Sachin to bat for life, Lara for the joy of batting

'Lara v McGrath was a great battle of our generation'

'Lara was not a conformist'

'Master of delaying the shot till the last minute'

'Pakistan's great match-winner'

'He could change the course of the game'

'It was like royalty was walking with you'

'Effectiveness, runs and consistency'

'Brilliant at keeping the good balls away'
