STRIKE bowler Allan Donald said on Tuesday he had lost all respect for Brian Lara as a captain after West Indies’ 5-0 series loss in the republic this year. In an extract from his biography, published in The Express, Donald said West Indies had looked demoralised before the series began while Lara had lacked the dynamism and professionalism to pull them round. “I lost all respect for him as a captain last winter,” Donald said. “I’ve known Brian since 1992 and I was saddened to see how he had changed over the years. I found it difficult even to have a conversation with him during the West Indies tour of South Africa.” Both Donald and Lara will feature in the World Cup opening on May 14.
