Lara supports India for World Cup

DOUBLE world record batting star Brian Lara believes India can topple the mighty Australians but star batsman Sachin Tendulkar must come good with the bat and stay at the crease for as long as possible.

India meet world champions Australia in the ICC World Cup cricket finals on Sunday in Johanesburg, South Africa. Lara’s team the West Indies made a first round exit despite some very creditable batting displays by the champion left hander. Lara who was speaking to the media after announcing that he was contributing $5,000 to the Marvin Lee Foundation, said he was disappointed at not having a chance to play in the final but wished both teams well. He however came out his crease to say that his support is with the Indians. Lara and Tendulkar the man expected to lead the fight against the Australians are very good friends. “I’m an Indian supporter, I would love to see Sachin and the boys really put one down on Australia, make them eat some humble pie before coming to the Caribbean.” Australia will visit the Caribbean next month for four Tests and six one day internationals.
