Brian Lara was simply so flamboyant,&quot; Lee has said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You could bowl six balls to him in the exact same area, let us say at the top of the off-stump, if I aimed at that spot for six consecutive deliveries, someone like a Brian Lara would hit me down the ground, he could work me behind square, he could cut me behind by a point, he could drive through the covers, he could hit me straight down the ground to the offside. He is so unpredictable,&quot; said Lee of Lara in an interview to International Cricket Council (ICC).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The former Australia pace bowler, who picked 310 Test wickets and 380 ODI wickets said Tendulkar had great technique but he could guess the direction of his shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You look at a guy like Sachin Tendulkar, if I bowl a full outside off stump, then I knew he could hit me through extra cover, or if I bowled straight through the off stump, he would cut me down the ground through mid-off. If I bowl on leg stump, he would hit me through the wicket, if I bowled short, he would either cut or pull me. So, both were technically great batsmen I have played against. With Sachin, you knew where the ball was going to go, but you had to stop the ball,&quot; added Lee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He had an amazing cricket technique, a great temperament, and a brilliant cricket brain.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
