Gya: If Windies can't beat Bangladesh Lara SHOULD resign

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Brian Lara has staked his captaincy on the West Indies defeating Bangladesh in the second and final cricket Test, starting today at Sabina Park.

Fully expecting a bowler-friendly pitch and banking on his reconfigured armoury to do the job, Lara created a mild sensation at the pre-match news conference yesterday when he stated that he would resign as captain if the Caribbean side failed to defeat the visitors.

Yet, mere hours later, he seemed to be regretting the bravado of that statement on examining a Sabina Park pitch that showed only a slight tinge of green.

This is high class slackness. Now Windies is not even sure to beat a rahtid just-come team like Bangladesh?!?!

Not even India, you know, but Bangladesh!

After one time is two, oui.
