Was I wrong about Lara?

With a 2-1 lead going into the 4th ODI against India, Lara is optimistic about the prospect of a winning series, his first back in charge.

“But as I said we’re not taking anything for granted. We set a target, India didn’t get it; we chased a target down today. So they must be a little bit more confused now. Deciding to bat today, I thought, was something against the norm for India, especially looking at their record. So we do have them thinking, which is important … I feel it’s better to get these close results rather than beat a team by a huge margin. It shows the guys what it is to play under that kind of pressure and I think we’re going to learn more from it.”

Perhaps this marks the start of a new West Indian streak? Perhaps Lara’s re-election as captain wasn’t the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen? Perhaps I’ll get to say “was it bollocks” again? Stay tuned, folks.
