LaraYes thats what i was implying in to point 2 "Tendy averages better than Lara vs good/great attacks, when i made this thread a couple years ago. Read back points 3,4.5 & 6 again.
On the stats you got their, you have some mistakes, firstly you have to look at these good/great attacks at their peaks.
Australia good/great attacks isn't just limited to McGrath/Warne also. 91/92 with McDermott, Hughes & 2007/08 with Lee/Clark with be a good attack. Only 2003/04 Tendy faced an average attack down under.
When looking at Donald, especially when looking at Lara's record. AD peak was 92 & 98/99. The Donald Lara faced in 2001, although still solid was not at his peak. Plus when you talk about SAs bowling its the Donald/Pollock combo.
So when i say Tendy averages more than Lara againts good/great attacks its not OVERALL career - Home & awat. Its average 40+ in a series againts these great bowler, Tendulkar did it more so than Lara, especially in the opponents back-yard.
