 tests 100s? most players dont get over 10 u need to open your eyes, dont give him shit, hes out there doing his best, thats more than i could say about you, you probaly dont even play club, hell you probaly have never played backyard,
who cares you guys talk shit look at Lara he hit the fucking ball twice in the crowd is that luck or what. i am no cricket fan cause i am from Canada but lara is good 2 hits in the crowd or three thats why he is Brian Lara he is hated and loved but if your all about racism fuck you jelious a dark man is good or what who cares he is good that is all that counts.
hahahaha tendulkar is finished batsman every one knows ok tell me how many world cups has india won with tendulkar u fuckin retard isnt this a fact that matters the most indian media and hype fuck u indian bitches because of u we dont see world cups in austrailia and newzealand just go and watch recent innings of tendulkar 170 he didnt win game for india threw it in end when game was over ok fine i admire dravid he is best batsman of india in past 10 years but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"abdul1984" obviously you dont know what you are talking about asshole. Grounds are all the same wherever you you play bitch. Do we see you get centuries or boundaries when you play cricket??? oh wait my fault we dont see you bitch ass play cricket caus you cant asshole go suck a dick and die and dont hate on real legends caus hes twice your age and still can accomplish what you never will be able to in your life Muthafucka!
when austrailia won the champions trophy ponting rightly pointed out that they win major comptetions but when you saw that 170 run innings by tendulkar clearly he didnt want to win the game he was playing for him self comon a scoop shot when his team needed just 19 off 17 balls and tell me that indian ground was so small hahahah tendulkar sux he should have retired along time ago he is no genius he is a mug doesnt know how to play really small indian stupid grounds he can win any matches
tendulkar has over 40 test 100's, not to mention even more in one dayers, how many do u have? You needa learn respect before u judge anyone mate FUCK you and ur abdulness.
There is no one like Lara, not Sachin not sewag , may be Ricky ponting has the same class but he belongs to a very strong team not like Lara who used to come to bat at situation of 0 Runs with fall of 2 or 3 wickets,.after Richie Richardson retirement there was no one to support west Indian team on batting and it becomes more worsen after Carl hoper But the greatest Brian Lara still kept his team on the path of victory.
So Lara and Tendulkar fill up the top five places?
Officially neither of them are even in those five places, and Ponting is just Below Tendulkar in 8th or 9th spot.
Bradman played in a time of extremely hard batting conditions, yet he averaged 99.94 when some around him were averaging 40. There is ABSOLUTELY no way you can say any batsman ever was better than him. Cannot happen, and will not happen.
Stop living in the past you 'figures' genuis....While your so hung up on figures lara broke ALL of bradmans records except his BSaverage. Was bradman facing bowlers like brett lee bowling at 150+? Was cricket poeples absolute livelyhood when Bradman played? The grounds were also smaller and 5 ball overs,idiot. 'Extremely hrd condtions' lol. Tell me what are they today fool with all training and medicine? stupid cunt, wake up OLD MAN. If lara played back then he would kill anyone!!!!
When Bradman played there were 8 ball overs and much larger grounds to start with. They did not have covers to the pitches, meaning in almost every England Test match the pitch would get wet and turn into a 'sticky wicket'. To counter this they even reversed their batting line-up to let tailenders block out the hard period and the batsmen free score off the easier period. How bout we get started on the bats? They were less effective than hockey sticks. Just planks of wood without even a middle.
Another thing, bowlers like Brett Lee at 150+ were not found at those times. But bowlers of approximately 140 were, and they were the quickest. Try facing that on very hard batting pitches without a helmet, just pads and very thin gloves. If you have ever faced a ball at even 120 you would be surprised at how quick it is, less than .2 of a second to make a decision and .4 to react.
yes but youd just make yourself look older and more foolish.....So YES or NO - Has the standard of cricket not improved since bradmans era?? 140????? HAHAHAHAA tell me what measuring device was used in the 40's you stupid bastard?? stop living in the past....
There is no possible way you could compare any two different eras. Mark Taylor most likely wouldn't have been picked in today's team for example. That is the difference from only a few years.
Has Brian Lara changed the face of cricket forever? He is one of my favourite players ever, along with my favourite team of the Windies, but he isn't and wasn't considered the greatest to walk the game at any point in his career?
I know a C Grade club bowler that bowls 120 km/h. And he does no gym work whatsoever. Just because those videos you see are in black and white doesn't make them instantly 80 years old and unable to do anything. By the way I am most likely younger than you are, I just have a much larger awareness of the game as a whole. Has Brian Lara played through a World War? Does he have a degenerative heart disease or poor eyes? Has he been the captain, coach and selector of the team?
120 is hardly 150. And yes 80 years ago does make them unable to do anything by todays standards......There is just no getting away from the fact that there is no sport that hasnt improved since the 1940s LOL!!!!!! Yes bradman was good but like any other sport 80 years ago it was no where near as competative as it is today, if bradman played today his ass would get beat something bad....I wonder what laras average would have been if he wasn t cheated out of so many wickets by the australians?
Firstly you are moving from fact to personal opinion so your argument no longer counts, but I shall try and show you the many flaws in your logic once again.
Yes things have gotten better, way better in fact. But if Lara were to have played in the 30/40s he wouldn't have had the technology like anyone else. If Bradman were playing today he would have the extra technology and medicine and so forth and would have been just as good. >>
