@Captain1

^ only point to comparing him to Shoaib was that both of them are “star” valued and other starters feel that their presence alone will do it for the team and hence their performance not what it should’ve been. Lets just wait and watch (~:

Were you smoking when you were writing these postss???
Let me provide you some data
Lara as a batsman
1.His average when windies won, 31matches 2751 runs 213 highest 59.80 average 7 centuries 16 fifties

*2. His average when WI drew a match
31matches 3235 runs highest400 73.52 average 10 centuries 9fifities

3. Alltogether average in matches which windies didn’t lose
62 matches 5986runs 400 highest 66.51 average 17 centuries 25 fifties***
4. Average when WI lost
**53matches 4501runs 221highest average42.46 centuries11 21fifties **
Even in the matches lost, he tried and probably singlehandedly to save the match, unlike other players who choke when it really matters

Let me compare lara’s batting average as a captain with some other captains
1.Clive Lloyd
*74mactches 5233runs highest242 average51.30 centuries14 27fifties **

2.Viv Richards
50matches 3068runs highest146 average45.11 centuries6 23 fifties

3.Richie Richardson
24matches 1302runs highest109 average35.18 centuires2 9 fifties

4.Hooper
22matches 1609runs highest233 average45.97 centuries4 9fifities

5.Brian Lara
40 matches runs4026 highest400 average59.20 centuries11 18fifties*

So basically you are trying to say that if there is a super player in a loser side, its the player fault that why he is a superplayer
Let me provide you some final figures. These are the matches when lara was captain
****1. WI won ****
****10matches runs1252 highest 213 average83.46 4centuries 6fifties ****

2.Match drawn
7 matches 937runs highest400 average133.85 3centuries 2fifties*

3.WI won or drawn

4. WI lost

You can see that his average in matches lost under his captaincy is below his standards consideriing his other averages. But it proves that when lara as a captain ,specially recently leading a loser side, doesn’t perform (since he is a human and can fail sometimes which will result in an average of approx. 40) the losers in the side can’t perform. But then according to you the other players are so overwhelmed with lara performance that they can’t perform. I know only pot can make you think and talk like this
