That's common knowledge. McGrath plays for Australia while Sarwan is a West Indies batsman. To be honest you wouldn't expect teammates to talk to each other like that.

Lara is a proper leg-end!

GG don't you follow England? Not seen you in the World Cup thread?

[Fiddy]

legend and a classic 'genius'...might not have been the most reliable guy or as consistent as Tendulkar but I'd rank him above Sachin purely for some of the unbelievable innings' he played - people will remember them for ever. And right now I can't think of any innings Tendulkar played that even came close...for Lara to break the record once, lose it to Hayden then come back and hit 400, you couldn't make it up. Then there was his ridiculous 501 for Warwickshire and his knock against the Aussies...

I remember trying to imitate his exaggerated backlift when I was younger, but no-one I knew could get their bat down in time to make it work, his style was truly unique.
