Yes , I do ....the end result is a record that empowers our XI.
Knowing how the Ozzies blabbed and complained after that is truly satisfying !

Well if thats what you think fine. I don't see how it empowered our xi since I don't think we showed any improvement afterwards. It was a personal achievement for Lara and that's all. I am happy he got it back and that a West Indian has it but I don;t think he should have gone after the record at the time. Team comes first.

No matter what ketchim, team should come first for the captain.

The Game situation is Subjective.
I still do not think that we could have WON that match ..
and zacaroni , that is the basis of your Conclusion !
I beg to differ !
Re: 400*: When Lara Placed Himself Ahead Of His Team by Garfield Robinson - zacaroni - 04-20-2014
At what point did you think going for a win was pointless? We bowled them out for 285 I think in first innings and had them five down at the end. We don't know what would have happened if we hand another session and a half or two sessions. Look, you already said the record was more important. I happen to think trying to win should have been more important.

Consolation prize was the personal record

Correction : " possibility / probability of a Win "
