Who was the better batsman, Lara or Viv?

Viv - by a country mile.

Viv better against genuine pace (without a helmet) ....Lara probably better against spin...very difficult but because Viv handled pace better was just give him the edge!

Did you know that Lara didnt score one degge degge ton in India while Viv has 3?

Against India, Viv has 8 tons while Lara has only 2…

Lara was very good against spin - but he never had to face a 3-prong or 4-prong spin attack
