Didn't he break or dislocate his elbow last year & now one arm is shorter than the other?

I agree I never thought he'd get back, I alwyas thought he had more talent than anyone else including Tendulkar but I always felt that he was a bit slack & lazy.

I wasn't aware of that. So Lara's the new Len Hutton? :D


Yeah well as we all know Hutton would have eclipsed all Bradman's records if it wasn't for WW2 (& the injury he picked up).;)


But seriously he did suffer either a break/dislocation to his elbow either last year or perhaps even the year before & I read that it meant that it would be slightly shorter than the other one.

Well Hutton eclipsed one of them! And Lara eclipsed that.
 
Well there's a nice bit of symmetry there for you-which I know that you like.:D


I'm no expert on these things but I believe that Hutton was thought a great allround batsman before the war but afterwards came back as a great technician but perhaps slightly lacking the flair that he had before hand.


Going off on a bit of a tangent but Middlesex CC over here have now got the grandson's of Len Hutton & Denis Compton on their staff as well as Viv Richard's son.

All of them middle order batsmen I think.

I wonder if the bloke there in charge of recruiting or scouting is just a lazy bugger.
 
Boooooooooooo. :mad:

Give Hayden back his rightful spot!


Nah only joking, Lara had a super series against the best team in the world and he deserves it and like a few people said in this thread, I didn't think he'd ever get back up there either...he always seems to lift for Australia.
