Then in 20 innings Tendulkar has to score 50 an innings.HIs average is 53,better than Laras 51, so looks like he'll do it.Tendulkar wins AGAINST ENGLAND Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 19 1766 193 67.92 6 8 Lara 30 2983 400* 62.14 7 11 Lara has played 11 more matches and has roughly 1200 runs more. He has 1 more century and 3 more half centuries and has 11 matches more,not prmising.Tendulkar has the better average. 1200 runs in 22 innings (or less) needs about 55 runs an innigns.Tendulkars average is 67.Tendulkar wins. AGAINST NEWZEALAND Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 16 1062 217 48.27 3 5 Lara 11 704 147 41.41 1 5 Tendulkar has 5 more matches.about 10 more innings.2 more centuries,equal no. of halves. Better average to Sachin.In 10 innings,Lara needs about 400 runs , 40 an innings.Laras average is 41. Looks like Lara wins. AGAINST PAKISTAN Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 16 918 194* 39.91 2 5 Lara 9 725 153 42.64 2 2 Lara beats Tendulkar clearly here. No need for comparison AGAINST SOUTHAFRICA Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 16 1003 169 37.14 3 3 Lara 18 1715 202 49.00 4 9 Another victory for Lara. AT HOME Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 60 4917 217 55.24 16 19 Lara 65 6217 400* 58.65 17 26 Lara has 5 more matches and 1300 more runs. Tendulkar needs 65 per innings to get that,looks like he'll fall 100 runs short.But he should overtake Lara in the centuries department.Anyways,Lara has a marginally better average and he takes this one. AWAY Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 Sachin 72 5552 248* 55.52 19 22 Lara 63 5288 277 45.98 15 21 Tendulkar has 9 more matches and 300 more runs.However, there've been lots of not outs and inning defeats dammit . His average beats Lara by almost 10 .Although it looks like Lara wins by the no. of matches and runs comparison,I say that Sachin wins cos hes played less innings than Lara has.If you look at the average and no. of runs,Tendulkar has been dismissed exactly 100 times. Its highly unlikely though that hes had 44 not outs,so hes had a small amount of innings. Now,its obvious that Sachin is the better batsman in ODI's , but I think also in tests because hes more consistent and does not get out ,many times..hes been not out above a 100 many times. Thank you if you look at all the comparisons,theyre tied 4-4 but I still say Sachin is better One interestign comparison here though,In India vs WI records,Sachin owns Lara. Sachin against WI Mat Runs HS BatAv 100 50 16 1328 179 57.73 3 7 Lara against India 17 1002 120 34.55 2 6 1 more match,300 less runs,average lesser by 23 , less no. of half centuries.less no. of centuries for Lara

both are my favourites...

LARA is perfect for captainship. SACHIN is perfect for batting& bowling.

Lara is self centric playre.He is egoeistic

Both are legends nobudy can compaire them.

sachin or lara......?surely sachin for me.....coz lara is nvr undr the pressure as sachin is always..whn sachin walks out 2 bat whole of india expcts him 2 score a hundred....thts not wid lara at all....handling the pressure as sachin does....tht gives him edge over lara.....

I Think Lara is the better than Sachin.
