  • Absolute poetry!! Trindad is blessed.....

  • what did he end up on

  • LARA WAS A LEGENDARY BATSMAN.

  • whats happened to windies :( from back to back world champions to struggling to win a test match :(

  • Brain Lora ! Opss Sorry ! Brain LARA ! What a great batsmen he was .

  • i am gay.hahahaha

  • I still remember this guy piercing the gap between the wicket keeper and first slip quite often and I dont think anybody would have even thought of that gap (was there ever one?) and playing such delicate strokes with exquisite timing so perfectly again and again. Sadly, he retired, but thank god he did not play alongside greats like Gary, Viv, Gordon, Desmond, Clive, Roy, Alvin, Rohan...and the list goes. Otherwise, we would not have had the opportunity of seeing Brian a lot.

  • wasim akram"let me just put it this way. Tendulkar if it is a flat lahore pitch. Lara if it is a fast perth pitch. Both are equally great in their own special way."

  • i m such a guy ... no one can even lick my foot

  • Wow how great is this, I left Trinidad long before Brian was playing, but what treat to see this. Wow such Greatness.

  • the full range of his greatness

  • "Good measure"?

  • loved the voice when the ball struck his bat each time. middle of the bat

  • very well said " Full range of his greatness". Great player

  • @watchonlinecricket It's BR*I*AN LARA!!!

  • I love Brian Lara!!

  • Trinidadian*

  • We trinadian bad so

  • 8 ppl dislike this??? must be south africans.. lol

  • lara is the best of cricket

    

  • The saddest thing was D. Hair has the best view of the Lara over... he didnt deserve it (Hair I mean). Lara is a true great..

  • was this the maximum runs scored in one over in a test match? any one Plz

  • @adigul125 Yep....and he did 26 a couple itmes,check out ' Lara Blasting Pakistan' video.

  • At 0:11, the commentator-"Going, Going and Gone!"-lolz!

  • Any relation to BRIAN LARA ??

  • he's the very best !!! cant say that for the team

  • going... going... GONE..!!!!

  • lmao.....Brain :D

  • @KHANUMT the total runs scored by current pakistan cricket team in both test matches and odis combined not even close to runs scored by sachin tendulkar alone.Thumbs up if you agree.

  • we all love u Brain Lara.. u r just the Best batsman... a treat to watch

    we and the whole cricekt will miss u... as long as the cricket will be played.. the world will salute u and ur achievements

    GREETINGS FROM PAKISTAN

  • Lara should have been in a better cricket team.

  • Lara was a legend...but cricket is a team game....and a legend alone can't do much.

  • @GabbruPakistani Are you freakin kidding me?????? it was like lara was the entire west indies, they always depended on lara to make all the runs , thats why west indies cricket is a fail now they always depend on a player

  • @canadianchillazz

    lol....thts wht exactly i meant to say...but u just could not understand the compact version of my previous comment....let me explain...i said, Lara was a legend..but rest of westindies team during his time was just nothing n thts y the overall record of WI is not so good during recent times...even if they had great individual players like Lara...but cricket is a team game...an individual alone cant do everything when rest of the team is not supportive..hope u get now?

  • @GabbruPakistani oh well sorry i read you wrong lol, its just that here in the west indies lara was a very hated man , he is from trinidad and i heard that the jamaicans and barbadonian and guyanese never like trinidadians , that actually why lara retired from cricket cuz the rest of the team hated him like ( chris gayle, ramnaresh sarwan, correy collymore but he doesnt play anymore)

  • @canadianchillazz

    I dont have much idea about Carabian regions n various ethnical races living there....All i know is THAT BRAIN LARA WAS A LEGENDARY BATSMAN.....thts it....CheeeRssss for Lara...!

