The Prince of Port of Spain
Happy 50th birthday to Lara

When it comes to the best knocks in the annals of cricket history, no batsman has a collective that can be compared to Brian Charles Lara. The "Prince of Port of Spain'"has butchered bowlers across the world, from Australia to India to England, both on home soil and foreign territory in the Test and one-day formats.

Breaking records seemed easy for the diminutive batsman, all via dazzling displays of offensive innovation. As Lara turns 50, let's dissect his time at the crease and revisit some of his biggest spectacles – long, gruelling master-class sessions which few have come close to replicating.
