April marks the anniversary month of Brian Lara’s Sobers-surpassing Test score of 365, when he rattled up 375 against England in 1994 at Antigua Recreation Ground. This record had stood for 36 years. April, 2010, marks the announcement that the Prince of Port-of-Spain could be coming out of his all too premature retirement, returning to play in the T20 format of the game. The world and his fans await with bated breath. Brian Lara turns 41 on May 2nd. In 1994, the year he turned 25, he followed up his epic 277 in 1993 at Sydney, Australia—he even named his newborn daughter Sydney—with an amazing string of scintillating, stroke-filled and record-breaking performances, the likes of which had never been witnessed before, or since.
