I think my team needs a spot of batting.
BRIAN LARA
Nobody in modern cricket has made scores as big as Brian Lara, as often as Brian Lara. His three biggest innings - not necessarily his best - were the 375 against England in 1994 to take the Test world record, the 501* against Durham the same year to take the first-class record, and then the 400* against England in 2004 to reclaim the Test record. However, some argue that his maiden century (277 against Australia in 1993) was better than all of them. Lara might well have agreed, because he named his daughter Sydney after it; one hopes her middle names are "Cricket" and "Ground". I could keep listing performances, for there are six Test double hundreds and that 153* that I've not yet mentioned, but I think my reasons for picking Lara here are clear.
