Lara lambasts Windies' 'selfish' batsmen, says WI lack game plan

West Indies legend Brian Lara has lambasted the national team's batsmen, claiming that they were trying to be 'successful for themselves' instead of the squad following a disappointing performance against India at the WACA on Friday.

India recorded a four-wicket win over West Indies having first bowled out Jason Holder's men for a meager total of 182 runs. Lara had said before the match that the skipper should have bowled first on winning the toss.

Lara said that they have a false sense of belief in their batting, adding that he doesn't believe it's very strong at all. He said that the team bats extremely well against poor attacks but insisted that against first class bowlers the West Indians are found wanting on many occasions, News.com.au reported.

The former batting great said that he had one choice to make on winning the toss and that was to bowl and added that they did not do that.

Lara said that when one has a batting team one needs a story line, two guys aggressive up front, a middle order looking to accumulate in the middle and then one goes big at the end. He added that this looked like five or six individuals doing whatever they had to do to be successful for themselves, insisting that there was no plan at all and that's not going to work.

Lara claimed that he was a fan of Holder, who top scored with 57, but not as a leader. He said that he loves the skipper but believes that Holder is not that effective in the dressing room, not that forceful, with the egos they have in that room.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I think most people acknowledge the fact that Holder has the unenviable task and somewhat of a burden as cappo to a room full of egos.......

But then again you would know all about that Bri Bri

Richardson was always tactically inept, and Stuart Williams is a nobody. Fire both of them, and let whoever is in charge of gathering media/intel on other teams/players, work out the tactics in collaboration with the Captain/Vice Captain.

colour bline impse dont know what a red herring is..don even know who is black and who is not.

enjoy what contest...with you chatting a lot of crap in the background that has nutten to do with anything..you light on Holder as if he is some saviour...why...jooping all over the place no one knows from one minute to the next where the hell you stand on anything.  is that what you recommend as maturity for poor immature pattacake.

anyhow yuh right.  I am not paying proper attention.  because I have lost interest.  I have run out of energy fuh west indies cricket.  its going on too long the nonsense.  its  systemic catastrophe.  unless the system is reformed from the ground up, brought into line with basic inherent interest the disaster will continue until it kills the cricket

I cant get up the interest to watch India thrash west indies with a silly team, no game plan..poorly selected team.  this stupid team from day one.....

I have had enuff man.  especially if they elect skameron again tody

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
