The scoreboard confirms Lara's brilliant record innings in 1994

Lara made 501 not out against Durham in 1994, the highest first-class score in cricket history.

He was joined in the XI, drawn up from votes by club members, by fellow West Indians Alvin Kallicharran and Rohan Kanhai and South Africa's Allan Donald.

The late Bob Woolmer, who died during the World Cup in March, was honoured by being named the club's greatest coach.

And Tom Dollery was announced as Warwickshire's best captain for his achievement in leading the team to the Championship title in 1951.

More than 1,000 supporters submitted their personal greatest XIs, with the overall side announced at a dinner at Edgbaston on Friday evening.

Among notable players to miss out were Norman Gifford, MJK Smith, Bob Willis, John Jameson and Geoff Humpage.

Warwickshire's greatest XI: D Amiss, N Knight, A Kallicharran, R Kanhai, B Lara, D Reeve, K Piper, A Donald, G Small, E Hollies, J Bannister.
