Years of West Indies underachievement had a terrible psychological effect on Brian Charles. He was so used to being beaten, now instead of taking his guard he merely assumed the position.

After all the publicity McGrath gave the pair, Lara had to practice hard to make sure he did a good job before returning the favour to Sarwan...

West Indies new recruit Arty Fufkin only ever played one test, but he made an instant impression on debut:

"Do me a favor. Just kick my a$$, okay? Kick this a$$ for a man, that's all. Kick my a$$. Enjoy. Come on. I'm not asking, I'm telling with this. Kick my a$$."

"Hello, Satan? Are you there? It's Brian. I'm really keen on getting that 500 test score against Zimbabwe next year, so if you could keep doing what you've been doing and just see to it that the ICC keeps sitting on their hands until then..."

Brian Lara believed he could smell a bowler's fear. A palpable, acidic odor of unrestrained panic at having to bowl to the best batsman in the world.

But this time, it was just some cat's pi$$.

Brian Lara was given a three-match suspension after interrupting play for half an hour when he dropped his roach clip somewhere near the bowlers end between overs.

Not owning a ruler, OCD Lara had to use his bat handle to measure the size of his butt
