Brian Lara 216: Last double hundred of his career against Pakistan in Multan Test 2006

it's up in the air but falling short of shade Nazir there's a big shout of c'mon as if our players are wanted chide Nazir to make a better effort and of course you can see what he's thinking about that even though this click this came up slowly it bounced above Lara's head didn't really have any control over that just didn't try to hit it too hard or it could have carried to the man at fine leg really swatted at it wasn't in control one bounce to find leg that's counter-attack well he's an accomplished player of spin boiling as Brian Lara never afraid to use his feet and there is a man inform with hit the stakes of Canaria a shorter created of a pretty decent delivery from of the result well I think he senses that Razak is not in the best of form and I think he's going to try to go at him as early as possible to further destroy his confidence coming forward to this and just halted that forward movement he was right in position over it and didn't bother to move once it left the bat what are you watching at the moment is that craft crafter brand Lara this was short enough for him to seat again played it right under his eyes just guided it try and Lara back on strike up the result round the wicket there goes another drive to the covers another lovely shot from gran Lara the third boundary that is hit of Abdul Razak well he's coming off 100 Brian Lara and your margin for error is very narrow when you're bowling to him when he's in this kind of form and this was perfectly safe just open the face and beat them on a point good shot by Brian our hitting against a spin and another one of those where the back would cut the line think wasn't called yeah but it went for for good use of the feet by Lara Grady to warm it off for a boundary inside out again it's not an easy shot to the hitting inside out again some spin may not get to the boundary but it will before I think because the umpire would want to know was the body in contact with the boundary markings at the same time that the field up stopped the ball marie-claire there that he was so it should be signaled for shied Nazir I think was the feeler in that occasion it's one time the slide doesn't work because the bottom half of the body is always ahead of the ball in the attempt to pull it back with the hands my dear Omar goon with his particular slide of pulling it back to the feet in more depth in that situation near the boundary I was gone a long way there is a long one in place as I pointed out in the last over he would have had to be in the top tier at the Sun to even get close to this he'll have to do that because he has to fetch that ball because the ball was it with tremendous power with a good view of feet and Lara then he is in full flow nobody can stop him lera continues to take it to Razak that's his 50 just 48 boys it's an ominous form these hello dude it looks like a man possessed Brian out of 52 from 48 balls eight four two sixes what a pleasure is provided this morning and that's for more let's play back shot quite often Brown Lara people coming into him he's opening the face and guiding it belt a third man stay inside the line of that ball and work it away beautifully once again the intention was to pierce that gap and he got it perfectly in the right spot that was Hamid he's not letting anything loose get away Brian Lara 14 off the over to 5646 4 to that's been hit high and hard and it's done for the maximum well he's gone after the best option that Pakistan had to dislodge West Indies and this certainly will dead Pakistan big time this onslaught from Lara Canaria clearly heard by Lara's aggression that really was a half preggers and put away with style there's another one this one's gone further than the one before his royal it fitting Canaria to the sword grand Lara how big was that that's got to be termed as a 12 really another masterful it Lara at his best that's six was forth for Brian Lara and is not finished yet another glorious like unbelievable hitting from Brian Lara 56 from 28 goals against Canaria Canaria has been swatted out there third six in a row great use of the feet brilliant batting absolutely great to watch 22 runs scored already in this over and we've got one more ball to come this is garnish this is absolute demolition down the track catch it was the call and that's another four with 26 in the over West Indies 281 for two here we go again he's going to get 2 for this and this is going to be his hundred that's 100 for bran Lara of 77 balls I think this but have the seventh quickest Test match 100 ever the history of the game and also his 34th Test match hundred hey kanji beautiful cut shot this is where is glorious watch high back lift in position early and in motion quickly is it five sixes and that was his 13th pounded it was in perfect position for that it's a no-ball it's a boundary shai busy just losing his grip on other things in the first time that is mobile in the spell more