Greatest World Cup Innings - BRIAN LARA 111 (94) in 1996 World Cup QF VS South Africa

[@abeerahmed9272]

The key things of Brian Lara is:He never changed his batting style until finishing his career…The most invincible cricketer have ever produced by WI.A very Big appreciation to him👍👍👍…Thanx…

[@Raghuveer2798]

Even the best of surgeons don't have the kind of precision with which Lara finds the gap. The most flamboyant batsman ever and a true cricket genius of the highest order. He single-handed sent the unstoppable South Africans home.

[@Kleinemann_germany]

thats true..west indies were struggling to qualifiy for Quarter Fnal but managed to reach Semi Final. Sadly they could not reach Finals as Courtney Walsch was bowled out when they needed 10 runs in last over (richardson not out)

[@amirbutt37]

@Sabyasachi Mukhopadhyay...This century of Lara helped Srilanka to win the World Cup 1996 very easily otherwise South Africa could beat Srilanka very easily in the final

[@AnkitSingh-xl6pt]

4:43 "The hallmark of a genius", is finding the gaps with precision and manipulating even the best of captains' field settings with regularities, such is the B.C. Lara's Excalibur flair of batsmanship on display! Five-4s of Symcox over all different placements and timing to perfection!

[@aravinraj9477]

@@aravinraj9477 Tell me something, why are you on a site dedicated especially, to B.C. Lara's Excalibur flair of batsmanship on display??? You know people who counteract them, they fit your profile!! B.C. Lara is the complete package of entertainment and the blockbuster of cricket! Find sites dedicated to your Sachin, because he is not worth a penny from me when it comes blockbuster of cricket and complete package of entertainment!! Tendulkar copy, Lara invent! Tendulkar can be studied in simple form, Lara can only be studied at calculus levels and the dynamics of physics (high backlift, deft late cut defying the logics of cricket), you have to be a physicist, mathematician, student of martial arts, sensi of the martial arts and a deep admirer to understand the majestic techniques of Lara's gifted batsmanship on display, anything less than that you won't passed the class but end up in a looney bin!! समझना samajhana??

[@aravinraj9477]

Trebor Yeldnif ... Hahaha your anger shows how lara is in competition with sachin. Sachin's sharjah 143 in 40 overs is equal to laras 400 in 4 days!!!. Anyways love lara too 😌

West indies had lost to Kenya in league match. It was considered as humiliation for WI, so lara was on fire, it brought bad luck to south Africa , though they won all five of the league matches they have to leave after this quarter final.

[@SalmanKhan-si7ed]

Yes I admit Lara is classy and stylish oozing with class.

He was just a thrilling batsman to watch his high backlift like an executioner's sword. He has to be one of the most exciting batsmen to play the game.

[@sumitthakurta4662]

BRIAN LARA played with the same approach for his entire career to dominate the bowler. Although he is not as consistent and compact like SACHIN TENDULKAR, but in his day he could have played historical innings. When he was in form, he had the capability of playing multiple shots on the same delivery.

In a poignant prelude to the match, the match-fixer Hansi Kronier, boasting the title of South Africa's captain, audaciously declared that only superhumans stood a chance against them. This hubristic assertion cast a shadow of shame upon the revered West Indies team, a historic powerhouse in the cricketing realm. Among them, Lara emerged as the embodiment of this legacy, channeling the grace and prowess of the great West Indian batsmen who once reigned supreme. The subsequent day witnessed Lara's response, a manifestation of his batting virtuosity that dismantled the South African side. As fate would have it, Kronier, the orchestrator of deception, saw his World Cup aspirations fizzle, forever denied the coveted trophy-a poignant reminder of the repercussions of arrogance and shortsightedness..!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
