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.

Ok for those arguing Waugh over Lara because Waugh did well vs Donald and the Ws. And did well vs Ambrose/Walsh. Shouldn't that also apply to Sachin? With McGrath in Australia's attack, Sachin averages in the 30s and similarly vs South Africa and Pakistan of the 90s. Therefore Steve Waugh= batsman of the 90s.

some dumb double standard, Sachin's output against Donald is legit lower than Lara's, the same logic for Waugh > Lara applies to Sachin too, not like Waugh did very well against the Ws either
