Dude's one of the greatest of all time.
I coulda sworn he'd retired though.

Nope, still going extraordinarily strong.
You aussies love him, right? He's one of the few examples of someone that absolutely devastates everyone he plays against, yet he's very much respected.

What is considered a good score in Cricket? On average, what's the usual scoring like? Because just reading he scored 200 goes right over my head.

Lara is a monster - when his arm is fit, he has an amnesty permitting him to play IPL games. What I'd give to see that live.
Scratch that - what I'd do to see any IPL game live.

Yeah, Lara and Tendlukar are probably the two batsman that Australians admit to being on the same level as Don Bradman.

200 is exceptional in ANY kind of cricket, but to score one in a one-day match isn't far short of miraculous.

Depending on how the pitch is (conditions can make it easier or harder to bat on), in one day cricket in which each team faces 300 deliveries, anything between 200-250 is about par score and anything north of 250 is a difficult score to beat, so for someone to score 200 runs solo in a one day match is just UNBELIEVABLE.
