 Cricinfo died sometime before noon, and so I missed out on most of Lara's
innings today. Looks like he turned up the heat after lunch. 176 off 226
seems to say it all really. He really rescued the Windies yet again (or
should I say 'gave them some respectability before they are thrashed yet
again' ?).

This debate of who is better- Lara or Tendulkar - will probably reopen now
on rsc, with the usual punches and counterpunches and statistics and graphs.
Let me start it off :- A few years back, I watching a game between West
Indies and Australia on TV. Lara was giving it to the Australians that day,
to the (slight) dismay of the Channel Nine commentators, and the evident joy
of Michael Holding. At some point, someone (Chappell, I think) asked
Holding -

"So, how do you think is better - Lara or Tendulkar?"

Holding took a moment, and then replied with his inimitable drawl - "When
Lara works haard, he is better; when he doesn't, Sachin is better!"

Had me laughing at how little Tendulkar being better had to do with
Tendulkar, according to Holding :-)­

What's to reopen? Your question uses the present tense. There can be
no doubt that here and now in 2005, whatever may have gone on before,
Lara is a supreme batsman, possibly *the* supreme batsman, and
Tendulkar isn't. When you then go on to point out that the challengers
for that title are Dravid and Kallis, that question becomes a bit
easier to resolve.

Cheers,

Mike

That's part of what makes Lara a great batsman. When he's batting
well, he's thrilling to watch, but rarely gets carried away. I'd
almost say that he motors along at a rate of a boundary every
over, but "motors" is too soulless a word to describe his
strokeplay.
