No one since Bradman built massive scores as often and as fast as Brian Lara in his pomp, and with such elegance. Even his
stance was thrilling - the bat raised high in the air, the weight poised on a bent front knee, the eyes low and level. Then the
guillotine would fall, sending the ball flashing to the boundary.

The tenth of 11 children, Lara played for Trinidad's junior football and table tennis sides, but it was cricket that really drew
him. In 1990, at 20, he became Trinidad and Tobago's youngest captain, and that year, he also made his Test debut, scoring
44 and 6 against Pakistan.
