- In the twilight of his career, West Indian legend Brian Lara gave Australian audiences one last performance to remember, a majestic double century in Adelaide in 2005
Double century at the age of 36 in the golden era of Aussies in Australia. What a splendid innings, I must say.
@@incognitokumar900 0:21
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?
@@incognitokumar900 No 36 ... Lara was born about August 1969 ... this was December 2005.
Sachin 241
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.
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

There will never be another Lara

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✅
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.
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.
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
Lara shuffling and that high backlift was absolutely soothing to the eyes, was a class player. respect
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".
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
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
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 !!!
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.
he is my favorite batsman since childhood and a charasmatic batsman and indeed the prince of cricket respect from 🇵🇰
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!
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
"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
😁
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.....
lucky one to see this master piece of Brian Charles Lara. Lee balling 144 and above even in test with consistency. WOW
Brian lara was legend i didn't see him as a playing but he makes 400 was outstanding now playing against no1 team thats so greatfull to play like this
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
Scored double hundred at the age of 36, against a solid team of Australia and in Australia......... Legend 😍😍
@@incognitokumar900 See @25th second
In Australia
It was always fun for him to smash
Aussies
Throughout his career
Adelaide oval was know for being a very good oval for batsman once in. All the greats get a double ton or 2 at Adelaide oval.
Under pressure*
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
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.
The best batsman i have ever bowled too
-Glenn Mcgrath
Absolute legend great Brain Lara🔥🔥
spoken from a true Gentleman...
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..
His name is Aleemdar
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
rip
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 .
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
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).

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.
@@guharup Hilarious and extremely ironic, given that you're the one who has no clue as to how English works lmao. Well done, you idiot
@@guharupyou improve your English..its expression English..

He is the GOAT! what a shot to get to that double hundred. Brian Lara is blessed with both power and elegance!
When i wake up in the morning you guys come up with Sachin's SCG epic and now the classic from Lara.2 treats in a single day🙌
God of cricket and Lara..
Once in a Generation!!!
Woow...wt a Golden days...
Love from INDIA!!
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!
When you see him play. Involuntarily you will be forced to say: Absolute class
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.
Brian Lara made any shot in the book 10x more stylish with his flamboyant and elegant batting.
36yrs old Lara playing like a 25yrs youngster. What a legend !!
Team total - 343
Lara total - 200
That describes it all.
7 wkts down
That Caribbean swing of the bat and absolutely sweetly timed shots only one can dream of. Lara wow! Glad I witnessed his career and playing days from start to finish coz it’s a delight! ✌️
What a classy cricketer, always looked calm but was aggressive with the bat. Legend!
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!!!
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 !
Lara and Ambrose was so great to watch, they got me intrested in cricket..
2:43 shot of the innings quite frankly. Such a beautiful shot 😍!!
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.
Did you just mention jaysuria and Lara in the same sentence?
Even Lara's mistimed shots looks so beautiful.... He really was a Wizard!
Hands down the best batsmen of all time! Love from Sri Lanka 🇪🇭❤️ 🇱🇰
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
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.
Just loving it brings back memories of those days
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?
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
Am tired of counting lara's double tons. Every week there's new youtube recommendation!!!!!! ( And guess what, most of them against Aussies)
Wait isn't he the guy with two daddy triple hundreds
we dont mind getting outplayed by one of the best.Probably good for us...

To you I say cheers!! Absolutely well said!!
Repeatedly I have been seeing this clipping but still Iam feeling as it iam seeing first time, that's mesmerizing of Lara., what a wonderful batsmen to watch.
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
Brian Lara is poetry in motion - a beautiful, elegant batsman. I could watch him all day😎
Sometimes I feel blessed that I passed my childhood watching these evergreen champions. Legacy always remains intact!

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.
The sound of applause reverberating around those big, green Australian grounds... bliss!
I watched it live and it is the best innings I have ever seen. He had almost no support at the other end and demonstrated the lost art of protecting the other batsman from the strike with incredible skill and patience.
The best player of spin bowling I've ever seen
I watched him destroy Murali in Sri Lanka