Lara isnt as good as tendulkar or ponting??? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.......Hmmm has ponting scored 501?? or 400?? Did ponting or tendulkar reach 10,000 runs as quick as lara?? lara made his runs in about 20 matches less than tendulkar......OMG u r a fucking idiot to even mention ponting that down syndrome looking cunt in the same sentence.......Oh yeah and how many double hundreds has tendukar made against australia?
Once again you just hate any other country but what I think is yours which is unfair because I'm not West Indian and yet it is my favourite team, and my favourite players all come from other countries but my own.
Ponting has the best statistical records. Just because Lara can hit big scores, doesn't mean he did it often. If he was playing in Australia he would find it hard to find himself a spot in the team that included the greats, so it's hardly a decision.
Ponting has the best statistical records?? Well if you are a stat man then look that lara broke ALL of bradmans records except his unrealistic modern day average.....dude u will find it hard to sleep at night after making such a foolish comment that ponting is better than lara -- funniest shit i ever heard....And old man, playing in a down period would make it HARDER to score runs because the pressure was always on.....doesnt matter which way you slice it old man lara is the best, always will be
Ponting score 1000 runs in a calendar year FIVE years in a row, the second only person to do that after Matthew Hayden. Ponting doesn't have bad form longevity. In his worst series, he still scores a century in most of them on at least one occasion.
At least the difference between Ponting and Lara is minuscule, the argument is legitimate. The difference between Lara and Bradman is absolutely HUGE. There is no argument there.
He also played his matches in a down period for the Windies meaning he was the only batsman on most occasions to get the chance to do anything. There was no competition for him. That could make him greater for holding a whole team on his shoulder, but if you don't have two openers and a number four making centuries there is much more time for you to do it. He also scored most of his runs against minnows.
Get off your high horse and look at the facts. Lara is a legend, not the absolute best ever
He scored a great deal against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, plus Sri Lanka was his next target and at the time a little weaker than could be expected.
This is why to that reason that my favourite player Matthew Hayden cant be called a legend when he has done the same sorts of things as Lara has, because he is called a flat track bully. In fact Hayden has had a better career and had he played more Tests would have more centuries and runs. Hayden is no Tendulkar or Ponting so in a way neither is Lara
dont even make such stupid mistake to compare hayen to lara.
NB lara retire playing 131 test matches will sachin had played 156 this satistics says it allalso lara is the only batsman in the history of cricket to hold 3 world record i
Remember that Lara is one of my all time favourite players and West Indies is my team.
I'm just trying to talk sense into some people who love players for personal opinion reasons that think they are the king of cricket and they only watch their videos on youtube and not all the other players. Then they dare to comment on them without seeing them.
You are a disgrace to say that Bradman, arguably the best sportsperson to walk the earth playing ANY sport is beaten by a legend of only ONE era. Lara isn't even as good as Tendulkar or Ponting. Bradman was years ahead of everyone else, there was nobody close to him in his time. You cannot say he is a terrible player because he played in a difference time. If Lara was in that time he would be in the same position, a great batsman, but not THE BEST EVER.
And yep , Sachin tTendulkars biggest down point is , that he will not even think {{{{{not even try}}}}} to go for 2 consecutive 6s in a Test match even What the situation may be.....
Can anyone believe this was the penultimate over of the day? West Indies were in danger of not saving the follow-on. He is simple magic, the greatest. At lot of the times he single-handedly saved the West Indies from embarrassment even winning games. No doubt the best player of spin to ever exist. Brian Charles Lara
David beckham was all style and no substance. Bechkam is not among the 25 greatest footballer of all time but this guy is definelty among 25 top batsman of all time in cricket
Lara at his best was better than Sachin at his best, but Sachin is much more consistent and dependable and hence considered better. Bradman was a genius and perhaps would have been better than these two in this era also.
Richards was also a very complete and dangrous batsman. In short these 4 are the best bats of all times!
Yes i think Brian Lara is a better player compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Lara made his debut an year later but was still over 1000 runs ahead of sachin. So had lara played for 20 yrs, then he would have been the best batsman and would have been the leading run scorer. Sachin should now retire from International cricket. He plays only for his records.
Firstly, Larwood was a 100mph bowler and bradman faced him in the bodyline series without a helmet and still averaged over 56 for the series. If it was so easy to face the bowlers of that era why didn't other batsmen average 99?
if u read blow t9trix says gary sobers hit six 6's in an over..... that wasnt test cricket it was domestic cricket in england.... SO WHAT ARE U RETARDED OR JUST PLANE STUPID PRICK!!!!!
Inzamam is the best of all time as match winner.Inzamam has an ave of123.36 as the best while D.Bradman stands at sec with an ave of 121.45 and over all career ave of 99.there is no sachin or lara in that list I SWEAR.you guys can check it ur self.check this out,its on that website,all time best match winners.
INZAMAM AVE OF 123.36 with 18/100"s
Bradman Ave of 121.45 with 17/100"s
Lara ave of 41.36 with 11 100"s
sachin ave of 36.45 with only 8/100"s out of all those hunderds he has,
Gary Sobers and that Indian (Ravi Shastri to be precise) hit 36 in an over respectively in a FIRST class match not in test match. Gibbs hit 6 sixes in an ODI in 2007 Worldcup. Yuvraj Singh hit 36 against Stuart Broad in 20/20 too. No one in test ever hit 6 sixes in a test match so far. You should understand the difference between ODI, T/20, First Class and Test Cricket mate.

