zasanya Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Always rooted for Sachin in any "Who-is-the-greatest-next-to-Bradman" kind of arguments but after watching Lara yesterday ....WOW LARA IS THE GREATEST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 The boy has a claim. His sheer appetite for staying at the crease and batting, and batting, and batting, and batting... And he is capable of playing slow or fast on an type of track. One of the greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't think that I have ever seen anyone treating spinners with such utter disdain. Kaneria was way out of his league, but even Murali has complimented him. Hopefully someone will post a clip of the recent mauling (28 runs)? It's too bad that we likely won't see too much of him after the 2007 WC (he's 37 right now)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I remember watching casually in 2004 part of his stellar 400 not out against England - just the buzz alone was incredible. This double century was from the footage I've seen, quite high quality from Brian. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This double century was from the footage I've seen, quite high quality from Brian. Well done. He was completely selfish in that match and threw away any chance the Windies had of beating us just for his own personal glory. He should have declared earlier. The Aussies put the team first. When Hayden got his 380 against Zimbabwe, he was told he had until a certain time to get it or the team would declare no matter what. He had to give it some tonk to get there, but he knew that Ponting would declare and leave him high and dry if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikl Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Same when he scored his 500 or 501, can't remember which. That was all personal glory too. On a different note, heard about the 2 Indian schoolboys that scored a 721 partnership off 40 overs? They broke Sachin Tendulkar's old record.

Sachin had set that record with Vinod Kambli who also played for India - and got a double ton against us... (surprise, surprise!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
