Lara Sets Sights on Bradman

There's at least one batting record still on Brian Lara's mind: Don Bradman's world record 12 Test double centuries.

Just days after passing Allan Border's mark of 11,174 runs to become Test cricket's all-time leadring run-scorer, Lara indicated that Bradman's record is something to aim for.

"I would love to get past Bradman. He's got 12 double centuries, I have eight," Lara said in an interview with BBC Sport's Test Match Special.

Lara currently owns several elite batting records, including the highest individual score in both Test and first-class matches and the world record for all-time runs scored.

By aiming for Bradman's record of doubles, it is a clear indication from the 36-year-old that he plans to stick around West Indies cricket for a few more years.

Lara described beating Border's mark as a "testament to my longevity in the game."

"I played my first Test match in Lahore in 1990 and it has been a tremendous 121 Test matches. I have enjoyed every single innings. I know it has happened at a time when West Indies cricket has been on a decline but it is such an honour to play for West Indies and be a part of history and I've enjoyed it," he added.
