Double century at the age of 36 in the golden era of Aussies in Australia. What a splendid innings, I must say.

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?

More than his records, I feel Brain Lara is the most Elegant Left handed Batsmen ever.
No doubt ..
Saeed anwar most elegant player lara was more stylish but timing anwar the best
Ya
most Elegant most Stylish...............Ever
Brian Lara & Saeed Anwar are most elegant Batsmen of all time✅
Sir Hobbs, Sachin, Sir Bradman, Gavaskar had all the shots from the textbook. Lara wrote his own textbook. Part scientist, part artist, complete GENIUS. That's Brian Charles Lara.
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 tells u how great and respectful he was in the world
Crowd response even before he got to the wicket. This type of genious comes along once in 50 years.
Legend. He scored 277 in his first Australian seriess. He again scored 200+ in his last australian series.that's why he is called the best ever
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
When the crowd of the opposition country gives you a standing ovation means that you are well respected. And Lara was respected everywhere he went.
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.
His ability to come out and bat in the highest pressured situations is out of this world. Team at 19/2, walking out to face the likes of McGrath, Warne and Lee in the Aussie's backyard is an extremely difficult task to just survive. But to put on 200 (not to mention at the age of 36) just shows that Lara was in a league if his own
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
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!!!
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!
I haven't seen Michaelangelo sculpt, Da vinci paint or Beethoven playing a piano... But i have surely seen Lara bat... pure art..
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
Lara scored 200* when the whole team's total was 340. Shows the greatness. What a flamboyant and brilliant batsman.
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.
Only Sachin and Lara are two among modern Batsman who got Standing Ovation even before facing 1st ball of inning. 🤩🙌🙌
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).
NOW IT'S 👑 KOHLI 😌😌😌...
@@malayaranjanpati94 here you go.. an ignorant cricket “fan”…
3:29 what a shot from legend❤❤
In his retirement speech he said... "Did I entertain".. What do u guys think....
Absolutely
He was big entertainer
Look at Aussie crowd
They aren't that cheerful for opposition but for lara many standing ovations
Definitely
Rajab Ali mainly because few people actually scored a lot against their teams 😂
Entertainment+entertainment+entertainment= Brain Lara
Infinite times..always Lara kya mara.....
226 against top quality bowling attack, McGrath with his laser precision line and lenght, Lee with his dazzling speed and Warne with his magic deliveries. But Prince Lara outsmarted them all.
What a class player. ❤
Not to forget they had another class bowler in Stuart Mac Gill
My late grand uncle once said, “ when Lara is at his BEST., CRICKET does NOT get better” 💕
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.

That was at another level of batting. He made bowlers like McGrath, Lee and Warme look ordinary. Absolute legend of the game
And those are quality bowlers
@@samuelmorrison7765 maybe the best of cricket history best
And then there was the little matter of Stuart Mac Gill
I agree on that. He truly is The PRINCE !!!
You know you're bad-ass when the Australian crowd gives you a standing ovation.
You know you're not any special when English crowd gives you a standing ovation
@@olivery.6249 what??
When you see him play. Involuntarily you will be forced to say: Absolute class
There is king.There is God.There is hitman.There is wall.
There is boss. There is machine.
But no one can deny there is only one
Beloved prince of cricket .
"if I am the umpire then it is out"...
Bro,that's y u were the commentator only🙄
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
😁
0:43 OMG! What a decision!!! I think this was probably THE BEST decision of Aleem Dar! Not only that it looked out from a naked eye, but also that how critical correct umpiring decisions are, especially when there was no review system! Hands down, THE best umpire the game has witnessed.
That did not look out at all!! It was clearly missing the stumps. The Aussie commentator made appeared very bias there in my opinion. 🤷🏿♂️
Well, after Simon Taufell
Go and see his two descision's of broad in 2013 ashes edge caught at slip and de Villiers vs Ind caught at slip. You might change your mind.
@@everybodylovesraymond8839 - clearly, like 1.5cm, but yeah, clearly!
That's Aleem dar for you
The sound of applause reverberating around those big, green Australian grounds... bliss!
A batsman batting the whole day, then going back to his room to sleep, then coming back the next day and continuing for the whole (or most) of next day with the bowlers toiling and still not able to get him out... this is one of the really beautiful things about test cricket, to be found in no other sport.
The standing ovation when he walked into bat tells us all about the class of the Great Brian Charles Lara.
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
I would never understand how someone having so high backlift can easily trash a bowler speeding 145 + kmph
Super-Human Reflexes
super hand eye coordination
That high backlift came down very fast.
It's all about reflexes
Gets into position very early. Super footwork
lucky one to see this master piece of Brian Charles Lara. Lee balling 144 and above even in test with consistency. WOW
he is my favorite batsman since childhood and a charasmatic batsman and indeed the prince of cricket respect from 🇵🇰
He really was one of the greatest batsmen ever, let alone his era.
@Rishi J Sachin?
@Rishi J i respect your opinion but i do not agree with it even a bit.
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?
My woooooooord....THAT ARTISTRY..THAT SUDDEN BACKLIFT..THAT BAT SWING..THAT SHOULDER MOVEMENT...THAT COVER DRIVE.. THAT ON-DRIVE.....MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME....STILL GIVES ME CHILLS..,..ONCE A WIZARD .... ALWAYS A GENUIS...
Sure man sure . Absolutely.
I love that
He is the GOAT! what a shot to get to that double hundred. Brian Lara is blessed with both power and elegance!
Standing ovation from the other countries fans before batting. The man is Brian Lara ❤❤
Umpiring excellence at 0:49..if Lara was given out by Alem Dhar, we would have missed this beautiful innings.. Hail 1000times Alem Dhar for his best umpiring skills..
Team total - 343
Lara total - 200
That describes it all.
7 wkts down
How can you not love Brian Lara? One of the most elegant batsmen to ever play the game.
Poetry in motion.
His double century in Sydney as a young man captured the world's attention. WoW !! who is this guy ??? From then on lovers of cricket could not get enough of him. He loved that Adelaide wicket. Thats a quality bowling lineup he's thrashed around the ground with McGrath Warne Lee Macgill. Legend.

