Cricket Legends - Brian Lara

Robert 'Crash' Craddock catches up with Trinidadian Batting Genius Brian Lara

[@RodinThink28]

Legendary. I rate him above Tendulkar cause he had greater aesthetic batting skills, higher scores and played beyond any coaching manual.

[@king_has_no_clothskul8635]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. FIRST THERE IS BRADMAN AND THEN THERE IS TENDULKAR. YOU DRUNK?

[@shibomghosh7893]

​@@king_has_no_clothskul8635i am indian but i rate sachin above vivian richards nd lara above sachin

[@shibomghosh7893]

​​@@king_has_no_clothskul8635lara nd abd r the only two gems whom nobody could repeat any given time i think so...

[@king_has_no_clothskul8635]

@@shibomghosh7893 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BRADMAN AND THEN TENDULKAR ALL HAVE TO COME LATER. ANYTHING ELSE IS BLASPHEMY AND YOU ARE A DELIBERATE HATER. ------------ LARA HIMSELF HAS ACKNOWLEDGED. VIV AND ALSO GAVASKAR AND STEVEN WAUGH. AND BRADMAN HIMSELF. --------------- AGGRESSIVE TENDULKAR > LARA ANYDAY. AGGRESSIVE TENDULKAR AS GOOD AS VIV ---------- DEFENSIVE TENDULKAR AS GOOD AS GAVASKAR: SYDNEY TEST ------------------ YOU SEEM TO NOT HAVE SEEN MUCH CRICKET UNLIKE 44 YEARS OF ME!!

[@chasey2327]

and he did it all with a very unconventional grip - right hand fully wrapped around

[@hariharansankaran9012]

277, 213, 153, 100(66), 182, 226, 153(sharjah), 111(wc). Thank you Prince and KZbin. Memories for a lifetime.

[@east-2-west]

At his best, there was no other sight in world cricket than to watch him bat.

[@sammyfrederick7639]

The best batsman I have ever seen,I have him slightly ahead of Sachin because of the way he played spin,his footwork was insane and he could easily change a match single handedly with lots of pressure on his team

[@asimabbas9423]

What a player! BEST of his era.

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

LOVE this interview with the GREAT BRIAN LARA.

[@engelbertcampbellda2264]

The greatest batsman the world have ever seen

[@avishmaharaj5941]

The most stylish and flamboyant batter I've ever seen what a legend and a great entertainer.

[@bedantagoswami649]

I always wonder if we ever gonna see batsmen like Lara and Tendulkar again i have grown up watching these two genius at work

[@mohamadfazalulla2007]

Don't worry Brian your dad is looking at you and be very proud for what you've done so far, such a treat to watch you style of batting and technique, there never be a brian lara again....

[@AnkitSingh-xl6pt]

His autobiography would be definitely titled I ENTERTAINED !!!!!

[@kirkwilliams5740]

Thanks much for sharing this video with us, with The Legend Mr Brian Charles Lara, I wish I could listening to you an your interview all day. All the good to you and your children. One Love my Brother, when you come to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in the Future please let me meet you face to face. I adopted from you the way you looked down on the pitch before A bowler bowl is delivery ,I practice such in my driving 🚗 every time i approaches on intersection of a road ,I uses the same principle, I will never weary watching videos while you were batting. You're a great man., Nuff respect My Brother.

[@ArchismanMozumder]

The 28-odd minutes just flew by! Thank youfor sharing this. There is a beautiful blend of pride & self-confidence, coupled with candour & humility, in the way he speaks. That extra word of praise for McGrath (at the 26.05 mark), beyond the standard courteous response, reveals a very gracious man. I was born in the same month & year as him but have a school-boy like admiration for this man's batting abilities.

[@taking57460]

For me, the best. Joy to watch and no target was safe.

[@mariorubie8224]

The best to ever do it be honest to yourselves #GOAT

[@Trinavara]

Yep..

[@Sarabheswaran7010]

Robert crash craddock interviews brian lara for show Cricket Legends : this was an amazing interview, not a second was wasted away from sir Lara.

[@sushantabiswal1644]

Cricket legend MrBRIAN LARA.Outstanding performer.Nice gentleman,got love admiration from all parts of world..Big big achivement.His drives are very spl

[@haydnkwan]

I gush when i think about him batting, he was a perfect mix of flare and discipline. Great to watch but valued his wicket more than anything else. Picked the gaps and rarely hit the ball in the air (unless the field was up). The right approach with natural ability to match. The greatest of all time!

[@hassamali8887]

As a 90's kid .. I saw the golden era of cricket players like lara.ponting. mark Waugh . Gilchrist. Jayasuriya. Wasim. Waqar. Murali.kallis. warne. Sachin. Dravid. Fleming and I can go on and on.

[@PavanKumar-yn8lm]

I love cricket because of only Brian Lara

[@pensivevalues1949]

Greatest batsman ever

[@tysondog843]

Well, except the batsman who averaged 47 runs per innings more, Sir Don Bradman...

