This thread hasn't discussed Lara's relatively less impressive overseas record enough.

This thread also hasn't discussed Viv's relatively less impressive home record as well.

Lara toured India just once and averaged 33 in 3 Tests.
Lara toured NZ 3 times and averaged 37 in 7 Tests.
Surprisingly he doesn’t average 50+ in any country.

@Johan post the averages.

Would take too much work but I'm pretty sure he got bullied by them pre-debut (1974) but did well against them in 80s

Didn't meant as bad but he was largely the 2nd best batsman at home in the 80s after initially Greenidge and then Haynes. Though yeah stellar to England and has a Great series (if not ATG) against all 3 of India, Pakistan and New Zealand.
