Legend Lara ends Windies career
By Martin Gough
BBC Sport in the Caribbean



Lara played 131 Tests and 297 ODIs
West Indies captain Brian Lara has announced he will retire from all international cricket after Saturday's World Cup match against England.

Lara, who is 38 on 2 May, had already said he would quit one-dayers but was expected to play in the four-Test series in England, which begins in May.

"On Saturday I'll be bidding farewell to international cricket as a player," he told a news conference.

"I've already spoken to the board and my players."

Lara is Test cricket's leading scorer with 11,953 runs from 131 Tests and holds the record for the highest Test score, an unbeaten 400 against England in Antigua in 2004.

He captained his side in 47 Tests, winning 10, in three separate spells.

The game against England will be his 299th one-day international but marks the end of the World Cup for both sides, who have failed to qualify for the semi-finals.

Lara's captaincy has come in for criticism but he said: "I hold West Indies cricket dear to my heart. It's been a good run and I've enjoyed every single day."

Vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan is the most likely candidate to lead the side in the first Test against England, which begins at Lord's on 17 May.

But Lara hinted at disagreements with the West Indies Cricket Board when he said: "Whoever takes over the team, it is important he gets whole-hearted support from everyone."

If one wants to feel Lara watch vdo of 1999 Bridgetown test innings. He remained153 n.o that day...none of tendulkar centuries come close to that...

Bidhan40,
What the hell are you on about yaar? Are you a BHENDO? Act like a grown up kid rather than a weirdo! Don't be a freak! You're entitled to believe that Lara is better than Tendulkar as it can't be changed but then TIME and again you come in here and throw some shit about Tendulkar, arguably the best batsman of modern era! Muji kalle bhanyo Tendulkar lai sack garyo bhanera? Tero bau le tanlai call garera bhanya thiyo ho? Ki tan muji cricinfo.com ma gayera padhdakheri ulto padhchas? Jaile ni yo muji jasto para le ris uthauna nakhoj na. Aren't you the same moron who thought that Biratnagar should be the next capital of Nepal as you're a biratnagare?! Muji where are you? Uk it seems. Jaile ni Irish friends ra english friends sanga cricket herda kasto majja bhanera furti garne tain hainas? I don't have anything against you on a personal level tara you start getting on my nerves when you start falsifying what's being written on websites!