frustration for Pakistan and the gap perfectly it'd be shot from Brian Lara is made sense today that's for Rosa along Hoffa genuine long hop from of the Rosa born at the speed of one 27.4 and absolutely no problems for Brian Larry but he has no problem coming down the track straight through it off for more again at the pitch doesn't matter which way is going I'm boiler or not that's fourth dropped it dropped it he is having problems against these off spinners here and that's a chance gone down vital difficult chance but it went into the hands is it Farhat was bored but that one turned a bit as an excellent trade by far hat just couldn't hook this couldn't hold on very good try flew to him very sharply odd one is going to spin so he has to pay forward burner Ray's looking to counter the spin and we'll get it on the price got to get a good straight in got hold of that got all of it whenever is is giving some air he'll use his feet that is a great shot that's a mere flick and it's sailing over the boundary rope Shoaib Malik couldn't believe it smile lit up his face more in agony than anything else may as well enjoy it boys look he has the ability to play against the spin and his still running hard extremely hard gets there in time it's 152 Brian Lara the Lara show continues their 150 or 145 balls magnificent battery Jewish was her performance but dimension Cusco austin-healey results Jimenez your gospel new guardian in power in the history of the game to get a hundred before lunch his 34th Test match 100 the ninth fastest ever 100 and also given art on destroying leg spin with Danish canary are getting hit for 60 runs of just 29 ball by Brian Lara in that session so West Indies in a good position Shoaib Malik is the bowler Brian Lara is on strike and they'll be looking to retrieve that as well Nelly took out the camera learn as he was a walking pass to LeMond good user the feet lead to the pitch of the ball and played it over Madan for another six reciting the ball like a football and that's just cut away for mortal error the pattern of domination continues beautifully put away place that cut shot really well Brian Lara and position early all then really spin away and he's got it - again this may not go all the way launches for Razak slide but in vain for more is trying with the boiling it was quicker one from her fees and adjusted once again beautifully Brian Lara cut shot played off the front foot and Abdul Razak was never going to stop it that'll go as well streaky but for us Brian Lara and he'll tell you that he played it there intentionally strike rate once again up in the hundred region so a little bit of ethics a bit of bounce and automatically played that cut shot Abdullah fees is a good fielder tried hard I was very close to hand so mom let go golly Mariposa was on the ground and of the over West Indies 474 for for ah olara safely home this is a late square-cut start the traditional late cut and it's fed to the boundary so at the end of the day's play Brian Lara was unbeaten on a brilliant 196 and West Indies had got themselves into a commanding position of 509 to 5 a lead of 152 runs let's catch action now brian lara is facing up to Shaheed Nazir and the score is a 510 5 he's off the mark today the more this ball will be hit in the outfields the more weight it will probably get because there was due last night and they'll be due certainly out there this morning now great delivery absolutely brilliantly ball by a Morgul almost got rid of gran Lara it was almost a similar delivery that took Brian Lara out of the equation in the first innings in Lahore after he got a half-century it reversed swung and swung and was the perfect length run he's a drooler on to the front foot nut back foot front foot he's lot more in control of that particular one well brand Lara is pacing up and down the creases mate sir waiting for him to get one so that they can applaud his efforts no no is the call this is a good contest Homer girl as old quite beautifully this morning he hasn't allowed Laura the width that he wants getting the ball to reverse as well and he's itching to get to his 200 look at that strike with eighty two point nine two really has been one entertaining show from him yeah gets there yes is the call you'll pick one go back for the second and they come back for the third as well so it's not going to miss out on those extra runs the helmet is off the arms are raised Brian Lara ninth test double hundred the chart maybe a bit of the power was taken off by the fielder was an extra cover to firmly hit going to travel all the way well in control a very good balance on the back foot played it through the covers and damn it to perfection it's an ear it's gone too long on Keeler's under 10 he takes the catch Shoaib Malik allows winnings to an end brilliant endings of 216 even though the focus should be on Lara but I think vanish Canaria is finally being rewarded shred Malik we are together himself carefully and they took a nice neat catch the wallet granted
