some of the greatest serieses Cricketers ever had, not just about the aggregates but also the way the aggregates were achieved.

Ian Botham 1981 Ashes

Batting: 399 @ 36.27, 93 Strike Rate, 2 hundreds in 12 innings.
Bowling: 34 @ 20.59, 48 strike rate, 3 fifers and 1 tenfer.

Brian Lara 1999 Sir Frank Worrell trophy

Batting: 546 @ 91, 65 strike rate, 3 hundreds in 7 innings

greater series?

Botham's Ashes. It was the greatest cricket series I'd seen at the time and still lives long in the memory all those years later.

A better comparison for Botham is the Sobers series where he scored 700 runs and took 20 wkts. Regarding the above probably Botham since his runs and wkts together had more impact on the series. Lara did face a much better team though.
