Brian Lara

The enormously talented enigmatic Brian Lara produced some moments of magic with his enthralling stroke play all through the 90s. The 'Prince of Trinidad' with a high backlift and exaggerated late shuffle brought in that Calypso flavor into his batting. His uncorking of the wrists and piercing the gaps at will made him a class apart.

Equally adept against pace and spin, Lara could produce some magical knocks for the Windies. Lara had the ability to play the ball late and struck good deliveries for boundaries. Lara looked vintage with those extra cover drives and his trademark late cuts. With Windies showing signs of decline, Lara was one of the saviors of the Maroon Brigade along with Carl Hooper, Jimmy Adams, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
