Lara: We Were Outplayed, Dominated

Wed, Jan 31, '07

While speaking with the media after the fourth One Day International against India West Indies captain Brian Lara was rather frank in conceding that his team was outplayed and completely dominated. Following are excerpts from his responses:

On the decision to bat first:
There was nothing wrong with the decision to field first. I thought India batted pretty well and things didn't work out for us in the first half of the game. As long as they lay a foundation the likes (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni and (Sachin) Tendulkar at the end are always going to accelerate the score to something very special so again we started poorly.

Lara: We Have to Iron Out Mistakes

Sat, Jan 27, '07
West Indies captain Brian Lara spoke with the media after the vicory over India in the third One Day International in Chennai. Following are excerpts from his responses.

On Marlon Samuels possibly turning the corner:
I don't know about turning the corner but what I do know is that in the last two wins that we've had Marlon Samuels was a top performer with the bat so I think that is something very good for us. We are trying to build a lot more match winners in the team. We've got the likes of Chris Gayle and (Shiv) Chanderpaul, (Ramnaresh) Sarwan so we need a lot more.
