He topped the Test batting rankings on several occasions and holds several cricketing records, including the record for the highest individual score in first - class cricket, with 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994, which is the only quintuple hundred in first - class cricket history. Lara also holds the record for the highest individual score in a Test innings after scoring 400 not out against England at Antigua in 2004. He is the only batsman to have ever scored a century, a double century, a triple century, a quadruple century and a quintuple century in first class games over the course of a senior career.

Lara 's match - winning performance of 153 not out against Australia in Bridgetown, Barbados in 1999 has been rated by Wisden as the second best batting performance in the history of Test cricket, next only to the 270 runs scored by Sir Donald Bradman in The Ashes Test match of 1937. Muttiah Muralitharan, rated as the greatest Test match bowler ever by Wisden Cricketers ' Almanack, and the highest wicket - taker in both Test cricket and in One Day Internationals ( ODIs ), has hailed Lara as his toughest opponent among all batsmen in the world. Lara was awarded the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World awards in 1994 and 1995 and is also one of only three cricketers to receive the prestigious BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year, the other two being Sir Garfield Sobers and Shane Warne.

His father Bunty and one of his older sisters Agnes Cyrus enrolled him in the local Harvard Coaching Clinic at the age of six for weekly coaching sessions on Sundays. As a result, Lara had a very early education in correct batting technique. Lara 's first school was St. Joseph 's Roman Catholic primary. He then went to San Juan Secondary School, which is located on Moreau Road, Lower Santa Cruz. A year later, at fourteen years old, he moved on to Fatima College where he started his development as a promising young player under cricket coach Mr. Harry Ramdass. Aged 14, he amassed 745 runs in the schoolboys ' league, with an average of 126.16 per innings, which earned him selection for the Trinidad national under - 16 team. When he was 15 years old, he played in his first West Indian under - 19 youth tournament and that same year, Lara represented West Indies in Under - 19 cricket. Early first - class career 1987 was a breakthrough year for Lara, when in the West Indies Youth Championships he scored 498 runs breaking the record of 480 by Carl Hooper set the previous year. He captained the tournament - winning Trinidad and Tobago, who profited from a match - winning 116 from Lara. In January 1988, Lara made his first - class debut for Trinidad and Tobago in the Red Stripe Cup against Leeward Islands. In his second first - class match he made 92 against a Barbados attack containing Joel Garner and Malcolm Marshall, two greats of West Indies teams. Later in the same year, he captained the West Indies team in Australia for the Bicentennial Youth World Cup where the West Indies reached the semi-finals. Later that year, his innings of 182 as captain of the West Indies Under - 23s against the touring Indian team further elevated his reputation. His first selection for the full West Indies team followed in due course, but unfortunately coincided with the death of his father and Lara withdrew from the team. In 1989, he captained a West Indies B Team in Zimbabwe and scored 145. In 1990, at the age of 20, Lara became Trinidad and Tobago 's youngest - ever captain, leading them that season to victory in the one - day Geddes Grant Shield. It was also in 1990 that he made his belated Test debut for West Indies against Pakistan, scoring 44 and 5. He had made his ODI debut a month earlier against Pakistan, scoring 11. International career See also : List of batsmen who have scored over 10000 One Day International cricket runs In January 1993, Lara scored 277 versus Australia in Sydney. This, his maiden Test century in his fifth Test, was the turning point of the series as West Indies won the final two Tests to win the series 2 -- 1. Lara went on to name his daughter Sydney after scoring 277 at SCG. Lara 's results in international matches Matches Won Lost Drawn Tied No result Test 131 32 63 36 0 -- ODI 299 139 144 -- 3 13 Lara holds several world records for high scoring. He has the highest individual score in both first - class cricket ( 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994 ) and Test cricket ( 400 not out for the West Indies against England in 2004 ).

