Published April 6, 2006

NEW DELHI, April 5: West Indian great Brian Lara on Wednesday backed Sachin Tendulkar to overcome injuries and bad form, saying the Indian was a peerless batsman with a lot more to offer. Lara regarded Tendulkar as the best batsman he ever watched despite the prolific success of Australian captain Ricky Ponting and South African Jacques Kallis.

“For me the best batsman in the world is Sachin Tendulkar,” Lara told newsmen during a private visit to India.”—AFP
