Brian Lara Team Quotations

We've got a World Cup coming up and I don't need to shake any feathers or get under the skin of anyone but what we have in the next 12 months they will understand that we need to produce a team to go along with the whole big idea of hosting a World Cup.

We had some great individual performances but one of the things we learnt from the English is how to put a game together. They played as a team for the whole five days all series,

The fact that a lot of former great players have taken time out to give me a call over the last couple of weeks, to instill some interest in me, in revisiting my position as a member of the West Indies team was in itself a very humbling experience.

When you pick seven batsmen you expect to win the match. Chris (Gayle) played pretty well, but the team didn't pull together.

Coming on the back of six poor performances -- on that front, I really enjoyed it. I didn't think it was my prettiest (innings). But coming out and scoring a double-century against the best team in the world on the opening day of the test match, it's a special feeling.
