Lara gets going
West Indies v Australia, second Test, 1999
After the Waugh brothers had shored up Australia's first innings to help the tourists post 256, West Indies slipped to 34 for 4, and had Pedro Collins retire hurt soon thereafter. Then Brian Lara switched to demon mode. In the company of Jimmy Adams, he made a sublime 213 that many hailed as among his greatest Test innings. His masterful onslaught carried his side to 431 and seemed to stun Australia into submission. Their limp second innings was only just enough to force West Indies to bat again. That was a formality; a target of 3 was knocked off in as many balls to seal a victory that had been set up by one of the all-time great innings.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
