Lara was more special I believe, though Steyn is the more statistical outlier. I'll go with Lara just, but expect Steyn to win this as I rate Lara higher than most here.

Voted Lara

Bro??!! Against my better judgment: Steyn. I rank Lara the batsman around the same level with bowlers like Imran, Akram and Ambrose ie right after Steyn.

Respectively, these adjectives you use are worse than CricketWeb titles.

It's a noun actually. And Lara was a genius in the sense that how he played achieved a level of excellence but totally defied the playbook.

And I'm still trying to figure out CW titles.

Disappointed. And you accuse me of having an anti Lara agenda.

Was Sachin a Genius?

Was Sachin a Genius?

No he was a master. The Little Master.

I go over the distinction here. But essentially, geniuses are the ones who play in their own way and redefine their skill. Masters achieve technical proficiency to the utmost degree.

Masters vs Geniuses in ATGs

Is it fair to use these two categories to describe those who are ATGs? Masters are those who are the most accomplished technicians in terms of getting the temperament and technique all sorted out, and taking the fundamentals of cricket to their highest level of skill in performance. This is not...
