Should Lara suffer the same fate as Waugh and Taylor?

Well the above are the statistics of Lara. One can easily read the pattern. In a team whose batsmen who don't even average 40 Lara is performing consistently. He has also retired from one-dayers to prolong his Test career. And don't forget his mentoring of Sarwan and Bravo, the latter attributed his century ar Brisbane to Lara's advice.

Lara... performing consistently???

Balls.
Lara is too predictable. I remember every ball of the Previous West Indies's tour of Australia.. when Glen Mcgrath used to say"Lara is goin back this ball...." and then ball him a nice, off cutter on his off stump. He used to edge that .. and bam....there he goes.
Lara, has got himself kicked out of the One day team. He is not consistent enough.... and for once...he is not the matchwinner he was then.
Lara is a Genius...no doubt about it. But he is past his prime. Anyway, Its real sad that he wont be around @ the 2007 world cup.
