Brian Lara destroying Spin Bowlers

Brian Lara has always been a great player of spin. Shane Warne once famously said "You bowl 6 balls to Lara, He will hit it in 6 different places. Here's a instance where Danish Kaneria tries to Sledge Lara and gets destroyed instead.. Danish Kaneria walks to Brian Lara,sarcastically says to Lara 'well played Brian’ & Lara replied 'okay sir'. What followed that event was a rain of boundaries and a lesson to Kaneria that you should never sledge a legend..

I already posted this video in another thread, but Lara love is always good. I approve. Best test batsman I have ever seen. Steve Smith can be the next Bradman all he wants. Will never make batting be as sexy as The Prince. :wub:

Not entirely sure getting a guy out on 216 runs after he sees the score past 550 (gives his team a 200+ run lead) and makes 216 himself before skying one is "the last laugh".

Kaneria's great achievement was that test he won for Pak in India. Friggin Indian line up forgetting how to bat on the last day when a draw was there for the taking once again..

Haha to be fair to Kaneria he was getting smashed to all parts even before that sledge. Probably didn't help though.

Yeah, ferocious power, amazing timing, nimble footwork and just about every shot in the book and an eye that was the sharpest in the game till he retired. Its like someone put together every single spinner's nightmare and created The Prince.

Warner not really known for big sixes though right?

When I think big sixes it's guys like Dhoni, Gayle, Afridi, Yuvraj

These days it's harder to judge because everyone seems to send the odd one 120m back, but Guptill's my personal favourite
