Jumno

First Class Debutant
If we prioritize memorable performances only, then Gooch > Lara and Tendulkar.

Both Lara and Tendulkar have played few great innings against great bowling attacks, but nothing in their careers can match Gooch's batting against West Indies and Pakistan in the early 90s.
Lara had two memorable innings against Australia in WI 99.

I'm sure he also scored many many runs in a Sri Lanka series.
 

Kirkut

International Regular
Lara had two memorable innings against Australia in WI 99.

I'm sure he also scored many many runs in a Sri Lanka series.
Lara in 99 and early 2000s was peak stuff but even those performances pale in comparison with Gooch's batsmanship in the early 90s. Hardest batting conditions ever.
