The better cricketer?
Don't think so honestly. Think Nayudu was clearly a superior batsman.Lala ji by a distance
The opposite was generally considered true at the time, as reflected in their FC numbers. Lala was considered much more naturally gifted and a great strokemaker where as Nayudu would get in there with more of a never-say-die attitude. He wasn't considered exceptional even in the domestic scene.Don't think so honestly. Think Nayudu was clearly a superior batsman.
Nayudu has a much longer career though, way too long. It's interesting since most sources I have read rated Nayudu really highly, though I think he's tendency to hit big 6s is a significant factor for that. And Lala's Test batting numbers just suck, as does his English FC numbers (Peterhrt posted them sometime ago, was 25ish).The opposite was generally considered true at the time, as reflected in their FC numbers.
