The 156 against Pakistan in the ongoing VB series prompts this post.

I feel that there is this inexpressible quality about Lara's batting:

the adventurism, the showmanship, the orthodox defence, the carefree drive, the cut for the turn, the slash for pace, the extravagance of the backlift, the elegance of the swing, the finesse against the seamers, the dance against spin, the recklessness of the hook, the blitheness of the glance, the errors all so human, the style nigh divine ...
