Brian Lara Retires!

Brian Lara announced that he will no longer play any type of International Cricket after Saturday! Is this the end of Lara's career?

Wow, I am very surprised ..nevertheless not shocked. When players decide to retire, it is usually after a World Cup, too bad that he could not have done it with a victory for the West Indies.

From what I've gathered he is stressed out from all the pressure on him to win games and he says it was his parents who have been sustaining him all this time.

Well, I heard that the coach was actually thinking in making some changes (not favorable to Lara) so he made sure to retire before it actually happen.

I had not thought about that, but other than losing the captaincy I doubt he would have been completely removed from the team, at least many in the West Indies would not have allowed that.

I think that he is one of our best cricket players. I feel so sad by the way this country treated him. I believe the whole team depended to heavily on him, to make all the runs rather than, all the team members pulling their weight.

I admire the fact that he always have parties for mentally challenged children at his home. He seems like a very generous and kind hearted fellow!

Comments: Lara is overrated. Geenie, I don't know why you said he wasn't treated properly, he got a huge mansion as a gift no?

Yes they did award him a big house when he made us proud by making 375 runs. But it is truly amazing, how quickly we forget and condemn those when they have bad moments. Everyone, the public and his team players, expected him to make all the runs. The whole of Trinidad and Tobago expected him to be the star all the time. And he was heavily criticized when he was under pressure and did not perform his best. We always know how to worship people whenever they excel, but we quickly forget all of this, whenever our stars have their bad moments or reveal that they are only human. Very sad! But he is doing quite well for himself without our support.
