what does sarwan mean by this.....

Sarwan also said he was not interested in replacing Brian Lara as the team's star batsman.
"I don't need stardom, I just need us to play as a team and continue to play as a team, we played very well in South Africa, unfortunately we couldn't win the series because of injury, all credit must go to him [Gayle], I'm sure he doesn't want any stardom or Shiv [Chanderpaul] doesn't want any stardom. We want to build a team and hopefully West Indies cricket can go forward and I think that is important."

ouch! i guess lara was like henry?

yuh wrenk!!!

henry was pure class on and off the field.

lara was mostly class when he was batting!

Looks like relieving him of the captaincy has had an upside. Many feel that he should be back at the helm. Sarwan seems to be pragmatic about the current situation with a "if it aint broke, don't fix it" stance.

Anyway, some telling comments. Suffice to say that Lara's batting genius surpassed by miles all other aspects of his character. In his "old" age he seems to be trying to don the mantle of elder statesman but only time will tell.

Good TEAM attitude and play and the 'stardom' part will 'jus cum'! Play to be a star and often that 'stardom' never comes!
TEAM, glorious TEAM makes all other things possible!

Exile,

I don't think his batting credentials are in any doubt... but it could be argued that the beginning of the demise of Windies cricket coincided with Lara's arrival on the scene. Didn't he bring a different atitude to the ball game? This is part of the argument that his detractors will put to his defenders.

And before we talk about insularity or inter-island rivalry, this is a view held by many Trinis whom I know are heavily involved in the cricket scene.

well said sah...although i would add that his arrival coupled with the limitations on foreign players by english county cricket and wicb's lack of vision was the equivalent of the unholy triumvirate....which has led to the decline of windies cricket.

and brian lara?!!

Why the hell did he bring Brian Lara in this?
