Lara calls for better show
Afp, St. John's
Brian Lara began his third spell in charge of the West Indies by hitting the winning six to beat Zimbabwe on Saturday but called for a drastic improvement from his team."It was a reasonable result," said Lara who led his team past Zimbabwe's modest total of 151. Lara indicated he wanted to win the match in a much more authoritative fashion, and for the remainder of the seven-match series his side will have to get better. "The new ball bowlers have to get more wickets early," said Lara who scored an unbeaten 40. "I don't think it was as comfortable as it looked. Zimbabwe must be commended for fighting." For Zimbabwe, they had the privilege of producing the top scorer and the most successful bowler in the match. "We'll take a lot of positives out of this match," Zimbabwe captain Terrence Duffin said. "Where we went wrong in the batting was that we lost too many wickets at one stage." West Indies will be going for a 2-0 lead in the series, when the two sides contest the second match on Sunday at the same venue.
