WEST Indies captain Brian Lara had some strong words for his players after their dismal nine-wicket defeat in the warm-up against India in Jamaica.
The Windies capitulated to 85 all out within 26 overs and Lara said: "It's chronic the way we keep collapsing. We have to do some serious talking about it. We need to bat a lot more professionally if we want to win. If you want to be world champions you have to play consistently and we need to apply our minds. You must give India credit because they put the ball in the right areas and they reaped the rewards for it, " he said.
