Brian Lara had snatched back his crown from Matthew Hayden in Tests

Former West Indian batsman Brian Lara had achieved the feat of regaining his batting record in Tests in April 2004 when he broke the record of Australia's Matthew Hayden to become the highest scorer in Tests again. Hayden had scored 380 against Zimbabwe a year earlier at Perth to eclipse Lara's 375 not out scored against England at St John's in 1994. Lara had hit the 375 to better the record of his compatriot Sir Garry Sobers (365*).
