Brian lara vs Steve Waugh

[govinda indian fan]

If sachin faced his own attack would have averaged 65+in 90s instead of 58 and Waugh his own would have less then 50. Amazing how people find ways to down play sachin

 

[Narayana]

But never faced his own attack. Best in the world

I think Wi attack was better in the 90s .

Aus with mcwarne more allround

Bro he averaged 70 (66 extract )away from home against similar strength attack as 90s aus ,
In comparison to sachin tendulkar's 42 avg.

Waugh quite easily for me.
Starting from 1993 Ashes - Waugh went insanely good for pretty much rest of the decade.

 

[pardus]

Aus with mcwarne more allround

Tendulkar didn't face much of McGrath in the 90s decade - and in all the tests that he did (just in the 90s), he averaged less than 40.

Waugh's guts and performance in that 1994-95 series in the West Indies inspired his team to play above and beyond themselves.
Believe it or not, it was a second string Aussie side (particularly in the fast bowling department - all the primary choices were injured, giving McGrath the opportunity to show the world who he was).
For those of us who had been through the domination of West Indies throughout the 80s, there are no words what a landmark series that was.
To me, one of the most important series in history of cricket. Waugh was the man of that series.
No matter how weak you now think West Indies were at that time, if you had been through a decade and a half of seeing West Indies not losing a single Test series either at home or away, and more often that not flattening opposition everywhere (especially at home), you would be in awe of what Waugh did in that entire series (wish he didn't claim the dropped catch of Lara in the first Test though, Lara was batting quite well on 65).

On top of that, Waugh consistently owned Donald.

He averged 47 in 1999 bgt vs mcgrath and warne esp got some umpiring howlers from drayl hair if not he would have averaged 55+

 

[Johan]

Waugh definitely more capable against Pace and Bounce but less so against spin and seam, imo

@pardus

This was when sachin was set on 61 looking good for a hundred and would have scored if not for biased umpiring. Got couple more dogdy decisions in next two test matches even aussies acknowledged that and awarded man of series to sachin ahead of ponting and mcgarth who were leading run scorer and wicket taker

Where is the other incidents vedio?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Waugh's runoutput outside of minnow bashing (Ban/Zim) is 40.7 per inning, don't think I can rate that above Lara tbh

Waugh played a single innings in the 90s vs Lara. Had a Great record both against every team, especially Away except a 3 match SL tour. For 90s only, it's definitely close imo.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Don Bradman 974 series is the greatest.

Close 2nd. The quality of 213 and 153* was just otherworldly.

oh, Yeah, Well then that's just prime Waugh vs Lara who struggled in second phase of 90s

Read the Thread title dude..... It's literally just the 90s.

Or Waugh vs lara in 90s bowling friendly pitches where lara struggled against top teams?

I am high

Lara's prime came during highway era, Waugh dominated the world during the 90s era one of hardest era for batting.

Performance wise Waugh better batsman.
Asthetically lara Better and I think people likes more to those batters whose batting looks good to eyes,
Like most of swing blowers are pleasing to the eyes than the seam blowers .
That's why majority of the people outside this community rates Wasim Akram better than McGrath in test, ODIs, in every department.
