Lara to fans: Be patient

Napier - Captain Brian Lara appealed to cricket fans in the Caribbean to be patient after the West Indies lost the third One Day International - and the five-match series - against New Zealand yesterday.

'People in the Caribbean have a right to be angry, but they are going to have to be patient because rebuilding West Indian cricket is going to take time,' he said.

'We've been trying to do all the right things here.

'We knew it was going to be tough, but the guys in the team have got to believe in themselves and work as individuals on their confidence.'
