Batting in the fourth innings. A not-so-imposing target of 280. Pitted against a spinner like Danish Kaneria who is yet to truly prove his class and a Pakistan attack sans Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami.
All this on home soil.
In this situation, Brian Lara has not been able to guide the West Indies to victory. He has fallen for a third-ball duck.
Result: The West Indies have lost the match.
The first innings hundred does not count in this situation, since it was not scored at the crunch time.
Therefore, Biran Lara is not a matchwinner, who can single-handedly win matches for his side off his own bat.
