West Indies captain, Brian Lara has said his side was looking to build up momentum by winning all their matches against Zimbabwe. West Indies has beaten Zimbabwe in all the one dayers and won the series. Lara has expressed confidence that his boys were capable of beating the Indians in the upcoming home series. He said that his team knows that they can compete and beat India as they have done in the past in the West Indies as well as in India. To me, the statement " We " can " beat India ", itself shows how much West Indies cricket has deteriorated in the last decade or so. Ten or Fifteen years ago, a West Indies team at home would be confident of winning any series with a certain amount of ease. Times have changed for the Windies, with them having to prove that they are still a force in world cricket. The job is not going to be easy against the Indians, who have been in top form winning series after series and the emergence of talents like Dhoni, Raina, Sreesanth, Pathan and Munaf. Along with that come the regular big names like Dravid, Sehwag , Yuvraj.
