Have nothing against Lara though. He was a tremendous bat and a joy to watch.

Greatness recognises greatness.

Problem with SRT threads is that people from both sides (for and against) get emotional.
It happens every time, everywhere, simply incredible

Both of them are greats who played some of iconic test innings against (arguably) history's greatest bowling attacks.

I always liked Brian Lara. The name sounded so cool (as a child). I still rate him higher than SRT. But I'm sure when Kohli and Smith retire, I might change my rankings.
