Everyone is sick and tired of seeing your mails directly or indirectly trying to stuff in everyone's mind that "Inzi is best "

I think u know the famous saying "A lie told 1000 times ,, dosent turn out to be the truth"

Once the Inzi's carrier will be over ,, there will be hardly anyone from the world cricket to remember him of any greatness.

He dosent came anywhere near Greatness. He will be just one more good player of pakistan ,, jsut like ur old warhorse Minadad or Salim Malik or Saeed anwar.

From ur country only one man of last decade will be remembered and that is Chaudhary Wasim Akram.

Inzi ---- B**LS**T [sorry to use this but fact].

He cant even run properly ,,, He is like a moose of Archies ,,, simply has power to hit ,, but no on cricketing brains.

Such hard words come coz u made me speak out these ... again and again ,, u are annoying everyone by saying "Inzi is best","Inzi is best","Inzi is best"...............

Here's a few more points to throw into the Pollock v Lara debate:

Pollock scored a century every 5.9 innings, whereas for Lara that figure stands at 6.9. They both scored a century every 4.1 First Class innings but Pollock has a superior first class average (by almost 3 runs).

It's pretty impossible to compare batsmen of different eras, but that proves that Pollock can't be ruled as out as one of the all-time greats.

Graeme Pollock had a test average of 60 point something. That is amazing. He could have accomplished a lot more if it weren't for that problem when SA weren't allowed to play cricket. Lara is not much better than Tendulkar or Graeme Pollock...that's just your opinion because you have said nothing to support it. ]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 20:35:44 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=261&PID=7842#7842 Who’s better???

I wouldn't say that Tendulkar is the best right handed batsman...Don Bradman is. Lara is the best left-handed batsman and there is no doubt about it.

Hmmm, fans of Graeme Pollock might have something to say about that.

I have never understood why people dismiss Tendulkar. Lara is exceptional, I agree, and when, at the age of 25, he had a test average of 67 and looked like being an all-time great, one probably would have stuck him ahead of Tendulkar. But he let personal problems and bad habits drag him down, and will end up with a career average in the low 50s rather than in the 60s. Tendulkar, on the other hand, has maintained a high 50s average throughout; not to mention a phenomenal ODI average of 44 at a strike rate of 86 with 38 ODI centuries, which is twice as many as the next best batsman! Tendulkar is head and shoulders above the rest. Yes, injuries have struck him down, but even the greatest have ended their careers to injury.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2005 20:37:39 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=261&PID=2888#2888 Who’s better???

lara is better in a way, i'm not saying in all aspects of the game. lara has scored many match winning tons which i feel tendulker might not have done as much as lara and lara is the only player in history who has scored a quadruple test century which i think is an amazing achievment that will stand alone for a long, long time.

on the other hand, tendulker is only 32 which means even though lara (35 years old) has more test runs than tendulker right now, tendulker could eventually end up as the highest Test run scorer because of the age advantage. tendulker is also already the highest ODI run scorer and lara doesn't even come close to that, so that's more credit to tendulker. Tendulker also has slightly better averages than lara in both forms of the game.]]> Sun, 16 Oct 2005 20:02:41 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=261&PID=2813#2813 Who’s better???

Excellent analysis, Wolfman but Tendulkar does in fact have four Test double centuries, interestingly though in three of those games (against New Zealand in 99/00 [217], against Zimbabwe in 2000/01 [201 not out] and Australia in 2003/04 [241 not out]) the matches were drawn, his best score coming in the victorious game over Bangladesh in 2004/05, 248 not out.]]> Sat, 15 Oct 2005 13:01:49 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=261&PID=2781#2781 Who’s better???

Tendulkar or Lara, I don't think any-one can really answer who isbetter. They are very different players, but both geniuses (i hopethat is the plural for genius!)

Tendulkar has the most runs in World Cup history, will score the most runs intest matches, and one dayers, and shall also hold the record for the most hundreds. He has thebest technique I have seen. Stands perfectly still, and his cover driveis more attractive than a beautiful sunset. On his day, especially whenhe was younger, he can destroy a bowling attack, all with wonderfulorthodox shots. He scores consistently, yet has never scored a doublehundred (if i am not mistaken.) The only batsmen that Warne fears, whenfit, I imagine he is the first on any-one's team sheet. The only thingmissing from Tendulkar's resume: a truly, monumental, match winninginnings.

Brian Lara has the highest score in Test cricket, the highest score inFirst Class Cricket, and has single handedly destroyed teams in thepast, Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, and Australia in the WIndies spring tomind. After having batted for 20minutes, he backs himself to score arun of each ball he faces. When he hits the ball, it stays hit, withhis flamboyant back-lift, and a technique that at times brushes on theabsurd. He either scores big, and fast, or fails, and is a bit of anenigma concerning his captaincy, and desire for the game.

Me personally, I prefer Tendulkar. His technique, the way he drives,everything about the little maestro, and his god like status, makes himmy favourite batsman. Cricket is poorer for his abscene.

I nearly posted in this earlier as my impression was that technically, Tendulkar was (just) the better player but when it came down to it and an innings was needed to save or win a game, then Lara was your man.

I'm glad I didn't post then as I've just checked the stats and although raw stats don't tell all, Tendulkar just seems to have edge (although he is playing in a better Indian team than Lara's West Indian team of late.)

To be honest, I can't split them and I'm not sure I want to - both are outstanding players who have between broken several records, carried their teams on occasion and made batting look easy. I think it's too close to call.
