***Official** West Indies in Pakistan

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The man’s a genius, sure he had a nice platform to play anyway he so pleases

Lara never has a nice platform to play any way he so pleases. Have you learned nothing from the nature of West Indies cricket in recent years?

Coming in at 160 odd on a good track to me is a decent platform but you could be right, regardless of the wicket, Lara could have come in and the West Indies could have rolled over they like usually do for 240 odd.

 

[TT Boy]

150 for Lara.

 

[alternative]

Lara hammering away.. simply a gun.

 

[oz_fan]

150 for Lara.

Just read on cricbuzz that it is his 19th score over 150 and that beats the previous record by Don Bradman.

It's always more likely that the West Indies will collapse from a good position than push on to a better position.

All hail Lara, the second best batsman in the world right now, imo.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Ponting best I take it?

 

[irfan]

or Yousuf ....

 

[Jono]

Brian Charles Lara, what a legend.

Cannot wait to watch this day's highlights tomorrow. Is going to be frickin' awesome!

 

[Dravid]

Nope

 

[oz_fan]

Bravo out after a great innings of 89. WI 502/5.

 

[Arrow]

Wow just checked out the scores. Lara is running amok. Still the best test batsmen in the world. Ponting close second.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Lara stranded on 196* at stumps. Ramdin on 4*. Windies 5/509.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Brilliant innings. Good on Ganga to get some runs at the top too. Bravo continues to shine when batting with Lara.

 

[nightprowler10]

What the hell? Lara scores 196* and the tape I recorded it on is ****ed up.

Yeah same, so annoyed it's not being shown live though. Can't believe he's headed for his ninth double, Bradman's record might not be out of reach after all.

 

[Josh]

Top notch batting by the sounds. I'll be viewing the highlights tomorrow, also. Just brilliant, Brian.

The match will probably be a draw tho.

I hope so. Also hoping for Yousuf to get a big one. If he does score a century in this match and the next, I believe he'll break Viv's record for most centuries in a calendar year.

No,I think Dravid is the best.
