Though Hayden puts Tendulkar and Lara in the same bracket, he rated the West Indian as his favourite. More so, himself being a left hander just like Lara.

"Lara was a chameleon of the crease. If you switched plans, he would switch too, always staying one step ahead of you. Plenty of batsmen have a great technique, but very few have several great techniques -- Lara did. The key to his adaptability was his beautiful hands. Soft, quick and malleable, they would take him to places he wanted to be. They were the best hands ever, I reckon, and they made him my favourite player by a street.

"Lara just captivated me. Every time he took the crease it was like a batting tutorial. Being a left-hander, I was all over his every move and I absolutely loved most of what I saw. Lara shaped my thoughts and actions about playing spin bowling. If anyone has played spin better, I have not seen him. In fact, Lara did not so much play spin bowlers as play with them," Hayden wrote.

BRIAN LARA
Sport is a circle. We started dominating the cricket world before Australia took over the mantle. In the last couple of years, the Aussies seem to struggle. I believe the time of invincibility is over since the game has become more competitive as the teams keep on playing against each other round the year. This time Windies has good reason to come on top if our batting clicks. Even India’s chances are good.

Tendulkar never scared me but Lara, Gilchrist did: Shoaib

Colombo, March 19 (PTI): He has had some of the most memorable on-field battles with Sachin Tendulkar but maverick speedster Shoaib Akhtar claims he was never scared to bowl at the legendary batsman. Instead, it was dashing Australian 'keeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist and West Indian legend Brian Lara who "scared the hell" out of him during his 14-year international career.

"Yes, that's true. But that doesn't mean I have no respect for Sachin. He is a legend and will always remain as one. But Sachin would never scare me. Guys like Gilchrist and Lara would scare the hell out of me," Akhtar, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket after the World Cup told espnstar.com in an interview.
Shoaib who played 46 Tests and 163 ODIs for Pakistan was in awe of Lara and Gilchrist. "Gilchrist would simply take me on. Lara was class apart. In fact, I would be so attracted to his persona that I wouldn't know where to bowl. His body-language was just too cool!"
