The Antigua Recreation Ground (in St John's, Antigua) is a place filled with fond memories for Brian Lara.
At this ground Lara has played 13 Tests and scored 1632 runs at an average of 85.89 (with 4 centuries and 6 fifties). Of those runs, he scored 775 in just two innings. Yes, this is the very same ground at which Lara scored 375 and 400* against the Englishmen, ten years apart.
Tomorrow, he will stride to the ground for his last Test at this ground. (I am not suggesting that Lara will retire before playing there again. In fact it is the stadium that is hosting its last ever Test). Dravid and his merry men must hope that they can stop him before he shatters any more records here.
