King Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 It was Inzi, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and now it has got to Lara. This WC has brought tears in some legends. Link to comment

King Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Another legend in tears, this WC has seen it all Yoda, Lara has scored some runs in this WC. His 70+ against Australia was a fantastic knock. I think the pressure is really telling on him. It is not easy to captain a home team in WC and not get through to Semis. The former greats and the rest are all very unhappy with him. The WI crowd can be as ruthless as Indian ones (although less in numbers) and have torn into Lara already. It takes a lot of effort not to buckle down under pressure. Link to comment

Surely not but he is not usually the one that performs when chips are down. Still he is a great bat no doubts about that. He has not been terrible as for batting goes. He may not have scored heck a lot but lest he is not scoring in single digits often. Link to comment

If you played hard, fought till the end and lost a close one, yes cry all you want. Otherwise, WTF? Link to comment
