I happened to catch some highlights of the first test between Pakistan and West Indies and I am glad I watched it. Brian Lara is so good! His elegance, his range of shots, his power, his grace … everything … makes me think that forget Sachin, forget Dravid, Lara is the best batsman in the world today.

4 centuries in 5 innings. Unbelievable. He has just surpassed Bradman and has 30 centuries. What was suppposed to be almost unachievable when Gavaskar retired, is now under threat from two guys - the 34 test century-mark.

I hope to see Lara in full flow sometime in my life.
