By that standard Viv may never had a great series against a great attack. None of 76 Eng, 79 Aus and 80 Pak had two legit great bowlers. Closest is 88 at home against Pak but Wasim was still very young and hardly better than Morkel then.

Btw, Lee was in the middle of his brief worldclass phase when he faced Tendulkar in 2007/8.
I've used lee in past arguments and you know when and with whom. And as I recall, you were quite dismissive of him. Moving on though do you honestly believe thay Australia 92, Australia 2008 had atg attacks?

Stating the obvious, you don't need an ATG attack to have a great series. Even one worldclass bowler and good enough support is enough. Otherwise please tell me why we should consider Lara 2001 SL a great series since it was just Murali who was ATG?

The only ATG attacks Tendulkar faced are McWarne, Donald Pollock and Ambrose Walsh. Maybe the Pakistanis attack in 99 with Wasim and Saqlain.

Brett Lee only had a brief window after McGrath retired until his injury in 2008 when he was worldclass otherwise was a mid bowler. 2007/8 was a great series against a fairly strong attack.

92 I argue was great in context of scoring two tons away in Aus as a teen.
