Lara to wed soon?

CRICKET superstar Brian Lara has given his strongest hint yet that he may soon be getting married.

But it is unclear, so far, who might be the lucky girl to “bowl” out the Santa Cruz hero.

Lara, who became the leading batsman in the history of Test cricket during the West Indies tour of Australia last month, was the best man at the wedding of his former team-mate Courtney Browne last week in Barbados.

He made 226 against Australia in the third Test to move to 11,204 runs, ahead of Australia’s Allan Border 11,174.

According to The Observer, when asked about his own wedding date, the 36-year-old Lara reportedly gave a boyish grin and said: “Maybe soon, who knows.”

Brown got married to his long-time girlfriend, Tricia Warner.

The quiet ceremony was attended by several former Barbados and West Indies players.

“This is the best day in my life, better than my playing days,” Browne, 35, the former Barbados captain and West Indies wicketkeeper said.

His bride gushed: “I am on cloud 99; he is the man of my dreams.”

Browne suddenly quit cricket last October, saying he wanted to concentrate on his personal life and job commitments.

His finest moment came in September 2004, when he and Ian Bradshaw led West Indies in a revival, as the team beat England by two wickets to win the International Cricket Council’s Champions Trophy.

Lara is the father of a girl, Sydney, who he named after the ground on which he scored a masterful 277 against Australia.

Her mother is Trinidadian Liselle Rovedas.

However, Lara has been seen in close company with many other female friends over the past years.

He is the owner of a mansion on Lady Chancellor Hill, overlooking Port of Spain.

The prime piece of real estate was donated to Lara as a gift from the government and people of TnT.
