Sportsmen define eras and give rise to inspiring personalities. They are to motivation what religion is to the spiritually inclined. And when it comes to cricket, there’s this wide pantheon of greats that has provided an abundance of pleasure to fans and admirers alike.
Few batsmen, truthfully speaking, have designed and redesigned cricketing record books quite like Brian Charles Lara. He is to world cricket what an Ayrton Senna is to F1 racing or Muhammad Ali is to boxing.
Lara’s success owes itself partly his wizardry with the bat and partly to his mental strength. Implicit in Lara’s construction of big individual scores- 375 and 400 not out in Test Cricket, 501 in First-Class cricket- is the role his mind played. Agile as an athlete and renowned for his unwavering focus, Lara was a resolute batsman who would back himself to do wonders with the bat.
And true to Lara’s greatness were some inspirations he sought within and from life around.
Let’s look at some of Brian Lara’s mighty quotes that hold the key to understand the ‘Prince of Trinidad’ and inarguably one of the world’s best batsmen.
Seems like one of those quotes that may have been delivered around the late 1990s or early 2000s. As West Indies went from one tournament to another being spanked like slaughtered lambs, Lara’s frustration grew but he didn’t stop contributing with the bat.
