Brian Lara

Lara's 153 not out at Bridgetown in 1999 chased down 308 against McGrath, Gillespie and Warne, with the tail for company at the end. Wisden later ranked it among the greatest Test innings. He did it in a weakening West Indies side, which often meant batting with little support. His 213 in the previous Test at Kingston, under pressure as captain, completed one of the great series.
