From the Vault: Lara makes history with 226 in Adelaide

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

[BangaruAmarnath]

Double century at the age of 36 in the golden era of Aussies in Australia. What a splendid innings, I must say.

[pavankumarparuchuri]

More than his records, I feel Brain Lara is the most Elegant Left handed Batsmen ever.

[suyashpanpalia]

Lara scored 200* when the whole team's total was 340. Shows the greatness. What a flamboyant and brilliant batsman.

[AnkitSingh-xlpt]

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.

Crowd response tells u how great and respectful he was in the world

[shihass]

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

[karandhiman]

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.

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.

[toosporty]

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

[abrarfarooqui]

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!!!

[philanthropic]

I haven't seen Michaelangelo sculpt, Da vinci paint or Beethoven playing a piano... But i have surely seen Lara bat... pure art..

[debayanchatterjeesarkar]

"if I am the umpire then it is out"...
Bro, that's y u were the commentator only🙄

[ilovegurusahib]

The standing ovation when he walked into bat tells us all about the class of the Great Brian Charles Lara.

[VVS]

My late grand uncle once said, “ when Lara is at his BEST., CRICKET does NOT get better” 💕

[titan]

When you see him play. Involuntarily you will be forced to say: Absolute class

[avinashkumar-geiu]

In his retirement speech he said... "Did I entertain".. What do u guys think....

[him]

I would never understand how someone having so high backlift can easily trash a bowler speeding 145 + kmph

[maharshipratap]

That was at another level of batting. He made bowlers like McGrath, Lee and Warme look ordinary. Absolute legend of the game

[yasiryousafzai]

he is my favorite batsman since childhood and a charasmatic batsman and indeed the prince of cricket respect from 🇵🇰

[faisalshawon]

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 .
