the end of cricket's greatest ever

for one last time as the prince of the Caribbean strode out with that magic wand in his hand, my eyes went watery. Ever since i have watched cricket, this man has been an inspiration of an unique order. His exquisite style, the flamboyance, the arrogance and the controversies....its all been endlessly fascinating. Ive watched all his innings and they are still fresh in my mind. Its a bitter pill to swallow......the realization that I will never get to see the brian charles lara flourish on the field, that i will never sit so tensed as if i was batting out in the middle to watch him bat, that those late night mesmerizing Caribbean innings will not come anymore. Unexpectedly his decision to retire from test cricket has come as a surprise.....and i need not say that the WICB is solely responsible for it
they say sachi tendulkar is the greatest batsman of all times......i beg to differ!. To carry the burden of a losing team for a better part of his career and still to produce the goods at the consistent rate as him is praiseworthy.

hail the great brian charles lara......ur legacy will remain forever!
