Lara’s Controversial Comments
Thursday, July 6th, 2006This Garth Wattley article in the Trinidad Express includes all the quotes from Brian Lara that has caused a major commotion in the West Indies.
On the pitch:
“It seems like it was totally prepared for the Indians.”
On team selection:
“There’s a meeting coming up in a couple weeks and, depending on the selectors, I’ll definitely revisit my decision to captain the West Indies…I had seven batsmen for the first couple Test matches, I played six, yet I was given eight for the last two Test matches. I don’t know how you work that one out. I would like to see Morton out there if I was playing an extra batter, but it’s unfortunate. That was a puzzle by itself.”
“I have to accept what happens. I’ve made a couple phone calls, and I’m totally blanked on certain situations I made calls when I knew things that I needed. I needed certain individuals out there and it was still left up to the selectors… I feel that if we had a couple different faces, I think the series would have gone in a different direction.”
