Brian Lara : 375 runs !

                       

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."

      HAHAHAHA  ::LOL::

                                         

Shiv :

"I can't remember England trying to get under his skin,

but that's probably because nothing was going to put him off."

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.

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 ."
