who is the god of cricket..... IS IT Sachin or Lara

SACHIN IS THE BEST HIS name itself strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers all around the world. Hailed as the next master-blaster following the legacy of the great West Indian Vivian Richards, this man has all the shots in the book, and a few more. There is nothing this man cannot do - he opens the batting for India in the one-dayers, comes at no. 4 in test matches, bowls rightarm offbreaks, legbreaks and even googlies (the wrong-un). He also swings the ball both ways when he bowls his medium pacers. It seems he had tried his hands at wicket-keeping too (in his school days), but gave it up in pursuit of what he does best - Batting. A child prodigy, he made his international debut in ODIs and Tests at the age of 16 ( yes 16 ) against Pakistan and the fiery pace of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis . He then went to England as a part of the national side, and has not looked back ever since. In batting, he has reached a stage that others can only dream of. He has destroyed practically every bowling opposition in the world - from Shane Warne (Aus.) to Saqlain Mushtaq (Pak.) , and Waqar Younis (Pak.) to Allan Donald (RSA) , and in style . Tendulkar 'specialites' include the straight drive (seemingly nobody plays the shot better than him ), the cover drive, the square cut, the pullshot over midwicket/square leg, the delicate leg glance, the late cut, the lofted shots over mid-on and mid-off and not to mention the improvisations he keeps coming up with time and again. He plays each of his shots amazingly well and has even employed the reverse sweep to good effect. A short but powerful man, some of his shots are hit with so much power that the ball simply rockets to the fence as if he was trying to dismiss the ball from his presence. On the other hand, some of his shots are simply timed and placed well. His timing can be quite exquisite and it is this blend of timing and raw power that puts him in the top league with Brian Lara (W.I.) ,Waugh Twins(Mark and Steve, Aus.) and Aravinda de Silva(Sri Lanka).

ofcourse LARA

I can not be sure that whether some players are god of cricket or not. Definitely my choice is Sachin in relation to Lara. No doubt Lara is one of the best player of the cricket but Sachin is living cricket.

sachin is the god of the cricket !!!!!

sachin

Sachin of course..

SACHIN TENDULKAR If there is one thing in cricket which keeps me glued to it it is this personality.The most dynamic, classy elegant player of world cricket.He is the best player i have ever seen.Leave alone Lara,Dravid,Ponting or even the Don Brad man. If cricket is a religion Sachin is GOD. His record proves it.23000+ runs in internationals and 70 centuries..oh my GOD WHAT more the most respected player on field as well as off field.He is simply the best. I do hope that he would continue like this and would perform even better.Let us all pray for great MAESTRO. SACHIN IS THE BEST.

I love Cricket, and India is my fav team... And naturally Sachin is my fav player..

Of course Sachin.Who can think the other way!!!!!!!!!!

lara is better than sachin,most of sacin centuries never made india win compared with lara.

Of Course SACHIN Any Doubt ?

LARA
