Thread: Brian Lara 182 v Australia at Adelaide Oval 2000

This is another example of why Brian Lara was simply the best batsman of his time. It is not the amount or the number of times that you made runs, but, how you got them. When he batted even in tests he gave the bowlers a chance because he went for his shots like he did with Murali. In this innings Gillespie and McGill 2 great bowlers (it quite unfortunate for McGill that Warne was there ) look quite bemused.