Earlier in that season Lara scored six centuries in seven innings while playing for Warwickshire. Brian Lara batting for the West Indies against India at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, in 2002. He is the only man to have reclaimed the Test record score, having scored 375 against England in 1994, a record that stood until Matthew Hayden 's 380 against Zimbabwe in 2003. His 400 not out also made him the second player ( after Donald Bradman ) to score two Test triple - centuries, and the second ( after Bill Ponsford ) to score two first - class quadruple - centuries. He has scored nine double centuries in Test cricket, third after Bradman 's twelve and Kumar Sangakkara 's eleven. As a captain, he scored five double centuries, which is the highest by any one who is in charge. In 1995 Lara in the Test match away series against England, scored 3 hundreds in Three consecutive Matches which earned him the Man of the Series award. The Test Series was eventually drawn 2 -- 2. He also held the record for the highest total number of runs in a Test career, after overtaking Allan Border in an innings of 226 played at Adelaide Oval, Australia in November 2005. This would be later broken by Sachin Tendulkar of India on 17 October 2008 whilst playing against Australia at Mohali in the 2nd Test of the Border - Gavaskar Trophy 2008. Lara captained the West Indies from 1998 to 1999, when West Indies suffered their first whitewash at the hands of South Africa. Following this they played Australia in a four - Test series which was drawn 2 -- 2, with Lara scoring 546 runs including three centuries and one double hundred. In the second Test at Kingston he scored 213 while in the third Test he scored 153 * in the second innings as West Indies chased down 311 with one wicket left. He won the Man of the Match award for both matches and was also named Man of the Series. The Wisden 100 rates Lara 's 153 not out against Australia in Bridgetown in 1998 -- 99 as the second best innings ever after Sir Donald Bradman 's 270 against England in Melbourne in 1936 -- 37. In 2001 Lara was named the Man of the Carlton Series in Australia with an average of 46.50, the highest average by a West Indian in that series, scoring two half centuries and one century, 116 against Australia. That same year Lara amassed 688 runs in the three match away Test series against Sri Lanka making three centuries, and one fifty -- including the double century and a century in the first and second innings of the 3rd Test Match at the Sinhalese Sports Ground, equating to 42 % of the team 's runs in that series. These extraordinary performances led Muttiah Muralitharan to state that Lara was the most dangerous batsman he had ever bowled to. Lara was reappointed as captain against the touring Australians in 2003, and struck 110 in his first Test match back in charge, showing a return to stellar performance. Later that season, under his captaincy, West Indies won the two match Test series against Sri Lanka 1 -- 0 with Lara making a double century in the First Test. In September 2004, West Indies won the ICC Champions Trophy in England under his captaincy. In March 2005, Lara declined selection for the West Indies team because of a dispute over his personal Cable & Wireless sponsorship deal, which clashed with the Cricket Board 's main sponsor, Digicel. Six other players were involved in this dispute, including stars Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Dwayne Bravo. Lara said he declined selection in a stand of solidarity, when these players were dropped because of their sponsorship deals. The issue was resolved after the first Test of the series against the touring South African team. Lara returned to the team for the second Test ( and scored a huge first innings score of 196 ), but in the process lost his captaincy indefinitely to the newly appointed Shivnarine Chanderpaul. In the next Test, against the same opponents, he scored a 176 in the first innings. After a one - day series against South Africa, he scored his first Test century against the visiting Pakistanis in the first Test at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados which the West Indies eventually won.

In May 2006, Lara led the West Indies to successful One - Day series victories against Zimbabwe and India.

He was run out after a bad mixup with Marlon Samuels for 18, as England went on to win the match by one wicket. He announced before the 2007 Cricket World Cup that this would be his last appearance in One Day Internationals. After his last match, in the post-game presentation interview, he asked the fans, `` Did I entertain ? '', to which he received a resounding cheer from the crowd, after which he went out and took his ' lap of honour ' where he met and shook hands with many of the fans. Lara stated this would be his last appearance in international cricket, he has also indicated his interest in retaining some involvement in the sport.

Controversies On the fourth day of the first Test match at Antigua Recreation Ground, St John 's, Antigua during India 's tour of West Indies, 2006, Mahendra Singh Dhoni 's flick off Dave Mohammed to the midwicket region was caught by Daren Ganga. As the batsman started to walk back, captain Rahul Dravid declared the innings. The confusion started as the umpires were not certain if the fielder had stepped on the ropes and Dhoni stayed for the umpire 's verdict. While the replays were inconclusive, Lara, the captain of the West Indies side, felt that Dhoni should walk off, based on the fielder 's assertion of the catch. The impasse continued for more than 15 minutes. Ultimately, Dhoni walked off and Dravid 's declaration was effected, although the game was delayed. Lara was called by the match referee for an explanation of his actions but was not fined. In March 2015, Lara criticised the ICC for fining Pakistani cricket player Wahab Riaz after his ' shocking spell ', as it was dubbed, when he managed to puzzle Australian player Shane Watson by giving him sarcastic claps, throwing the ball at him and sending him flying kisses. Watson was unable to cope with that and Riaz 's high - quality bowling in the 2015 ICC World Cup. The team lost but Riaz was fined 50 % of his match fee for his behaviour.
