Quote:"Keith came down the wicket and told me I had two balls to get the 500," Lara said. "That was panic. Three runs in two balls is never easy."
Lara cracked the next delivery through the covers for four and raised his arms aloft in triumph. His 501* had been made in seven hours and 54 minutes off 427 balls and contained 62 fours and ten sixes.
Magic !!!! 8).....wonder when we'll see that again !!!

I will say that when I used to play cricket for my country to get inspiration I used to sit and watch videos of Brian Lara for hours and hours. I just took a look at the video when he made the 400 runs and when I look a little closer it looks as if Brian was actually out from the second ball that Harmison bowled to him. I looked at the video closely and clearly you could see that Brian nicked the ball, but what can you say now it is already in the record books. Honestly though I would really say that he was really and great cricketer.
