This is a sad day for all West Indies cricket fans and Cricket fans in general.
Thanks for all the great memories - You played the game the way it was meant to be played. You entertained us with the flashing blade and played the game with honesty - walked without the umpire having to make a decision just like you are walking now before the dumb and ungrateful selectors, the board and digicel give you out.
You devasted bowlers and fielders all around the world.
You set batting records upon batting records.
You carried a WEAK West Indies team on your shoulders for decades.
You were always a man of style and you did things your way.
West Indies cricket will go on without you but it will never be the same without you - for the next few years at least.
In my opinion, no batsman in the history of the game can touch you.
Again, thanks for the great memories and hope to see more of you on the County circuit.
Brian Charles Lara is the Greatest !!