Is that we find Mr Lara entertaining!, its not about who is best or who has the bes avg, its who we as cricket lovers love to watch play the best sport in the world!!.

BOLLOCKS!! Lara wouldn't average over 35 if he has to play half of his matches on some of those crazy NZ pitches. Fleming was the best, simple as that
sharkmad7 2 years ago
@sharkmad7 well what about english batsman then, similar conditions, does that mean english and kewi batsman should have an extra 10/20 runs added to there batting average, and i never said fleming wasnt good, he was a very good captain, but never quite filled his potential
xerllessur 2 years ago
Fleming did actually average 40 he made sure of that in his last test, i dont think he ever reached his potential
But Lara is too good!

You cannot compare Lara to most other great batsmen. I agree that Lara had huge periods of bad form and could be quite inconsistent but,how many batting greats have had to perform in a team such as the WI(during the majority of Lara's years)? How much better would his stats have been if he had the support of all those other players Ponting had or even Sachin? Do you know that over his career he produced 20% of the WI runs? Stats matter but circumstances do as well. How would others have fared?
DreJr 2 years ago
Having said that, my opinion is, that at his best nobody could touch Lara. I don't bother with Bradman's statistics as they are ancient and I hope we can all agree that they would be significantly different in this day and age.
DreJr 2 years ago 2
@DreJr The main thing you must be assured of is to never compare statistics to two batsman from different days and ages. You instead compare them to batsmen around them at the time when they were playing. For example you would compare Lara to guys like Tendulkar and Ponting, however you would compare Bradman to his fellow batsmen in the 1930s. You then see how far ahead they are then to determine how good they are. Lara is nowhere near as far ahead as Bradman was against his colleagues.

lara's huge period of lack of form is more donting than sachin but lara was playing in a team which ranked 8th in the world for a very long time an up to now is still the number 8th team in the world but lara has over come the ords an prove to the worl that he is the best batsman. no one can dispute that sachin is more consistent an more technically sound but he dnt convince u that he will dominate your bowling attack but lara instill fare in bowler when he at the crease just like chris gayle

when austrailia won the champions trophy ponting rightly pointed out that they win major comptetions but when you saw that 170 run innings by tendulkar clearly he didnt want to win the game he was playing for him self comon a scoop shot when his team needed just 19 off 17 balls and tell me that indian ground was so small hahahah tendulkar sux he should have retired along time ago he is no genius he is a mug doesnt know how to play really small indian stupid grounds he can win any matches

There is no one like Lara, not Sachin not sewag , may be Ricky ponting has the same class but he belongs to a very strong team not like Lara who used to come to bat at situation of 0 Runs with fall of 2 or 3 wickets,.after Richie Richardson retirement there was no one to support west Indian team on batting and it becomes more worsen after Carl hoper But the greatest Brian Lara still kept his team on the path of victory.