[@sherann9144]

Indeed 277 is a very special knock from the prince❤

[@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58]

It's his absolute best. Against a young Warne with Allan Border a hard arse smart captain to conquer. Brian Lara goes out a achieves first test century away at the SCG finishing runout 277 without a chance offered with the best display of keeping the ball on the deck as the ball disappeared through the gap

[@binodbujarbaruah]

I enjoyed the batting style and tactics of Lara. No doubt he was icon and legendary of cricket.

[@VVS167]

When LARA was at his BEST, 🏏 did NOT GET BETTER 🌹

[@broandrew2523]

That 213 was his best innings. Majestic stuff. The 153* was great, but given the situation of the series, the latter would rank second. The best player of spin bowling.

[@syedwaqarahmed5963]

Sir Matthew I am really proud to say that you are my favourite cricketer.

[@errolpeters5315]

THE GREATEST.

[@Khairajatt100]

Bro played murali and ruled him .take a bow you’re a real king of cricket

[@krishnachaitanya4492]

Best batsman. 🐐

[@jamesfahey4508]

Haha. Time to like the video, and I advanced the thumbs up from 380 to 381. Matty Hayden's record surpassed again!

[@arunkamble6691]

BRIAN LARA All time Gr8. Sachin is light year behind.

[@dineththaruka3893]

Well, I saw a local interview of Sanath Jayasuriya with Rex Clementine which was so interesting, wanted to see a similar one of Lara. I searched for and found this. Exactly same interviews of two of the greatests.

[@richardgangaram4566]

He is just the greatest

[@amitgehlot3434]

Thanks for hayden sir you are also legend and to much great

[@tysondog843]

As an Aussie, I hated the fact Brian smashed our attack over, and over again. But, I never hated the Man. It was always a double edge sword, I Wanted Brian to get out early, as that was good for Australia's chances of winning. But, I wanted to see Brian bat as well... You don't have to be a Cricket Tragic to see just how Amazing Brian was. Even casual watchers were impressed by how Brian played. And the Pressure he was under, at a time when a Titan of a team had a down turn, this is when Brian played, with the pressure of making the WI's Great again, on his shoulders alone. Just a True World Champion of Cricket, and Sport in general, on and off the field. Nothing but respect.

[@PavanKumar-yn8lm]

He is not prince. He is king.

[@shridhargangadhar5886]

Viv Richards will remain a King. Remember the Bowlers (Lilli/Thomson/Imran/kapil) he faced compared to lara

[@ashesmitch]

​@@shridhargangadhar5886Lara faced McGrath, Waqar, Wasim, Warne, Murali, and Kumble who were every bit as good as those bowlers you mentioned.

[@kapilkhari1980]

my all-time great

[@briansukhu4392]

He wasn't the Prince of Port of Spain. He was the colossus of Rhodes

[@ianghose1]

Interesting, you mention the colossus of Rhodes. I was in Rhodes a few weeks ago...and yes for the most part of his career Lara was singularly responsible for keeping WI cricket alive..

[@gts8919]

The interviewer wanted Lara to call McGrath the toughest bowler he ever faced. But Lara wasn't having it 😂

[@omarsamuda5511]

Best players of spins bowling.and best late cutter

[@mohammadnhoque8658]

Skillwise, I think SRT and BL harder to differentiate. But BL definitely ahead of SRT in terms of mental strength and mental toughness.

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

Nice to see Matt Hayden doing this!

[@ActuallySamD]

Best ever. Certainly best since Viv.

[@ImGladtobeAnAussie]

I agreed lara is ahead of sachin Tendulkar cause not just the scores or anything but brian consistency performed in a team with a team that didn't have much else batting talent and sachin was great but he had a lot of batting talent to back him up if he got out cheap where as brian was always pressured to perform

[@Alex-lt9mc]

The man just match batting look so easy .wooooow

[@clydesooknanan5665]

Don’t kn if their will ever b another Brian Charles Lara he is our Prince Charles 🇹🇹

[@timbaktuthankgod2737]

Caribbean should thank being their stars in being a British Commonwealth. All their easy access, visas, exposure etc came from that. It's much harder in a huge population country in Asia.

[@notnice5100]

Don’t speak on what you don’t know? What easy access? We also need visa for most countries. The British took more from us than anyone else…our cricket would be a lot better today if guys like Jordan and archer didn’t play for England over their home countries.

[@Trinavara]

​@notnice5100 most of the Caribbean (WI) only need visa for USA and have very strong passports. Jamaica Haiti and Guyana may be a bit behind but they'll catch up eventually.

[@richardgangaram4566]

Your population is small but…. Your record is great bc

[@richardgangaram4566]

Hey man you are greater than mr Crawford.. I can remember mr Crawford achievement. It was a beautiful moment In the Caribbean Still is..