  • @GabbruPakistani Lara was never consistent.... that was his problem... we had other good players in his time... we had a great team.... but he only played when he felt like it seemed...and i heard that his attitude sucked..... and im sure there are much better batsmen out there...its just that they tend to only choose players from "major" caribbean islands..... thats why west indies sucks right now.... just saying..... my opinion though.... :D

  • @hill2500 You obviously know nothing about West Indies cricket or Brian Lara thus your opinion is totally wrong....just saying...everyone from the West Indies opinion though.... :D

  • @hill2500 no your comment make no sense. You are saying lara played in a great team and he was inconsistent (Lara averages over 50). Why then has west indies struggled for the past 15 years? No it isn't about lara's "inconsistency" its because they had a poor team. They had no bowlers to replace Walsh and Ambrose.

  • @hill2500 when did laras team was a great team.He scored 20 percent of teams runs It proves how west indies was dependent on him

  • @GabbruPakistani

    yea it is a team game but he cant share his runs with his players

  • @GabbruPakistani Cricket is a team game for sure but, alot comes down to individuals more so than a game of rugby or football.

  • @GabbruPakistani As seen by Wasim Akram and Pakistan

  • @GabbruPakistani Ya wrong. Lara's 400* is barely beatable by a team. Lara's an exemption to you're theory.

  • who won this match?

  • What a player! I remember working in a hotel and did room service for him, one of the most polite, down to earth people, u could meet.As well when he played for a county side in England, a player was making a mess in the bar and he even told that player to tidy up! Not like arrogant sports player you get now, true gentleman on and off the pitch!!!

  • While both Sachin & Lara r capable of adjusting to conditions quickly, both have their own +ves & -ves. Sachin curbs his shots if required, but Lara is an instinct player, if a ball deserves to go to the boundary, the situation that his team is in doesnt matter him. Lara is more flamboyant, Sachin is a bit careful. Sachin had the luxury of Ganguly, Dravid, etc, Lara had NOBODY to cover (maybe Gayle that too only the later phase). Given all this, I would rate Lara a tad higher than Sachin.

  • @shr011104 lara made bigger hundreds as well

  • BRAIN LARA!

    BRAIN.

    Was Pinky the bowler??

  • @CoolStoryBrosauce "One is a genius, the other's insane..."

    Pinky must be Chris Gayle because his shots are insane

  • @CoolStoryBrosauce nahh perky

  • @CoolStoryBrosauce That pornstar Pinky. Lolzzzzzz

  • Thank you for uploading. That is the greatest batsmen in modern cricket without doubt. If someone is ahead I think Don Bradman is the only one ahead of him. I haven't seen Viv Richards but Lara's record s and the way of playing prove he is the best.

  • herschelle gibbs - 6,6,6,6,6,6

    first time in ODI's

  • one of the two pillars of batting in last two decades.Carried a great legacy on his shoulders for more than 15 years.Hope of an entire history. Last member of a great team .Last of a great heritage starting from george headley.After is retirement West indies sank to lowest possible point .He is really great .Scored more than 20 perceent of teams runs.Most runs in lost matches 5 double centuries in losing cause.This really proves how unlucky he was .

  • His Excellency! Brain Charles Lara!!!!!!!!!

  • he was my favourite batsman to watch...such a real pleasure to watch...i like to watch him more than tendulkar and this is coming from an indian

  • is this guy related to brian lara coz he plays like him

    anywho brain lara is a really good player.

  • Class!!!

  • peterson has 6 youtube accounts

  • 6 people wish they could be brian lara

  • possiably one of the greatest cricketers of all time

  • is this chap related to Brian Lara?

  • i could do better than him lol JK im not superman

  • Bradman was and still is the best

  • Ya after Tendulkar ! Thanx.

  • nobody was better at playing spinners then him

  • best batter ever.

  • in this situation why not just bowl a quicker ball like Afridi did to Blewett years ago?Change of pace is always an asset.

