Twenty years ago this week, West Indies batsman Brian Lara broke Sir Garfield Sobers's 36-year-old world record

for the highest score in a Test innings. 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.

Here is a clip from his innings.

Rewind to 1994  8)

20 years ago!  Wow.  I was still in high school and had seen the first Test of that series at Bourda on satellite TV when the Shivster made his debut.

The first time I heard about the record was when I visited one of my Trini friends and his grandfather asked me if I know Lara broke Sobers record that day.  I was like "What record?".  The old man said "Lara broke the 365 record today boi!!!" ::LOL::

and he did not thank the supporting cast

I had wrapped up the spread sheet  on building of Terminal 3 and a Trini project manager tell me :

Lara about to break sobers record .......Lets go and watch at Calypso Hut  !

Shiv was at the odda end with 75 *  :-[
