1999 Barbados - Australia vs West Indies - The famous LARA 153 test match - Steve Waugh 199

Steve Waugh 199. He called it the greatest Test he had ever played in. The epic battle between Lara and Australian greats at their prime. Australia completely dominate the first three days of the test match.
Before the series began, Lara had been as close to disgrace as any cricketer can be. West Indies had lost heavily in South Africa, hardly putting up a fight. Then they were trounced by Australia in the first match of this series. Lara appeared incapable of stopping the slide. At last he responded by scoring 213 in Jamaica, an innings that caught the Australians off guard and allowed the hosts to square the series. It was the start of an astonishing sequence of innings from Lara. His range was extraordinary, like an actor who had played drama, tragedy and comedy in successive performances and triumphed in them all.

Australia dominated the opening three days of the Third Test. Steve Waugh set the tone with a rugged 199 as Australia scored 490. West Indies subsided to 98 for 6 before the fightback began with a partnership of 153 between Sherwin Campbell and Ridley Jacobs.