  • @nphanlon1973 I think on the last ball he bowled it quicker and straighter than the previous 5, but then lara still had that covered loll

  • Lara at his best

  • Sehwag is Asif's bunny if you have not folowed the outings the two had between them. Sehwag cant even walk into a club team of 80s,

  • fuck off lara make runs every sachin make runs on asian dead wicket

  • how agile foot works he owned! look at the to and fro foot works in first shot! thats d thing which attracted me to watch his cricket matched irrespective of teams! God's amazing gift to world cricket!

    Never b fool to compare him others! he is best in his own style and responsibilities!

  • Racist pig Hair is the umpire

  • Lara was a great batsman no doubt.But because of his attitude the downfall of windies cricket began.Among the current players only Sehwag can score 400 runs. But the problem with our Sehwag is when he is on 399 he tries to hit a sixer and gets out. When whole country is disappointed for not equalling Laras record' he simply laughs and say I am not bothered. I dont know who was Vinoo Mankad and who is Lara? That is Sehwag.

  • @vbk2312,

    Dont think its fair to blame West Indies fall on Lara. Besides they dominated cricket for so long. It would be boring if they dominated any longer. Same for the recent Australian dominance which is ending.

  • @vbk2312 Sehwag is a Flat pitch bully...! He's gonna get owned by Steyn & Morkel soon in South Africa.... Wait & see....!

  • Whos Brain Lara?. and what did he get in that Innings.

  • Comment removed

  • @ftp44 - year was 2003 (If memory serves me right). 03/04 tour in Sth Africa. I remember, he scored 202 in this innings. was a hot summers day on the east coast S.A, this game was at the wanderer's (Jo'burg). Great tour great memories.

  • Great !

  • if i could choose to bat like Sachin, Lara or Ponting I'd flip a coin. Each are better at their own game than eachother, but all are legends

  • Comment removed

  • lara was great. i m from pakisttan bt i love him

  • Tendulkar the best ever.confirmed all the experts bcoz of his technique.One can show videos of Sachin to youngsters who wanna learn cricket but can u show Lara's, his game is completely different and it definetly is not copy book cricket.Lara's foot work never cud be understood and one cud not make out his technique

  • @dheer1231 experts like whom? well that is what makes lara special dont u know that. lara doesnt play text book cricket he plays to entertain and had a style that only he was blessed with. plus lara technique against spinners was far better than that of tendulkar and i will explain to you. lara batting 5 men around the bat silly point, silly mid off, silly mid on, short leg and leg slip and none would ever stand a chance of catching him that is how specail the guy was.

  • @MultiSazam Who said Lara was best against spinners? Every spinner was destroyed by Sachin be it Shane or the other company.U wanna talk about entertainment then I tell u wat Virendre Sehwag has no footwork at all and has destroyed all the attacks.So do we call him the best ever ? Hell no.One shd understand that there is something called copybook cricket and Tendulkar is good at tat, Lara is also the best but we have to go by rules.Sachin owns.

  • @dheer1231 every spinner like whom? sachin destroyed warne but so did lara and lara did it to a point where warne was dropped and said he was going to retire..... every spinner was destroyed by sachin? please tell me when. mendis and muralitharan caught him him in sri lanka about 2 years ago and did he destroy them? no he didnt he scored 95 runs and average 15 and both mendis and murali got him out 5 out of 6 times. when did you say sachin destroyed muralitharan again? am waiting.

  • @MultiSazam Brian Lara: Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal.

    Brain Charles Lara often called as bunny of Mcgrath got out 26 times to him in tests.

    Forget it if I talk abt stats its going to turn out worst.

    One has to check the game and the technique.DO u understand copybook cricket or u just go by "Born In West Indies so I will Support only Lara.?"

  • @dheer1231 do you understand what stats really is? i dont think you understand... go and check cricinfo records and see how much times you see sachin tendulkar name... please go and check. but tendulkar himself said lara is the greatest so whats your point?

  • @MultiSazam Plz answer this to me.

