Twenty years ago this week, West Indies batsman Brian Lara broke Sir Garfield Sobers
36-year-old world record for the highest score in a Test innings./... 8)

The legendary left-hander surpassed his compatriot's 365 not out as he scored 375
against England at Antigua's Recreation Ground in a historic match played from
16-21 April 1994.

West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul:
"He was probably the most focused I have seen him. He mentioned the record while he was
in the dressing room and he was getting a lot of phone calls about it,
but he always remained focused."

Shiv :
"I can't remember England trying to get under his skin,
but that's probably because nothing was going to put him off."
Re: Brian Lara : 375 runs ! - ketchim - 04-16-2014
Lara was 320 not out at the start of the third day, still 46 runs away from breaking
Sir Garfield Sobers's world record of 365 :
for West Indies against Pakistan in Jamaica in 1958.
Re: Brian Lara : 375 runs ! - ketchim - 04-16-2014
Chanderpaul (who was still batting at other end):
"It was the most exciting thing I have ever witnessed.
The moment was so big for everyone who was around.
Once he scored the boundary to break the record, it was difficult to get near him to celebrate
with him but he came to me
and then we went off to meet Sir Garry ."
