All's well if Lara's well
HYDERABAD. India. Feb 14: Brian Lara, back from his self-imposed international exile, shoulders an immense burden of expectation as former champions West Indies open their World Cup campaign against Zimbabwe on Friday..reports Reuter. ‘
Lara pulled out of the recent unsuccessful tour of Australia, where West Indies failed to qualify for the finals of the World Series Cup. in protest against a fine imposed for incidents on last year's tour of England.
He has returned to the world stage and the international spotlight at the sixth World Cup and also to a side beset with problems.
The 1975 and 1979 World Cup champions set new standards of fitness, athleticism and aggression in the one-day game during the late 1970s and early 1980s
Now. 17 years after their second Lord s triumph, they * are a side in transition, bedevilled by reports of internal dissent, led by a captain whose - form has been in steady decline and headed by two fast bowlers over the age of 30.
Captain Richie Richardson in a dignified and gracious, if uninspired leader, but he is finding it extremely difficult
to score International runs. There are also obvious internal problems In a team in widen three players besides Lara were fined for various breaches -of discipline after the England tour.
Outwardly at least. Richard soh and manager Wesley Hall were upbeat when the West Indies squad arrived here on Monday and stressed the harmonious spirit In the team following a I raining camp at Barbados.
"All depends on how well we put into practice on the field all the good things we have discussed." Richardson said.' "We will definitely put Op a better show than many expect."
Hall, once the most fearsome fat bowler in the game, now an avuncular elder statesman, added: " If we play up u> our potential, we will do very well."
West Indies have also realised that the one-day game has evolved since their glory days.
The surpr^e element could be a vital weapon." Hall said. You must try to keep your rival guessing, then sometimes you can catch them off balance. '
"If you have a set pattern in your bowling then the op-i>osition will know who will bowl the initial overs and who will bowl the last overs.They can then plan ac-
On’the other hand if you can keep them tn the dark about your plan of action
there is a chance that they will lie kept ofl guard and iw: could gain an edg«
Lara, the world individual record holder in both Test and first-class cricket, is a brilliant one-day batsfoan whose strike rate is better than a run a ball.
He warmed up for Friday's Group A opener during a practice match at the Lal.Ba-nadur Stadium on Tuesday, scoring 36 from 21 deliveries.
Such is the standing of the little Trinidadian left-hander here that several hundred spectators promptly left the ground after his dismissal as the West Indies went through the motions against a local side.
Lara, who left the field briefly on Tuesday with what Was described as a knee strain, looks set to bat at number three on Friday, with Richardson partnering Sherwin Campbell as opener.
West Indies will practise under lights on Wednesday while Zimbabwe play a practice match.
Zimbabwe, Very much the underdogs In one-day cricket but stiff a tough. competitive outfit, were denied practice facilities during their four days in Calcutta, much to captain Andy Flower's dissatisfaction.
Flower said Zimbabwe still hoped to make it to the quarterfinals despite the loss through injure of their most experienced batsman. Dave Houghton, adding: "We have a very good team."
