Lara is the GOAT not because of the sheer amount of runs he scored (and he scored a lot) but how he got them. He was so much fun to watch, so stylish. Used to dance around on the crease and somehow still used to nail the shots. Only batsman I loved watching bat even when he was destroying my team.

[@tjayenterprises5190]

The greatest of all time * besides Bradman..

[@tennkenobi]

Bradman is a freak, in the nicest sense of the word. Lara is 🏆. He has the massive runs like all the modern greats PLUS the flair and entertainment of Richards.

Brilliant!… I can listen to Lara all day that high back lift and flourish 🔥

[@benelliott6133]

Still remember that 277 he scored against us in 92/93 @ the SCG. It was seeing a legend in the making. I think he was run out in that innings? Scary to think what he might have gone on to score had he not been run out. That innings is just as memorable today. When Lara got his eye in, he had big, big innings. This was one guy you never wanted to give any chances to because he made you pay big time. As an Aussie, I was never disappointed when Lara batted well against us because as a cricket fan first and foremost, it was such a joy to watch. Legend!

Sachin is ambidextrous ,means writes and eats left handed ,but bats and bowls righthanded . He had power distributed equally.,so he was equally good off both front and back foot.

"He dances down the pitch and lofts it over extra cover.........." My O My, Brian Charles Lara has been the hero I've always had the highest respect. His batting is work of art. The way he stitched his career to emerge as one of the game's best batsman is just phenomenal. I always wanted to be a cricketer while watching him play. Take a bow legend. No matter what form of cricket emerges. Test cricket will remain the undisputed king of all formats.

[@interestingfunnyusefulvlog2258]

Brian Lara is aesthetically the best cricketer world cricket has ever produced. When he gets going he was the most pleasant sight of the game. No matter how many runs and 100s Tendulkar have scored but when it comes to the quality of test innings anyone has played it's undoubtedly BRIAN CHARLES LARA - THE PRINCE OF TRINIDAD 👑

Also him acknowledging how sober Gilly was behind the stumps earned my love & respect for both him & Gilly as the greats of the modern era ! 👌🏻👍👏
