robin first you stop laughing at others opinions buddy then come and talk about respect
if you want to compare a batsman who played 299 matches and another who played 400+ and compare their boundaries etc then i can only laugh man...and lets not forget lara was for most part of his career a batsman who carried a pretty poor west indian batting side on his shoulders while sachin had enough support compared to lara...
and also look at the top hundreds of lara and sachin in tests buddy and see the strike rates there too...when LARA got going THERE WAS NO ONE WHO COULD EQUAL HIM...
and yes sachin still hasnt got a 45 ball hundred and lara has got it...sachin's last big destructive innings in ODI's was that 160+ against new zealand on those tiny nz grounds while lara's 156 against pak was in australia which included a couple ONE HANDED SIXES and was an innings which carried west indies to a very god target...minus sachin from that new zealand match india would have still made good runs looking at just how raina was hitting sixes in the end....remove lara from that match against pakistan and west indies have lost it easily...
King Cricket - if iam not wrong sachin has played like nearly 150 more matches in one day cricket with a very good batting line up and has scored around 9 to 10 of his ODI hundreds against the likes of bangladesh zimbabwe etc
and buddy lara's first hundred in test cricket was a 277 against aussies in australia while ur sachin's overall career H.S. is 241 against bangladesh
and yes lara has 9 double tons compared to sachin's 5
and in that lara has 2 triple tons as well and in those 2 he has one quadruple
lara is the man who has most number of boundaries in test cricket if iam not wrong
and i can go on
