      Sachin's shots seemed very novel coz combined with the technique, he scored the runs at a quicker pace. Else, like Gavaskar before him, Sachin was pretty much "by the books".

    • @kwl189
      @kwl189 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Ryan Webb Could be said it was the same for ST in the first half of his career. Carried the weight and expectations of over a billion people for as long as he did and often the team crumbled without him scoring. Captaincy is probably the key difference between the two. ST didn’t have the personality for that, I think. Though aside from the amazing champions trophy comeback win against England, the WI didn’t win a whole lot under Lara.

      Although Lara broke Allan Border's 12 year old test runs aggregate record during this innings, and any Lara century represents the highest echelon of brilliant batsmanship, his 182 off only 235 balls 5 years earlier on the same ground was a superior innings, for that particular series was still alive, even thought the windies went on to be whitewashed, whereas this 226 was in a dead rubber.

    His ability to come out and bat in the highest pressured situations is out of this world. Team at 19/2, walking out to face the likes of McGrath, Warne and Lee in the Aussie's backyard is an extremely difficult task to just survive. But to put on 200 (not to mention at the age of 36) just shows that Lara was in a league if his own

I always loved his unique style of batting, always pleasure to watch and loved watching his ability to quickly score. He scored 501 not out in first class and 400 not out in test both are world records which still hasn't been broken yet. Simply, the best batsman ever played in the world.

If you freeze the pane around @2:43, you will see that the 90+ mph ball is virtually upon Lara, while he is still waiting with his super-high backlift, and yet he middles the ball perfectly .
