Briefly in his career Lara was uncomfortable against short pitched bowling. But the great ma started swaying out of the way especially when he wasn’t going to take them on and wanted to bat long.

uncomfor isn’t probably the right word but he used to get hit some times

maybe Hope needs to do that. He is indecisive and because of that finds himself in a tangle more often than not

That was a mental block that lasted a few months and was more due to the dispute over the South Africa tour than short pitched bowling. Shai has a serious technical chink vs hostile bowling at any speed. I would ask him to talk to Gary Sobers, who most West Indies batsmen, Lara included before the 2001 SL tour included, sto when need technical assistance
