Now the leading test runs scorer of all time with an amazing 11,187

He got the record by notching a cool 226 against the Aussies

Legend, absolute legend.

He's got so many records

400 not out
Second fastest 100 in one day cricket
Fastest 50 in the World Cup
Most runs in an over in test match cricket

Lara's 400* record is in danger of being broken by Sri Lanka's Jayawardene.

Someone get him out.

Out for 374.

They did manage to record the highest single wicket partnership in the history of test cricket.

I think the match you're referring to was one of the earlier round of matches as we (Guyana) played and beat Jamaica in the quater finals.

Semi finals are Guyana v Grenada Aug 10

Trinidad v Nevis Aug 11

This 20 20 competition has taken the islands by storm especially with the amount of money Texan billionaire Allen Stanford is stumping up.

$1,000,000 to the winning team.

$500,000 to the losing finalist.

$100,000 to the man of the match in the final.

$25,000 to man of the match per game.

This kind of money never heard of in cricket.
