Seeing Shane Watson score hundreds. It has been memorable, fantastic. It shows the old boys still have a little bit of fire left in their belly," said Best.

IND-M vs WI-M LIVE Score: They say statistics don't really tell the whole story. But when it comes to these two players, they give a ridiculously good picture of the kind of careers they enjoyed. Lara played 131 Tests in which he scored 11,953 runs at an average of 52.88 with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.

IND-M vs WI-M LIVE Score: Apart from being arguably the greatest batter to have ever lived since Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar was also a pioneering early star name in the IPL as Mumbai Indians captain. MI's glory years really started only after he stepped down from that post but Tendulkar did have a T20 career of note, even though doesn't even hold a candle to the numbers he stacked up in the longer formats. He played just one T20I for India against South Africa in 2006 and was out for 10 runs. Overall, though, Tendulkar scored 2797 runs in 96 T20 matches at a strike rate of 121.08 and average of 32.90, with 16 fifties and one century.

It was too much for the latter to do though and the West Indies sealed a 6-run win last ball.
