HEADLINE: 'Attacking Lara was best eyes can behold' - Admits legendary umpire Bucknor

Legendary West Indian umpire has admitted watching iconic batsman Brian Lara was always somewhat of a guilty pleasure and that behind the stumps was the best place to be when the batsman was on the go.
The 74-year-old official stood in 128 Test matches and 181 One Day Internationals (ODI) in a career that spanned 20 years. While admitting an affinity for the destructive power of Viv Richards, the Jamaican-born umpire admits there was something otherworldly about Lara.
“Viv Richards, the Master Blaster, I rate him very highly on my list because he destroyed every type of bowling…then there is Brian Lara who I think is the best thing the eyes can behold when he is on the go. He was poetry in motion. He did things that others couldn’t do,” Bucknor told the Mason and Guest Radio program.

Lara was a force of nature when he was in that mental state of badmanship with the willow. Forget Viv, he had more dominance.

Firstly, lara wasn't out in tge first innings of tge Guyana test when darryl harper game him out, caught behind to srinath. Secondly, lara came into the series recovering from a broken hand which is why he barely made cover drives because there was no strength in his forearm

I think the implication is that Viv was more of a slugger, with brute force; on the contrary, Lara was an artist when it came to batting.

TenD could have been sweeping on one knee, when he was hit?

I am not against Viv- I think he is an artist too and both can dominate but in different ways....power vs placement

All the WASTEUNDIANs from umpires to players to fans are cheaters and braggers.
It proved again and again. The more the video evidenced in cave era the more WASTEUNDIES FAKE DOMINANCE will be exposed.
