Melbourne, Nov 30 (IANS) West Indies’ great Brian Lara said Adrian Barath’s courageous century on debut should serve as a lesson to the rest of the team that there is nothing to fear about the Australian team.
“The likes of Adrian Barath scoring runs, a debutant should tell the likes of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan if he is back and Dwayne Bravo that there is not much to be feared in the Australia cricket team,” Lara was quoted as saying in Fox Sports Monday.

Lara said it will be difficult for West Indies to bounce back after their embarrassing defeat in the first Test at Brisbane.

“I think it will be difficult. Obviously a defeat within three days, it’s going to be hard.”

“But, there are some positives, like Barath’s century.”

The 18-year-old Barath is the youngest West Indies player to score a debut Test century.
