      He actually says his 213 was his best century. Not aesthetically, but for the sort of pressure he was under. I remember everything: the 51 all out, being given a team with three players who only would play 5 test matches between them(two as openers and one as a number 3), coming at 10-2 on the Friday evening of the test.......and then the resurrection on that Saturday. It is the second most compelling day of cricket I have ever seen. The only other day that beats it was a week later in the craziness that was that final day in Barbados. And it gets more significant as the WI sink lower. That final day in Barbados was the last gasp of West Indian greatness in test cricket. The last of the golden generation(Lara, Walsh, Ambrose, Adams) fighting against impossible odds and coming out on top

    Test cricket is real cricket. If we keep Sir Don out of the context, then Sir Garfield sobers , Sunil Gavskar and LARA are the best batsmen in the Test. The innings these guys played against quality bowling attack and under pressure which Sachin never played. Sachin never played under pressure. Sachin never win matches in Test. His second inning run chase Avg is very very poor which shows he is not mentally tough and Gutsy player like Gavaskar, LARA, Steve Waugh and other Gr8s.
    No one (great cricketers) have said sachin is all time Gr8 except Few Indian cricketer of Sachin's friends and Team mates. They only praise but it doesn't mean that sachin is all time gr8. All Gr8s have put Lara above sachin becz the innings Lara played in Test cricket which sachin never played . Sachin can only dream about it. We INDIAN People are just spectator and do not have cricketing knowledge. We just see country cricket and dont follow world cricket. We do not know what happened in the past who played... how they played. Against which bowling attack. We hv zero knowledge of cricket.
    have anyone seen Sir Garfield sobers batting ( I mean on You tube) ? How he is batting? How he scored runs? His shots? He is natural like Lara. Do you people know he has scored 365 runs ? Hit 6 sixes in an over.
    have anyone seen Gavaskar 221 innings at oval 1979 chasing 437 in fourth innings? The match end up with draw with 2 wickets remaining. Sunil Gavaskar was 8th wicket and only few overs remaining to close the fifth day, Do you know he made 14 centaury against west indies killer fast bowling attack MARSHAL HOLDING ROBERS GARNER? Except Sunil Gavaskar No one stood in front of them in that era . Hope we spectator know these west indies bowlers..
    have anyone seen Lara's match winnings 153 against Australia (Mcgrath, Gillespi, Shane Warn) in 4th innings? from 91 for 5 wickets, he did 200 runs partnership wit last 5 players and win the match with one wicket remaining ( Hats off to Walsh for playing 4 balls of Gillespi and gave Lara a chance). One can only dream such a innings.
    There are many such innings these guys hv played in TEST. All I cannot put here. Go and search on you tube.
    Go and see them first then I am sure u people will think differently with cricketing mind and not by heart.
    Show me sachin's a single innings (like these guys played )where he played and win test match in 2nd innings run chase except one against Pakistan 139 which he got out playing a stupid shot when only 15 runs required and 4 wickets in hand. Now Don't say his back was paining. No excuse please.
    Scoring 100 or 1000 century is not imp but how you scored, in which situation u scored that is imp.
    Wisden cricket hv not considered his single century out of 100 in their top list. Sachin completely failed.
    Thanks god Lara played in the same era in which sachin played so we came to know the huge gap between the gr8 lara and sachin.
    Sachin is light year behind lara.
    LARA u r GENIUS.
    Many Many love to the Gr8 LARA from India.
    Only bowler can judge who is the gr8 batsmann.
    All the gr8s in LARA and sachin's era put LARA above sachin.

      @Wahdat Zeeshan True. Viv played in company of great batsmen same is true for Chappel ,Tendulker and Gavaskar. Lara played with Avg batsmen. Wasim played in company of great bowlers,same is true for Lilly, Ambrose and Mcgrath. Hadlee played with Avg bowlers. Lara and Hadlee outclass everyone else

    I remember this innings quite vividly - as a young kid obsessed with cricket, watching Lara on TV when he played in Sydney really inspired me. One of the few contemporary batsman that I think would have thrived in any era of cricket. A real thrill to watch.

    Yes you said the truth sir ,Lara is well ahead of Sachin Tendulkar ,the reason they kept saying that Tendulkar is best than Brian Lara it is because heis rich in money and from the richest cricket playing nation , praising Tendulkar you would be welcome and rewards but praising Brian Lara you would get nothing ,

    So is Ian Chappell taking credit for telling Lara to hit the ball into the gaps instead of the fielders? I mean is he saying he didn't know that before and therefore was hitting to the fielders earlier and therefore his advise turned him into the genius he was?
    I mean it is like some retired old senior tennis player saying "hey when Federer was young he came to me for advise, I told him to hit where the opponent can't return, and from the next game he became a success" or some retired senior footballer saying "hey when Ronaldo was young he came to me for advise, I told him to aim for the nets where the goalie can't reach, and from you know what from the next game he was making a lot of goals".

    1. Don 2. Viv 3. Tendulkar 4. Sobers 5. Hobbs ....Top 5 in my opinion...in that order! After that, it gets murky.
    Lara is a great stylist just like Kanhai, Azha, Gower....great to watch...not among best ever. Its not all about highest individual scores...Seawag has two triple too! Who cares....these guys could do it 'cause they score fast which is more risky....greats are the ones who Can play aggressively, but, respect the game, and not always do it....its about the team...and the situation!

    • @kunalsingh3121

      It's about the shot making and the pace he scored the runs at. That pitch was so slow and low you should not be able to play shots like that.
      To time the ball to get the boundaries everything has to be played so late but you run real risk of mistiming, chopping on. Lara never looked at risk.
      He scored his runs at a strike rate of over 70 when Waugh and Richardson scored their centuries at under 50 - they couldn't play the shots on that pitch that Lara could.
      Slow low pitches does make it hard to get you out, but it makes it hard to score runs as well.

    Chappell mentions Lara's 80-odd at the MCG during the WC. That was against Pakistan. During that match, on commentary, Chappell, praised Lara but categorically said that 'Tendulkar was better'. But I think this 277, really changed his opinion....and it remained so ever since.
