We have tried all the combinations and we have not been successful. Hopefully in the coming matches the top order does better.
Lara was delighted with the contribution of young stars in the Caribbean side:
It’s important the youngsters seize this moment. This is not a World Cup for the experienced players. We are going to be tapping on the shoulders of the younger guys, telling them we want to win. Today they came through for us and that was really special.
