Viv vs smith vs lara. Who is better batsmen in subcontinent

[govinda indian fan]

Who had better innings in sc

 

[Johan]

Impossible to split, Viv was excellent in India and one of the best ever in Pakistan, Lara was average in India and was good in Pakistan but had the greatest Asia tour of all time in Sri Lanka, Smith is genuinely fantastic in all Asian countries but perhaps we should wait for how his career goes, might have another India series and another Pakistan series.

 

[subshakerz]

Not Lara.

I go with Smith based on his consistency in three countries.

So according to you lara is best

He had the highest highs but also the lowest lows, kind of the story of his career, I think Viv and Smith are slightly better than him in Asia.

Its shame lara didn't tour india in 2002.

Imo aus are set tour pak in 2028. Smith is rumoured to retire by 27. So might not get another opportunity in pakistan

Bit of an overstatement. He had one series that's among the best ever in Asia, but that's about it.

 

[govinda indian fan]

Smith in India, Viv in Pakistan.

Wow

 

[subshakerz]

Its shame lara didn't tour india in 2002.

Lara flopped in 97 against the 2Ws in Pakistan. Even in 2006 Shoaib was missing.

when discussing the greatest touring Batsman to Pakistan, I do think it usually comes down to Gavaskar/Viv/Crowe for me so I termed Viv as such. Though I'll admit that I might be a little lacking in knowledge on post-2000 Pakistan cricket.

Just checked, Also topped run output on average in 1986, made one less run than Miandad but also played one less innings than him, could be said he was the best/most consistent Batsman in either team in that series too. Though, absurdly low scoring series.

Amarnath

very good shout.

 

[Migara]

Lara played greater spinners
Viv has better performances
Smith neither, but has played all conditions with distinction.

Very difficult to seperate.
