Brain Lara is one of most prolific and stylish batsmen in the history of cricket. He was one of the toughest for both fast and spin bowlers. He was at times very lethal and brutal in his treatment to the likes of Glen McGrath and Shane Warne. His famous 400 against English in his home country is something cricket fans will always keep in the memory. His exploits are enough to elevate him to the stature of cricketing legend.
Recently, he told who is the best batsman and bowler he has faced in his lifetime. He terms his countrymen V. Richards as the best batsman while Sachin Tendulkar is the most complete batsman. When it comes to bowling, it is not hard to guess who he believes is the finest and best bowler to grace the cricket pitch. It is one and only Wasim Akram. According to Lara, he would be in trouble completing his 400 if Wasim Akram was bowling against him. Luckily it was against England that he achieved the milestone. He was speaking to TV panel in television show. It is matter of great pride for Wasim Akram and Pakistan for producing such a world class bowler.
