Anyone watch the highlights of his career before today's play?!
What a guy, I mean, hes one of those guys I only heard about, but when you see him on video he was 20 times better than people thought. 400* world record in tests, 501 in First Class not out (Team were 810-4!)
What a bloke, the highlights (shame to say) Did bring some tears, just one of those people who have changed the cricket name, probaly the greatest batsmen ever shown on TV

Cricket is boring. If you really wanna earn the title of MINI CAV you'd better start learning some cool!
To learn cool you need to do as I say when I instruct you to.

They should make cricket more interesting by playing with fruit instead of balls, the fruit only being determined by a tombola on the day of play.

Or make them play without helmets and use grenades instead of balls! Then cricket would be explosive!

Lara's all the Test batting record could be broken. Younus Khan has Brian Lara's Test record score in sight after finishing day four of Pakistan's first Test against Sri Lanka on 306 not out. With the match destined for a draw, Younus is certain to start day five with Lara's 400 in sight on a batsman-friendly wicket in Karachi. Pakistan finished on 574-5 after safely passing the follow-on mark of 444. Go Younis!

There's more life on Mercury than in that wicket !
Lara's record was also set on a dead wicket and small ground.
My personal preference is for Sachin. Some of his batting ie at the WACA against a full strength Ozzie attack was scintillating. Shame about the injuries which have hampered him.

Agreed Ovechkin that Sachin knock was great, all the same it would be nice to see him break the record tmrz.

It's very sad to see this trend of declining test audiences across the globe barring England. Its the true test of a player. 20/20 is just knockabout comedy. With Alan Stanford as the joker.

I would pay to watch Younis, he is a class batsmen in all forms of the games and a true professional. I think the attendance is ok in Karachi, they've been starved of cricket.

Younis blew it. 313 and di not even make it past Hanifs 337. Off bail dislodged by a leg cutter from Fernando Cavenaghi. ;D Final score : bore draw. India lost to NZ in Its A Knockout hosted by Wes Hall. ;D
