Jesus - a spinner against Lara = instant death for the spinner.

There is no need for Lara to retire if he can keep these performances going and hasn't lost his desire for the game. I have a feeling Lara wants to build the Windies into a competitive team before he exits, which would at least be, what 2 or 3 years? Or will he go if the Windies win the WC?

I really hope he doesn't bat long enough for that, unless he blasts another 77-ball ton.Xuhaib said:

The really disgusting thing is that he didn't really even bowl all that badly. He was still Pakistani's best bowler, and against normal sides he would have really respectable figures. Not that he was brilliant or anything, but it was just Lara being on top of his game.Fusion said:

I remember a while ago when people wrote off Lara, saying he was too old. The fools.

TBH, after a cricketer hits 32-33, any slump that he suffers could very well be due to the age factor, so I am not sure if it was unwarranted. Obviously though, he's answered in fine style.PhoenixFire said:

Some of Lara's innings since the start of 2005:
196 v South Africa
176 v South Africa
130 v Pakistan
153 v Pakistan
226 v Australia
120 v India
122 v Pakistan
196* v Pakistan
Not bad for a 36-then-37-year-old.

Great to see Lara back to his beautifully dominant self, although Kaneria picked up three wickets he got taken apart by Lara on a few occasions but that is to be expected when you are bowling to that man on top of his game. He almost broke his record for runs in an over aswell, taking 26 off Danish Kaneria at one stage. Really unfortunate to see Gayle, Ganga and Bravo all miss out on centuries and if Lara wants to get to 300 he'll have to do it quickly because if the pitch is becoming flatter they will need a fair bit of time to bowl Pakistan out.

Great stuff from Lara. Kaneria seems to be getting tonked around a lot more lately though. Lara was all class today, but you would/ve at least expect Pakistan to conatin him a little bit.