I respect the skill of Sachin.
Lara however has some innings that place him on a slightly higher level and the man broke the record twice in one lifetime (375 and 400).
Cricket will never just be a statistics game...look at the 2 men bat and judge...I give Lara the edge.

I'm not white and I'm not racist against Australians. I've always liked Australia but I hate Shane Warne. I do like Ricky Ponting though. FUCK YOU
Brian Lara and Sachin by virtue of stats and accolades are Top 5 cricket batsmen All-time. Case closed
hawianiceman420 2 years ago
No need for the swearing.
So Lara and Tendulkar fill up the top five places?
Officially neither of them are even in those five places, and Ponting is just Below Tendulkar in 8th or 9th spot.
Bradman played in a time of extremely hard batting conditions, yet he averaged 99.94 when some around him were averaging 40. There is ABSOLUTELY no way you can say any batsman ever was better than him. Cannot happen, and will not happen.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
Stop living in the past you 'figures' genuis....While your so hung up on figures lara broke ALL of bradmans records except his BSaverage. Was bradman facing bowlers like brett lee bowling at 150+? Was cricket poeples absolute livelyhood when Bradman played? The grounds were also smaller and 5 ball overs,idiot. 'Extremely hrd condtions' lol. Tell me what are they today fool with all training and medicine? stupid cunt, wake up OLD MAN. If lara played back then he would kill anyone!!!!
wollongongwrx 2 years ago
When Bradman played there were 8 ball overs and much larger grounds to start with. They did not have covers to the pitches, meaning in almost every England Test match the pitch would get wet and turn into a 'sticky wicket'. To counter this they even reversed their batting line-up to let tailenders block out the hard period and the batsmen free score off the easier period. How bout we get started on the bats? They were less effective than hockey sticks. Just planks of wood without even a middle.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
Another thing, bowlers like Brett Lee at 150+ were not found at those times. But bowlers of approximately 140 were, and they were the quickest. Try facing that on very hard batting pitches without a helmet, just pads and very thin gloves. If you have ever faced a ball at even 120 you would be surprised at how quick it is, less than .2 of a second to make a decision and .4 to react.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
Could do this for hours.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
yes but youd just make yourself look older and more foolish.....So YES or NO - Has the standard of cricket not improved since bradmans era?? 140????? HAHAHAHAA tell me what measuring device was used in the 40's you stupid bastard?? stop living in the past....
wollongongwrx 2 years ago
Yes it has, by a huge amount.
There is no possible way you could compare any two different eras. Mark Taylor most likely wouldn't have been picked in today's team for example. That is the difference from only a few years.
Has Brian Lara changed the face of cricket forever? He is one of my favourite players ever, along with my favourite team of the Windies, but he isn't and wasn't considered the greatest to walk the game at any point in his career?
jawsboris72 2 years ago
I know a C Grade club bowler that bowls 120 km/h. And he does no gym work whatsoever. Just because those videos you see are in black and white doesn't make them instantly 80 years old and unable to do anything. By the way I am most likely younger than you are, I just have a much larger awareness of the game as a whole. Has Brian Lara played through a World War? Does he have a degenerative heart disease or poor eyes? Has he been the captain, coach and selector of the team?
jawsboris72 2 years ago
120 is hardly 150. And yes 80 years ago does make them unable to do anything by todays standards......There is just no getting away from the fact that there is no sport that hasnt improved since the 1940s LOL!!!!!! Yes bradman was good but like any other sport 80 years ago it was no where near as competative as it is today, if bradman played today his ass would get beat something bad....I wonder what laras average would have been if he wasn t cheated out of so many wickets by the australians?
wollongongwrx 2 years ago
Firstly you are moving from fact to personal opinion so your argument no longer counts, but I shall try and show you the many flaws in your logic once again.
Yes things have gotten better, way better in fact. But if Lara were to have played in the 30/40s he wouldn't have had the technology like anyone else. If Bradman were playing today he would have the extra technology and medicine and so forth and would have been just as good. >>
jawsboris72 2 years ago
Lara isnt as good as tendulkar or ponting??? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.......Hmmm has ponting scored 501?? or 400?? Did ponting or tendulkar reach 10,000 runs as quick as lara?? lara made his runs in about 20 matches less than tendulkar......OMG u r a fucking idiot to even mention ponting that down syndrome looking cunt in the same sentence.......Oh yeah and how many double hundreds has tendukar made against australia?
wollongongwrx 2 years ago
Once again you just hate any other country but what I think is yours which is unfair because I'm not West Indian and yet it is my favourite team, and my favourite players all come from other countries but my own.
Ponting has the best statistical records. Just because Lara can hit big scores, doesn't mean he did it often. If he was playing in Australia he would find it hard to find himself a spot in the team that included the greats, so it's hardly a decision.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
Ponting has the best statistical records?? Well if you are a stat man then look that lara broke ALL of bradmans records except his unrealistic modern day average.....dude u will find it hard to sleep at night after making such a foolish comment that ponting is better than lara -- funniest shit i ever heard....And old man, playing in a down period would make it HARDER to score runs because the pressure was always on.....doesnt matter which way you slice it old man lara is the best, always will be
wollongongwrx 2 years ago
Lara has had huge periods of bad form.
Ponting score 1000 runs in a calendar year FIVE years in a row, the second only person to do that after Matthew Hayden. Ponting doesn't have bad form longevity. In his worst series, he still scores a century in most of them on at least one occasion.
At least the difference between Ponting and Lara is minuscule, the argument is legitimate. The difference between Lara and Bradman is absolutely HUGE. There is no argument there.

