Stats dont completely tell the truth. Lara played in what most likely was the worse WI team of that era. Carrying the team on his back. Look at the situations Lara made most of his match winning knocks under extreme pressure with sometimes little or no help from others.
In ODI sachin is better. But Lara is the Test King. Played spin bowling like no other.
Greatest Innings of Brian Lara.