    U would consider great if he plays copybook cricket and scores a hundred or

    a person who scores a hundred but doesn't play copybook cricket.? I am checking wat it means to u "COPY BOOK CRICKET".

    Tendulkar is the best when it comes to copybook cricket.

    Lara is all improvisation.No doubt he is also my favorite But when u talk abt any sport one has to go by the text book rules.

  • @dheer1231 okay i understand your point... well i never dispute that you know dheer... tendulkar is the best copy book cricketer i have ecer seen and he plays in the arch better than everyone else... lara uses the crease a lot and always try to make room to score that is just the way he plays... most west indians play like that viv richards and garfield sobers were no different but i see your point

  • @dheer1231 garfield sobers once said it makes no sense to play a beautiful cover drive straight to the cover fielder and get no runs when you could of hit it through mid wicket and get 4 runs... dontn get me wrong where technique and text book are concern tendulkar is definately number one...... lara in my opinion plays more to entertain... how many batsmen in the world would of done what lara did in that over? not many! they would be playing to come back the next day

  • @MultiSazam I think that sumarises our discussion then.! i believe both Tendulkar and Lara are cricketing Gods and both have unique style of playing cricket.there is no use comparing both of them and calling one of them better.I dont want to answer ur other question abt how many wud have hit fours and sixes in the last over of the day bcoz if i answer that the discussion wud come to the starting point again.Thanks and bye

  • @dheer1231 yea you are right they have thier own unique style,, tendulkar superb technique and very compact... lara had flamboyance and flair and was a great entertainer... sachin is also an entertainer as well but i believe he put more price on his wicket than lara did...

  • @MultiSazam You are right that Sachin puts more price on his wicket than Lara and that's because a billion fans of his (apart from team and management) pray that he does so; and Sachin is responsible enough to do so.

  • @dheer12 no dont get it twisted about sehwah mate.... lara is not just the best spin player of this generation but he is the best spin player of all times... and why is that so? simple because not just he has 2 shots to every ball from spinners but he picks the length of the ball so quickly its unbelievable... why did you think murali said lara is the best? lara is not afraid to use his feet and he launches into the attack right from the very start.

  • @MultiSazam ha ha u need to Check the stats first and talk......

    For a change lets hear wat the players had to say...

    Shane Warne: I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six... I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player.

    Steve Waugh: You take Don Bradman away and he is next up, I reckon.

  • @dheer1231,

    To my knowledge Sachin has not dominated Murali like Lara did.

    Murali himself said that Lara is a very difficult batsmen to bowl to because he sees the ball very early and moves all over the crease very quickly.

    Kevin Pietersen has said that Murali is the toughest spinner anyone can face in test cricket.

  • @sonofthedestroyer So u mean to say bcoz Muralitharan is a good bowler and he said Lara is good so Lara is the best batsman?

    Then how abt Shane Warne naming Sachin as the best and Lara as the second best.

    Search it google as "top cricketers list of shane warne".

    If u r basing on Murali then I will base on Shane Warne

  • @dheer1231,

    yeah fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

    But keep in mind that Lara has clobbered Shane Warne and Murali consistently.

    Sachin was good against Warne. Not so much against Murali.

    I have seen warne get eaten alive by Lara in several games. But Warne feels no need to say anything about it.

    For example see how he gets hit by Lara in the 153 innings Lara made. Its on youtube.

    I cant say Lara is better than Sachin. I simply prefer him thats all.

  • @sonofthedestroyer liking a batsman is different to rating a batsman.Don Bradman is considered the best of the batsmen in the world but seeing him play might get me bored.And Lara as per my opinion does not play text book cricket.He scores well but.Now Sehwag can also do tat.But when u ask an expert for a perfect technique ,textbook cricket or a copy book cricket tat any learning cricketer should follow then it is SACHIN TENDULKAR.I am not his fan I love Yuvraj as such.

