		Lara said he was grateful for the applause and handshakes from his Australian rivals.

	Review on Brian Lara by vishaldr - MouthShut.com
		Lara’s story though is full of twists and turns and squandering of talent with intermittemt streaks of shear genius.
		Lara made a more robust start, a west indian in every aspect, he had(still has) a terribly high back lift and played flashy shots, relying on eye sight and bat speed.he clearly took the lead, and became ’the next big thing ’ of the game.
		On the other hand lara, in a triangular against pakistan and south africa, scored 4 of them!it was perhaps the best display of playing fast bowling in last 15 years,cracking wasim, wakar and donald, all at there fiery best.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Brian Lara
		The 10th of 11 children, Brian Lara learnt his game at the Harvard Coaching Clinic, where he was enrolled at the age of six, and although at school he played for Trinidad's junior football and table tennis side, it was cricket which really drew him.
		Lara's leadership in the five-match one-day home series against India came in for much praise as the tourists were knocked over 4-1, but in the succeeding Test series he struggled.
		In Pakistan he led by example with the bat but results continued to go against his side and as West Indies struggled both on and off the field, it became increasingly obvious that Lara was unable to inspire them to greater things, and he appeared increasingly at odds with many of his team-mates.

	The Hindu : Sport / Cricket : Brian Lara in India
		Easily one of the modern greats, Lara may have passed his vintage years, but millions of Indian fans would at last get a chance to see the left-hander walking to the crease, take guard and show that he's remarkably competent with the bat to flail fast bowlers and spinners alike.
		Lara played his last match (his 96th) in India on March 4, in the 1996 World Cup at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
		Lara's hard work and never-give-up attitude helped him make an unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, a 400 not out for the West Indies against England in 2004, after he had broken Gary Sobers' record of 365 with a 375 against England in 1994.
