Brian Lara unhappy with bowlers
LAHORE, Dec 10: A disappointed Brian Lara lashed out at his bowlers after West Indies were beaten by Pakistan in the third One-day International on Sunday.
West Indies could not prevent Pakistan from reaching the revised 192-run target under the Duckworth Lewis scoring method after a floodlights malfunction caused an hour's interruption in the match.
“We didn't bowl well today. To defend a target of 192 in 35 overs on a seaming track was definitely in our favour,” Lara told reporters.
The West Indies skipper, who himself fell for a first ball duck, said the bowlers had not pitched the ball in the right areas and gave away too many extras (31).
“We had a good score but the extras didn't help either and made a difference. At this level you can't bowl so many extra deliveries.”
Lara refused to blame the disruption for the defeat, which left them trailing 2-0 in the five-match series.—Reuters