  • @dheer1231 Twatty Murali is far better than Warne in all aspects of cricket...! So what ever Murali says count more than Warne.....! Unless u are a Media personal.....!

  • LARA THE BEST TEST BATSMAN BECAUSE HE GOT 400. end of argument.

  • WoWWW...... 150 TO 178.........

  • its brian, not brain.

  • @hypersonicdragon u diot go n chk who got to 11000 runs in lesser no of innings and with better average i m an encyclopedia of cricket records..u sick freak go and get records and fact clear the greatest cricketer ever is sachin ramesh tendulkar...

  • @RITEONFIRE They are both legends of the game...but the greatest of all time is clearly Don Bradman. An avg of 99.94 on uncovered wickets will never be beaten. He made 6996 in 52 matches. Thats unbeatable.

  • @RITEONFIRE wait a minute! hahaha lara took less innings to reach 1100 runs smarty.... he also took less to reach 9000 and both him and sachin took the same amout to reach 10000. are you living in another planet?

  • @MultiSazam u go and chk the record first...and then tlk after correcting urself........

  • same 2 u

  • i am from india but his time is over

  • @amirnightmare shut ur dirty damn hell up..u fuck idiot..........

  • sachin is an old pussy... let him fuckin retire

  • @amirnightmare which country are u from.

  • I really dig the title of this video.

  • entertaining cricket

  • There will never be another Brian Lara. Legend.

  • he look playing like tweety20

  • look at the near empty ground test cricket is dead and im glad cos it's boring watching someone plodding every ball hardly off the square 20-20 is THE ONLY way forward even full 50 over odi's are dying out now to 20-20 when i was younger i used to love watching all 5 days of a test match not now the only test cricket they should keep is the ashes

  • @DAJAZDJ1 20/20 is a load of shit

  • lmao I can't stop laughing at the "im such a gay" thing LOL. Darell Dair is a prick I must say! great batting from Lara though, one of the very best the game has seen.

  • the bowler could dart a faster one. or a wider one, hell anything to save embarrassment.

    lack of imagination :@

  • great batting but most importantly worst bowling so flighted direct on the bat it deserve 6 sixes

  • Lara destroyed this bowlers career..a true cricket legend

  • @Boyrulezz if he had destroyed his career.. why is he in world cup????

  • @Boyrulezz That's what I thought, but Piterson's back in the SA worldcup squad.

  • Brian Lara the greatest batsman and sports star of all time

  • Sanath-Lara- Jayasuria

  • Lara and Sachin cannot be compared. Lara is an endurance batsman, a test batsman. Sachin is an ODI batsman, his skill is completely different as is his rate of scoring. Lara got 400 from around 580 balls, Sachin got 200 from 147...you can't compare. The challenges of Test and ODI are completely different, Sachin isn't the best at Test, Lara isn't the best at ODI.

  • @cheezman3495,

    Lara got 501 not out in a county 3 day game i think.

  • @sonofthedestroyer

    He did indeed. I'm not sure who it was against, but considering it was First Class not International it doesn't really count :)

  • He was a joy to watch. Supreme confidence and control.

  • unstoppable when he gets going ;)

  • Sachin Tendulkar is more consistent. Thats why he is better than Lara

  • @bambaikababu2 yes he is more consistent, how many 200 ++ he made . sachin is the better ODI player but test LARA is better. i think he have 9 200+++ and 2 300++

    = better that tendulkar in (TEST)

  • @MATMICSHA need not to score 200 evry inning..u must b scoring more hundreds and fifties unlike selfish lara.....

  • @RITEONFIRE yea and sachin need to score runs when his team lost early wickets and win a test match for his country that is what he needs to do

  • @MATMICSHA nar sachin is not the better one day player he might be a better one day opener and i am still not to sure about that because lara was brilliant when he opened the as well.... sachin tendulkar has no clue what is going on when he bats in the middle... to make my argument clear he average 10 when he bats at number 3.

