West Indies and Australia prepare for first of Super 8

West Indies captain Brian Lara will use all the weapons at his command on Tuesday including history, crowd support and his own special skills in the World Cup Super Eights match against champions Australia. Lara told a news conference in St John's, Antigua on Monday that West Indies had enjoyed some successes against the Australians, including a win during the preliminary stages of the Champions Trophy last year. Both West Indies and Australia won each of their group games, giving them a bonus of two points at the start of the Super Eights. Neither Australia nor West Indies had played at the new Sir Vivian Richards stadium, named after the island`s most famous cricketing son and built in partnership with China.
