Product Description -
The trueuntouchables of sport possess a kind of mystery, and Lara – thrillseeker, record holder, genius – stands as perhapscricket’s deepest enigma, at once a beautifully free strokemaker whose creativity captured an era, and an often torturedpresence at the heart of a faltering West Indies side as the great teams of the past faded from view. He saved his best work for England. His two world-record Test innings both came against them, ten years apart. Hisotherworldly 501*, the highest score in cricket history, took place in Birmingham. Even his final game for the WestIndies came against England. He understood what was at stake, what he stood for. Lara saw himself as a torchbearer for generations of revolutionarycricketers from the Caribbean stretching back through the ages, their deeds reilluminated with flashes of his own. Itwas against this backdrop that Lara produced some of the most extraordinary batting ever seen on the cricket field. “I could always feel those moments in my bones,” he writes. “When our prowess on the cricket field was used to helpin the fight for independence from our colonial masters.”Thirty years since his first world record, and twenty since he reclaimed it with Test cricket’s only quadruple century,Lara is ready to tell his own story: the incomparable highs and harrowing lows of a life lived on the edge.
