  1. Sachin and Lara were Messi and Ronaldo of cricket..♥️

  2. Lara is by far one of the smoothest batsmen you will ever see. I like Jayasurya, but Brian is just fun to watch. He is talented, confident and smart player. This innings of his was a pure gem.

  3. Its Interesting to see Aussies Bowlers got smash by Great Batsman Like Brain Lara Sachin Tendulkar.

  4. Who is listening after 2023?

  5. No one player will take place of LARA 😍

  6. இந்த மேட்ச் லா பாத்துடடேன்….

  7. No celebration of a wicket from McGrath. That’s legendary mutual respect right there

  8. The way he jumped 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

  9. what a mamoth bowling lineup. warne and mcgill + lee and mcgrath. whoever gets a double against that is surely special

  10. The most stylish player to ever grace the field, every stroke is a symphony.

  11. My favourite ever batsman to watch

  12. Absolutely class batting. Legend of cricket

  13. Rightly said by Tony Grieg “all good things comes to an end “…….Brian Lara is really special, thanks for the memories

  14. In my time, I never saw a player as elegant as Lara… Had the privilege to see some greats in my time Lara included… Tendulkar was the only other to bring a crowd! modern cricket will never know/understand what it was like!

  15. Rishabh Pant is much more stylish than Lara. He is the best at the moment

  16. from protea i only watch lara when he toured i always hoped he would score few runs just to see that cover drives in action

  17. One of the best players ever to hold a cricket bat

  18. He was far better than Sachin as he was always there when needed

  19. The legendary Brian Lara ,all shots he has mastered,I haven't seen him struggling on leg stump rib cage area ,he jumps adjusts himself.For me he is the best.

  20. LARA IS HIGH TATENTED PLAYER

  21. I Have Never Ever Seen Such A Left Handed Batsman In The History Of Cricket 🏏 Especially In Test Matches In Crunch Situation. One Of The Greatest Match Winner 🏆 In Red Ball Cricket 🏏. His Bat Is Like A Elastic Sword With Powerful Wrist Work All Around The Cricket Ground . We Will Always Be Remains Thankful To This Genius In The Rest Of Our Life For All The Entertainment He Provided Us Against Quality Bowling Attack On Challenging Pitches. Hat's Off To You Champ 🏆..
    Love N Respect 🙏 You Always N Forever

  22. if i'm umpiring that's out

  23. i wish we could see his cover drives from the point / square leg camera angle. Such brilliance

  24. Now a days west indies worst team

  25. Aleem dar what a decision

  26. Back when I'd even watch test cricket live on the tele all day long

  27. However all good things have to come over some time…

  28. For a while I thought McGrath wasn't playing this game … until he showed up for the wicket-taking delivery, lol!

  29. Gone are those days , when we all witnessed the batting and bowling of this class. Matchless 🔥🔥

  30. When you see him play. Involuntarily you will be forced to say: Absolute class

  31. lucky one to see this master piece of Brian Charles Lara. Lee balling 144 and above even in test with consistency. WOW

  32. Picking up early on Shane Warne's googlies that's says everything what was Brian lara

  33. I wish I see a dominant West Indies era in my lifetime

  34. These knocks and shots are electrifying even to this date !!!!

  35. No one can match him,, in world cricket

  36. The panache in his shots though!

  37. Most players favour a type of shot, maybe a drive or a glance, by the end Lara had mastered all of them.

  38. Brian Lara the stylish left hander who can play cuts, pull, sweep, flick, glance, cover drives, charging down, straight drives, great foot work and the one who plays the big innings and enjoy playing on Aussie soil.
    My fav player Brian Charles Lara!!!
