Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar (Away from home)

[sayon basak]

I got lazy half way through, simply focus on the pacemen.

Weird as you included them for Lara. Cool tho.

I actually copypasted two separate old posts and combined them

 

[subshakerz]

42, and failed against the two other great attacks, so 1/3 at his peak, that's kind of sad

I mean, two successful series and one poor tests, it's a stretch to consider that below par as far as consistency goes.

And you shouldn't keep ignoring him vs WI 97.

 

[subshakerz]

Collective average of 36 odd against great attacks (Austalia, Pakistan and South Africa) Pre Tennis Elbow induced decline.

Not if you include WI.

I already posted the collective.

Okay, included the Ambrose games, became 39, so impressive.

Lara struggled against Allan Donald. Not sure why some think he would do great against Steyn.

One series. And he struggled away to McGrath and Ws as well. But at home, he did very good to great vs them all. So that's my pov: he'd struggle in RSA but dominate Steyn in the Caribbean. Surely you don't think Steyn would get the better of Lara in the Caribbean.

never played against Shoaib and Steyn weirdly

I think Sachin played against Bond as well.

 

[Johan]

averaged 25

 

[subshakerz]

averaged 25

2 tests though.

 

[Sliferxxxx]

2 tests though.

True. And Lara only played 4. So let's ignore Bond.

 

[OverratedSanity]

averaged 25

They were basically pre world war 1 era pitches so 25 wasn't even bad lol. Dravid and mark richardson were much better though.

 

[Johan]

I remember a little bit about the series but I think I originally excluded Bond on the account of low sample size + greentops.

Tendulkar getting a fifty then is totally to his credit.

 

[Sliferxxxx]

averaged 25

Aka failed. I brought up Bond specifically for Lara to show what he may have done vs Steyn ie fail away but do well at home.

Bond and Steyn bowled nothing alike .

 

[Sliferxxxx]

No kidding but Bond was class just lacked the games. Still Lara would likely fail in Rsa but suceed at home vs Steyn. If you have an issue with this take, so be it.

Why is this a win for Lara? To be a home basher?

The issue is we don't know. Steyn was excellent in the WI. Or how he would do versus Shoaib.

Never said it was a win what are you even on about.

I honestly don't particularly rate Shoaib.
