Brian Lara

Trinidad & Tobago produced arguably the greatest batsman to have ever played for the West Indies and possibly one of the greatest batsmen in history, Brian Lara. Lara debuted for the island nation in first-class cricket back in the 1987-88 season and by 1990, he had made it to the West Indies side due to the obvious gifts that he possessed as a stroke-maker.

He holds the record for both, the highest score in first-class cricket (501*) and in Test cricket (400*). Lara carried the West Indian batting for the greater part of his career. In 131 Tests, he scored 11593 runs at an average of 52.88 and notched up 34 hundreds.

In the 299 one day internationals that he played, Lara made 10405 runs at an average of 40.48, with 19 centuries. It is quite certain that a batsman of his stature will never come along again.
