when Bishop came he was express , but attenuated with injury , so , no , not express /pleonasm not double negativeOut of the bowlers you mentioned, only Lee counts as "express" but I don't think he was high quality.
These were the high quality express quicks that were playing during Lara's time:
Donald
Bond
Waqar
Wasim
Akhtar
Steyn
Patterson
Not sure if Ambrose and Bishop were express, but in any case, Patterson, Ambrose and Bishop played for Lara's team and so it doesn't matter anyway. Steyn did debut during Lara's career but he never played against him. Lara didn't have a single century against the rest of the bowlers mentioned.
Bond was fast much like Ryan Harris
