    OK this is insane batting. Three of the many moments of genius - 85 + mph, fullish deliveries, and he goes on the back foot to them and plays them straight down the ground! To anybody who has played decent standard cricket, that just about defies all physical laws of the universe. It is a cliche, but Brian Lara was a one-off.

      Not really...I played FC cricket, and the key to anything at that pace is balance. If your head stays into the ball, you can hit any pace bowler of the back foot when full. Sobers, Richards, Fredricks, King were some exponents from the Windies who managed it.
      Lara, of course, was a world class performer but, technically, it is doable.

Sometimes the ball would be too full and I'd york myself, or it would swing or move after pitching and then the shot would be screwed.

Much like Michael Jordan in the finals or Ayrton Senna in a deciding race. The man was just spectacular to watch and one of the brightest lights of all sports retired just a year after this innings.

If you switched plans, he would switch too, always staying one step ahead of you. Plenty of batsmen have a great technique, but very few have several great techniques - Lara did."

    I have watched Brian Lara bat throughout his career, he was a treat to watch... A fair comparison ,in my opinion, is other "compact batsmen" batting style or stroke making is akin to the plain text font (crisp and beautiful) and that of Lara is cursive fonts (very alluring). The extra just adds to the aesthetic appeal rather than diminishing it. Thats one of the reasons cricket connoisseurs love watching Lara bat and never seize to get enough of it...

      @@firstal3799 You need to pay more close attention to your statement and take the word "never" out or else, you will be lying! Never say never...have you ever seen Viv Richards get hit before (yet he was considered arrogant in his batting style, fearless)??? Before you answer, check your facts-finding! Don't worry about B.C. Lara getting hit because he also hit 500, 400, 375, 277, 213, 153, 688 (aggregate against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka) 28 runs per over! He is the man of fire that fights fire 🔥 with fire 🔥 blazing fire 🔥! Two observations you should look at before you leap into speaking without facts: 1. If you play with fire 🔥 you will get burn! 2). There is at no time in the most ELITE black-belt martial arts specialists that one have not been hit (boxing match is a bruising sport, if you hit you get hit also)! If you play sword fight you will eventually get cut and bruise! Cricket is a contact sport with bat and ball, players and players, bat to body, ball to body, ball being hit back at partner end hitting one's partner, even umpires and even spectators! When you carry the Excalibur flair of batsmanship on display you will get hit but the mark B.C. Lara's Excalibur flair of batsmanship on display at the echelon of batsmanship on display left on the game is more than what was dished out to him in hits! And that's the facts the world-record twice and match-winning innings!

      @@TheTredoc Hey man why you keep repeating the same things over and over again. I am a pretty knowledgeable cricket fan and I appreciate Brian Charles Lara. But I am not a fanatic Lara admirer like you. Btw if Lara scored such high scores in many innings and series, does it not mean that he was inconsistent? Also wasn’t the 375 criticized because it robbed WI a fair go at wining the match?
      I remember this very well even though I was a kid back then. We even had a small chapter in my English text book on Lar’s 375. We always appreciate great players of any country…
      Viv was hit around the face area a few times. There is an incident where the ball hit his cap and it fell off, though it didn’t hurt him. But in my books Viv has been the best hooker/puller in the game ever. Lara was also a superb puller and hooker but he also got himself tangled up with short pitched stuff multiple times. He was sometimes uncomfortable against very fast rising deliveries, directed right towards his head. So both went hand in hand. Tendulkar was also a super puller/hooker. In my books there his no difference in ability of both but both were topped by Viv in this area. And Tendulkar was a great puller and took on short balls customarily till 90’s. Then he started playing the shot less and less as the years went by. But even when he was a regular player of the shot, I didn’t see him once get hit or get into an awkward position with short pitched stuff. He just had a naturally gifted eye and out of the world body balance, that allowed him to do that.