  • Lol...I imagine Lara had the ability to send any spinner into a PTSD stage normally associated with war veterans!

    .

    .

    .

    .

    BTW, PTSD= Post-traumatic stress disorder!

  • even tough lara got 400* but still that test match was drawn , rest of the series WI lost all matches

  • @wolfsword85 400* takes time to be acheived my man this shows why he is a good cricketer and even a better captain because he could have more i know it i watched that match

  • ooo man we were spoiled... Lara, Tendulkar, Dravid, Jaywardene, De Silva, Flower, Waugh, Ponting, Inzamam, M. Yousuf.. all roughly the same generation, all stylists, a joy to watch, now they have decayed away, all we have left with Sehwag, Taylor and Gayle

  • best batsman of his era. the only batsman u would put in the same category are steve waugh, ricky ponting, and tendulkar (from the last 20 years)

  • Who's BRAIN Lara??

  • lara the god of cricket........

  • Can anybody believe this was the penultimate over of the day and West Indies was trying to avoid a follow-on? Yes it was, but only the genius Brian Charles Lara can do this, simply the greatest.

  • Lara is literally the bollox

  • Lara is the Best ever Batsman in the world... period.

  • no i am

    Lol jokes

  • @aliabideen forgot about bradman?

  • @TheCommentingAccount Bradman is one of the best but i think LARA is the best ever......the one!

  • @aliabideen

    lara's test average - 52.88

    bradmans test average - 99.94

    hmm....

    and also bradman got centuries in 29 out of 80 innings.

    but lara got centuries in 34 out of 232 innings.

    i'd agree with you if you said lara is one of the best ever.

    but no one in history can compare to bradman.

  • fuking lara man he was too good, legend

  • hey trinikagekavir..... dont talk crap.... i am a indian living in tnt and i have seen you people changing sides in a match so quickly.... u abandon ur team if they are not performing good in a match and start cheering opposition.... shame on you.... just lime and dont crap......

  • wait if you are indian youre saying u change sides quick too................wth u dont know me so go fuck off i always support the west indies and no we dont change sides in a match u dumb fuckin bullaman

  • well if that makes or keeps you happy then be that way..... what i have witnessed myself i told you and that i witnessed on many occassions in caribbean.... and i am indian indian not a lost 2 or 3rd generation indian of caribbean....peace and enjoy

    lara is a great player and i like and respect him

  • dude you can think and believe what you want maybe you 'indians indians' change side alot and maybe the indians you know but seriously are you trying to say that in a match between west indies and someone else in the middle of it someone just says 'well yuh no what we losing go australia!'........come on man that just does not happen

  • well i dont want to force anything on you. this happened in POS queens park during a england-wi T20 match and it also happened in a test match between australia -wi. also i work here and i know what my staff is all about and how they change sides quickly.... especially when food is there... indians indian dont change side they will definitely throw bottles (happened only once) but dont boo their own team

  • nah i have been to several matches and the crowd supports west indies till the end its only when we need like 20 fro 1 over is when people start to be like oh my god

  • whatever makes u happy buddy... if you gonna deny lets it be that way....you are a real fan of cricket and just wont admit to what i said.... so no further comments... enjoy and to tell u something i like tnt just i need it to be a little bit more secure and people to be more efficient otherwise this country is great...like the food here and i also played cricket for club here.... so enjoying every bit of this country

  • ok you have your opinion i have minds XD.Thanks for tnt's compliment and yeah we all know we could be more secure and a better government so yeah.well glad we got that resolved : )

  • STOP comparing lara and sachin. they both are legends and represented different countries and faced different challenges. JUST ENJOY their batting.

  • Bring the bowler on both ends!

  • Ok..ur God..so do u pray everyday....don't call him God..truly he is one of the greatest Crickters ever known...

  • haaaaaaaa poor Robin, he wants to cry!!!

    Lara is d Best Ever!

  • Did he make 100?
