The Return Of The King


Brian Lara has reclaimed the top spot in the latest ICC ratings. A welcome comeback - although there has never really been any doubt who is the best batter in the World for sheer quality of strokeplay ever since he made his debut. I think Lara should now concentrate on individual performances and score a few more triple hundreds before he retires. There is no point in giving the West Indies team a chance for a victory; the bowlers are so pathetic and the supporting batsmen so pedestrian (with the exception of Chanderpaul to some degree) that the best idea would be to keep scoring 300s and hope that the team can pull out draws !!!

Here is a nice stroy about the conundrum that Brian Lara's genius poses.
