Clarke is a very good player.  So are Shiv, Sanga, Kohli, Peitersen, AB, Amla etc.


But when these guys are batting you would get up to take a piss at the first sign of strain without any hesitation or thought.  With Lara and Tendulkar however, you would hold it in till the drinks break. 8)

One thing I do remember is that whenever Lara and Tendulkar were batting, you were always glued to the screen (or the pitch if you were at the ground). 

Everything around you didn't matter anymore because when these guys were at the crease you really felt that something great was always possible.

Is there a player out there today that commands this sort of rapt attention from the viewer?
