Sure not saying Lara was poor against any spinner but didn't dominate those ones.

Sehwag is a bit better than Lara. My vibes comment was more because the best spin player title just feels more comfy on Lara.
Lara is not the best player I've seen, that's comfortably Virender Sehwag. Lara is in the top 5 for me, for those I've seen.

Most of people would agree that there had been players who were better than Tendulkar against pace. They just happened to be pretty below him against spin. So no one is bringing the argument "Sachin is so good against pace than Viv Richards" despite Richards struggling almost against no pacer.
Likewise I'd only rank Sehwag definitively above Lara. As you've even stated yourself, the Murali of the 90s was a far cry from his later iteration. Therefore, if Sidhu did well vs Murali then, the man was far from his peak. And yes, there were times Murali may have caused Lara issues but generally, Lara had the better of that battle.
