I remember back then when they were a scary team. Only a handful - the best of the best - could match up to their standards.

Who else loves this channel for their old timey amazing highlights?

@@incognitokumar900 No 36 ... Lara was born about August 1969 ... this was December 2005.

Brian Lara & Saeed Anwar are most elegant Batsmen of all time✅

Rohan Kanhai Of Guyana played one shot never been repeated in cricket history 🇬🇾💖🇮🇳Fallback And Fade away hook, That's In The Guinness Book! ☮️

​@@winstonbachan9661 what shot can you please tell

@@lyricisticworld2005 Fall Back And Fade away hook That's In the Guinness Book of Record's ☮️

Sachin played from the textbook? There are several shots that he invented of his own … what makes Lara’s shots look unique is that high backlift and unmistakable flair otherwise he didn’t toy much with the ball … played every shot in the textbook

@@Wild2theCore if you observe his innings, Lara had the body balance of a trapeze artist and playing exquisite shots from that position combined with the timing even with the high backlit makes it unique in its own right. Sachin's shots seemed very novel coz combined with the technique, he scored the runs at a quicker pace. Else, like Gavaskar before him, Sachin was pretty much "by the books".

Crowd response even before he got to the wicket. This type of genious comes along once in 50 years.

He got run out on that 277...otherwise it could have been 300..

He is the best i have ever seen. Ricky is close, kallis and de villiers. But just Lara's style is so good to watch!

@@madunit1997 Didnt watch Amla did you wrist of steel

@@danyalparacha1761 3 amla will not make one Lara There will never be another Lara

@@danyalparacha1761 u must be crazy amla is not in the same league

There has to be a stat for the amount of times that Lara contributed over 40/50% of the teams total. Mind blowing how he didn’t relent to the pressure of captaincy either.

I think your statement is the reason why I rate him above Sachin. He was, for a long period, the WI's batting line up

Ryan Webb Could be said it was the same for ST in the first half of his career. Carried the weight and expectations of over a billion people for as long as he did and often the team crumbled without him scoring. Captaincy is probably the key difference between the two. ST didn’t have the personality for that, I think. Though aside from the amazing champions trophy comeback win against England, the WI didn’t win a whole lot under Lara.

Once sehawag also score 201 and India total score near 310. Both sehawag & Lara have capacity to score double-triple hundred with good strike rate.

Although Lara broke Allan Border's 12 year old test runs aggregate record during this innings, and any Lara century represents the highest echelon of brilliant batsmanship, his 182 off only 235 balls 5 years earlier on the same ground was a superior innings, for that particular series was still alive, even thought the windies went on to be whitewashed, whereas this 226 was in a dead rubber.

McGrath and Lee yes.... however Lara was an absolute beast against spinners....he averaged 57 against SL and 61 against Aus... mind you he faced off Warne and Murali a lot and came out on top on most occasions

Don't forget Gillespie as well

@@94123abhi i hav never ever heared this name gillispe

Lara did it for 7 or 8 times but sachin for 20 times when chips were down

@@shivasaishakthi8994 😄😄 Lara did it for almost all of his career not just 7 or 8 times

Absolutely true ...not only the words u have described. But each letter of it speaks of his Class🎉 The One & Only Lara...

@@SureshKumar-tq4zm Thanks for acknowledgement!

Especially, Australia

@@SaiBaba-zi5my well arent you a fun little racist. Every batsman or bowler from a touring side in aus gets a standing ovation for an oUtstanding performance. We actually LOVE when our opposition puts up a fight. We just hate mouthy little racist cuntz who are always bleating when they get flogged.

Absolutely.....just a maestro displaying his art....

Flamboyant comparison!

You gave a great compliment.

No doubt man. No doubt.

I'm sure da Vinci brushes stroke are same as Brian Lara bat flare, pleasure to eyes

There was another one, Sir Vivian Richards. I was in Eden Gardens Kolkata giving him standing ovation with 90,000 people when he was walking in to bat in 1988 (or 1987).

@@malayaranjanpati94 here you go.. an ignorant cricket “fan”…

Not to forget they had another class bowler in Stuart Mac Gill

Definitely

Rajab Ali mainly because few people actually scored a lot against their teams 😂

Infinite times..always Lara kya mara.....

So according to your grand uncle: “ when Lara is at his BEST., CRICKET gets worse” ? Your grand uncle either had problems with understanding cricket or English or both, but probably the latter.

