It must be summer. Brian Lara is in town. And going on their first outing against a bunch of kids in Brisbane this week, the West Indies could probably use the legendary batsman, even at 46 and deep into retirement, against Australia.Lara will no doubt have an eye on the three-match Test series between playing golf and appearances organised by Adam Wilcox, the pro golfer whose company runs golf tours and also brought him to Australia this time last year .
