Lara demands more West Indies runs

02 May, 2006

West Indies captain Brian Lara has demanded his batsmen rediscover their killer instincts in the remaining five one-day internationals against Zimbabwe.
The West Indies enjoyed back-to-back wins by five wickets and 98 runs against the tourists at the Antigua Recreation Ground on Saturday and Sunday but Lara, in his third spell as skipper, wants to see bigger contributions from his batting line-up.
"We lost too many wickets on Saturday chasing 152, and on Sunday, we were almost bowled out," said Lara. "We have to start thinking about 300 runs-plus for the remainder of the series and then I'll definitely be happy about it."