@@guharupHere you are being a critic when it is clear that you do not understand the way English is used.

And then there was the little matter of Stuart Mac Gill

I agree on that. He truly is The PRINCE !!!

and the old traditional sporting values and ethos of Australian sporting public

@@roostersbays95 true.

The standing ovation was given because it was the last time he walked into the ground for an internal game. Same gestures were given to sachin as well in many venues around the world

@@vasudevrameshbabu3427 why do you guys jump in with unrelating comments. Who asked you why or to whom was standing ovation given or not?

@@ilovegurusahib because sachin fans are the most insecure pathetic lot i have ever seen. Every video they have to come and tell everyone how sachin is better than whoever is being highlighted. Sad tbh as he really is great but his fans are woat

Exactly, it was a very good decision. Ball was marginally pitched outside leg, and Height could also be a factor.

@@ImranKhan-he8bd right👍

This i was the only one herd that an he didnt even say sorry good umpiring

height was definitely an issue it was way high

when the team toured here it was entertaining and fun

@Rishi J Rishi i truly agree in test cricket lara was ultimate batsman he was class above the rest his shot selection batting grace was a sheer delight to the eye he was a aboulute legend of the game Great BRAIN CHARLES LARA🔥🔥

@Rishi J whats the reason? Can you tell me?

@@incognitokumar900 See @25th second

In Australia It was always fun for him to smash Aussies Throughout his career

super hand eye coordination

That's the subtlety of the gentleman, B.C. Lara! He indeed was smooth and soothing as a gentle breeze blowing and at the same time a category-5 hurricane force winds with boundaries and placements!

David Gower was the most stylish, pure ballet.

spoken from a true Gentleman...

ur right bro i am agree with that

As a West Indian I miss him. What a player. Miss seeing those beautiful strokes. The flair, the high back lift. The current West Indies team can barely score 200 in a test match.

Could not agree more bro.. test cricket lost its enthusiasm after Lara and windies quickies

@@floydalexander4318 Not only now, even during Lara's time, in his absence that was the case.....Lara the Legend

Yes it's something not said often of Warnie, I remember him also congratulating Flintoff after 80 odd in one of the 05 Ashes matches when he had just played a near match winning innings. Apparently some of the other Aussies & support crew didn't like it and so told him quietly to stop.

@@kurtjohnston6620 it takes a real genius to appreciate another.

He is a true champion

rip

except if you pay close attention at 6:11 Brett lee also does the same. It is NOT an uncommon gesture.

Lee is a kid in front of Warne.. Warne was genuine , Lee a poor actor

Same thing Sachin mentioned in Warnie’s memorial … Sachin Lara and Warnie best of friends and best of the champions

Brett Lee would regularly shake the hand of centurion when they walked off either after a dismal or at the end of the day/session

😂😂😂

For Lara no games plz

Its Aleemdaar

@Uday. Your observations are worthy of scientific reward! Congrats on that!!!

Lara was one of the best, but don't forget Andy Flower

@@supamaka u dont forget v v s Laxman

Vvs Laxman played Warne the best

I think u forget Vinod kambli

Vvs is the best against spin

That's because his team mates didn't have anywhere near the class of the great west indies batsmen and bowlers of the late 1970s to early 1990s.

@@Bernie8330 true , he could achieved more benchmarks if his team performed better.

They didn't have the discipline. Of all the members of that lineup.....only Chanderpaul fulfilled his talent. Sarwan should have averaged close to 60.........gayle too was woefully inconsistent.....samuels was even more inconsistent and more arrogant to boot. I'm not saying lara was an angel but this guy's should have come to the party more often. How many times dis we see lara score 170-200 and the team total was 380-400 when usually an individual score like that ends up in a 500+ team total

Yes you are right

Optimistic Guy that’s not a Very optimistic thing to say

Only Lara and Tendulkar are the two guys who could play shane warne really well and sometimes even dominate him. Lara is the best player of spin ever no doubt about that.

@@tracewoods5980 There's a difference For Lara it is off spin not a leg spin so not a tough thing he can just play like against other off spinners

Sorry l! It never looked plumb! Only to Australian commentators it did. If you see old videos and number of times Lara and Sachin have been given out wrongly by umpires, specially in Australia you will know that they not just had a great team but no 12 and 13 too ( in form of umpires ) playing for them. No wonder neutral umpires and DRS have now made it better. Remember Sydney test of 2008 ?
