I am indian and I must admit that Sachin can never come close to Lara's genius. The way he single handedly won games for the windies against the might australian sides in the mid 90's was simply magical. Ponting also steps up scoring big runs on the big stage but its so sad that sachin flops i.e. world cup final 03, 11. If he doesnt flop he can't finish it off i.e. 175 vs australia. I wish ponting and lara were indian. Rahul Dravid is my fav indian batsman :)
I was at this game - the first international I had been to - I was 15 years old and got to see Lara, Hooper and Mark Waugh score centuries. Pretty good memories....
@bcl543 check out his 132@australia in perth. australia for some reasons only uded bevan warne steve waugh to bowl. his innings IN SA came when sa were in a transition phase from the donald and poillock era to steyn and morkel era.
look at hom many times he get hit on tjhe head by real paceman or get bowled out in a manner whick will make gillesspie cringe. akhta donald waqar zahid come to my mind.
@ashokatibrewal...for that moronic comment...if you were starving i would only then feed you cold pieces of monkey shit washed down with hot chunky curdled cups of ape semen
@eyesonthetube No some douchebag from Pakistan, a 13yr old kid, who goes around filing copyright claims on youtube channels, he actually got Lady Gaga and Justin Beibers channels shut down too!
this is a great combo.. Lara and Hooper, 2 contrasting styles, both really pleasing to the eye. even Mark Waugh, another treat-to-watch player made a 100 in this game.
all your videos will make for great viewing for many more years..
Lara is best batsman when his eye is in no one is better.

@bala51083 West Indies won by 6 or 7 wickets I think, Carl Hooper also scored an excellent 100 in this match

is it just me or is that first strike shown around 0:03-0:06 one of the best cover drives known to mankind?

I'm so pleased that you found room for Hooper's innings as well. That six from Bevan passed into folklore as soon as it happened.
I hope you're enjoying your new found status as the leading cricket authority on YouTube. :)
