" 'My hamstring has been bothering me for five to six months but I’ve only missed one one-day international because of it,’ "Lara said.

Ok but I normally bring up the 1996 series as the example where he was owned. 2000 is just an add on.

Yeah but context should matter for everyone. Lara got owned in 1996-97 i agree but in 2000 he was clearly injured but no one not you not Subs gives him a pass for that. That's being hypocritical.

In any event, it doesn't change the fact that Lara was significantly better vs McGrath than Sachin 45 >36.
