Lara burned out hard after his year playing England County cricket. It was only in 1999, when the Aussies came down to the Caribbean, that he became a man with a mission. Ironically, when he sucking at Test cricket he was having his best ODI games.
"Adam Gilchrist told of a passage of play on their visit to the Caribbean in 2003: they removed the deep midwicket and placed him behind point, making it two fielders in that general area. After decrying the futility of the move Lara launched the next delivery over midwicket for six. Gilchrist then challenged him to take on the two men behind point; Lara immediately bisected them…twice, and it’s not like the deliveries were particularly accommodating to the kind of shots played either."
Who right now in the West Indies has such a range of shots? Maybe only Chanders, though Chanders isn't really a big six hitter.
