Wow. That Brian Lara sure showed the Australians a thing or two yesterday. 202 not out. Now only 12 runs away from being the highest scorer in the history of test cricket. Historic stuff.

What a player.

Definitely, it was a pure masterclass from one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game and a delight to watch.

He must also be one of the most inconsistent batsmen in history. He seems to get 300 or nothing most of the time but that works out to still being pretty awesome.

He either wins matches or loses them for WI really. His batting back-up is generally poor (with the odd exceptions like Chanderpaul, Gayle), which really just shows his class more. A lot of his high scoring innings have been cut short because he's run out of partners!

Well, he has just become the highest runscorer ever now, passing Allan Border. And he's still going. Lucky the tail enders are hanging around for him a little bit.