Under pressure*
I was fortunate of very few Indians to see 400 of lara live!! On TV I mean
No-one, absolutely no one would ever replace this guy!
Of all the batsman that I have seen like Tendulkar, Ponting, Dravid, VVS, Hayden, Kallis, Kohli, Inzi, Sanga and many more Brian Lara is number 1
True fact ❤️🙌🏻🇱🇰

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.
Artist at his work no one can even think coming close to him
Even Lara's mistimed shots looks so beautiful.... He really was a Wizard!
36yrs old Lara playing like a 25yrs youngster. What a legend !!

Just and just class, Brian Charles lara. One of the best batsman ever of cricket history.
He was destructive and composed at the same time.
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!
The best batsman i have ever bowled too
-Glenn Mcgrath
Absolute legend great Brain Lara🔥🔥
spoken from a true Gentleman...
I love how warne complements him ad he was leaving the field. Shane really appreciated that innings.
One man army but was never filled with ego that's the spirit never played for centuries n record just the nation first... Glorious Person...
Brian Lara made any shot in the book 10x more stylish with his flamboyant and elegant batting.
I remember watching it live. Brett Lee was bowling a barrage of bouncers when Lara was approaching his double hundred and he literally murdered the two of them to get to his double! Such a legend !! Take a bow !
He has so much time. It's extraordinary. Even against Lee, he's is position so early, you can see the pause of the bat as he waits for the ball to come.
2:43 shot of the innings quite frankly. Such a beautiful shot 😍!!
As in indian, I support Indian cricket team but Brian Lara is always been my favourite player more than Sachin, Virat or anybody else. I always loved his unique style of batting, always pleasure to watch and loved watching his ability to quickly score. He scored 501 not out in first class and 400 not out in test both are world records which still hasn't been broken yet. Simply, the best batsman ever played in the world.
It is absolutely splendid to see Warnie always walking upto the batsman and congratulating him for a good knock. What a champion he was!
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

BRIAN LARA IS SIMPLY.THE GREASTEST BATSMAN IN THE WORLD EVER... TRINI TO THE BONE🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏♥️
Absolutely a treat to watch this inning of Brian Lara. Legend.
Such beautiful strokes. Never before and never after. Legend, i cried when he retired. He should have created a clone of him before retiring. I miss him a lot. His flair, no one ever can reach. I have not seen bradman play. He is the greatest batsmen i have seen
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

For Lara no games plz
Its Aleemdaar
Perfect material for Curb Your Meme
If you pay a close attention at 6:04, Shane Warne approaches Lara, shakes his hand and pads him on the head. A gesture not seen from ANY other Australian. A great batsman was seen off by a great bowler. Rest in the highest ground of the heavens Shane🇦🇫❤️🇨🇦
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
2:15 what a commentator 🥶🙌 The prediction went 100% right.❤
Despite his high backlift the amount of time he has to play 90+ mph deliveries (@2:42 and @2:50 and @3:28) is amazing. If you freeze the pane around @2:43, you will see that the 90+ mph ball is virtually upon Lara, while he is still waiting with his super-high backlift, and yet he middles the ball perfectly . His bat must be coming down at lightning speed.
@Uday. Your observations are worthy of scientific reward! Congrats on that!!!
Hands down the best batsmen of all time! Love from Sri Lanka 🇪🇭❤️ 🇱🇰
That cut, off Lee, with the new ball!!!! Played him like a spinner. Outrageous
Most stylish and elegant batsman cricket has ever witnessed.see his great innings almost all of them towards the best bowling opponents on his time.
Shane Warne is a great character 🙏🙏he always appreciate his opposition..that is a great example of sportsmanship.. because this is not a war..love u Warne..you are greatest spinner
The best player of spin bowling I've ever seen
I watched him destroy Murali in Sri Lanka
What a classy cricketer, always looked calm but was aggressive with the bat. Legend!
My dad still says, Lara is most stylish player he has ever seen on a cricket field. And I don't doubt him.
David Gower was the most stylish, pure ballet.
*Lara was an artist his batting is like a poetry* 💖
*One of the greatest batsman of all time 🙌.. if not the greatest (which is always a subjective) but he's the most complete player this beautiful game could ever get* ✌

I've paid close attention to each and every ball Lara has played, no risky shots, decisive batting, style, elegance.
I have enough evidence to prove that Lara is the greatest player in the history of the game.
That kind of footwork and the range of strokeplay he got. That's Deadly combination! No wonder he was able to play those big knocks. LARA The Master!
He was literally let down by his teammates who often performed poor & put extra pressure on him.
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
Best of the best. Remember waking up early in the morning for a Non India involving match only to watch him and Ponting bat. Golden days of my life and many more like me from that era. Crazy genius.
Gone are those days , when we all witnessed the batting and bowling of this class. Matchless 🔥🔥
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.

Warne is the first one to come out and congratulate Lara after he got out. Game recognises game. RIP Warnie, the king.👑
What an excellent decision by Aleem Dar! That looked plumb to the naked eye and the Australians were all over him. One of the best umpires in cricket.
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 ?

Brian Lara is poetry in motion - a beautiful, elegant batsman. I could watch him all day😎
Most impressive is the shot placement, threading the needle to beat the fielder on such tight margins out on the boundary like his pull shot in front of square that just eeks past the fielder, insane precision.
