Chasing 311 to win in a test match versus Australia at Barbados in 1999, Brian Lara single-handedly took West Indies to a win by scoring 153*. Regarded as one of the finest test match knocks ever, it might be this match winning ability of Lara that made Ponting say ” I’d lose more sleep as captain knowing Lara was coming in to bat next day than I would with Sachin.” Lara ended up as top scorer in the series, making 546 runs in 4 test matches.