He also played his matches in a down period for the Windies meaning he was the only batsman on most occasions to get the chance to do anything. There was no competition for him. That could make him greater for holding a whole team on his shoulder, but if you don't have two openers and a number four making centuries there is much more time for you to do it. He also scored most of his runs against minnows.
Get off your high horse and look at the facts. Lara is a legend, not the absolute best ever
jawsboris72 2 years ago
He scored most against minnows? Seriously?
DreJr 2 years ago
He scored a great deal against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, plus Sri Lanka was his next target and at the time a little weaker than could be expected.
This is why to that reason that my favourite player Matthew Hayden cant be called a legend when he has done the same sorts of things as Lara has, because he is called a flat track bully. In fact Hayden has had a better career and had he played more Tests would have more centuries and runs. Hayden is no Tendulkar or Ponting so in a way neither is Lara
jawsboris72 2 years ago
dont even make such stupid mistake to compare hayen to lara.
NB lara retire playing 131 test matches will sachin had played 156 this satistics says it allalso lara is the only batsman in the history of cricket to hold 3 world record i

Remember that Lara is one of my all time favourite players and West Indies is my team.
I'm just trying to talk sense into some people who love players for personal opinion reasons that think they are the king of cricket and they only watch their videos on youtube and not all the other players. Then they dare to comment on them without seeing them.
jawsboris72 2 years ago
You are a disgrace to say that Bradman, arguably the best sportsperson to walk the earth playing ANY sport is beaten by a legend of only ONE era. Lara isn't even as good as Tendulkar or Ponting. Bradman was years ahead of everyone else, there was nobody close to him in his time. You cannot say he is a terrible player because he played in a difference time. If Lara was in that time he would be in the same position, a great batsman, but not THE BEST EVER.

Can anyone believe this was the penultimate over of the day? West Indies were in danger of not saving the follow-on. He is simple magic, the greatest.

Lara at his best was better than Sachin at his best, but Sachin is much more consistent and dependable and hence considered better. Bradman was a genius and perhaps would have been better than these two in this era also.
Richards was also a very complete and dangrous batsman. In short these 4 are the best bats of all times!
tukai79 2 years ago 3
Yes i think Brian Lara is a better player compared to Sachin Tendulkar. Lara made his debut an year later but was still over 1000 runs ahead of sachin. So had lara played for 20 yrs, then he would have been the best batsman and would have been the leading run scorer. Sachin should now retire from International cricket. He plays only for his records.

Firstly, Larwood was a 100mph bowler and bradman faced him in the bodyline series without a helmet and still averaged over 56 for the series. If it was so easy to face the bowlers of that era why didn't other batsmen average 99?
