West Indies pace bowler Jermaine Lawson insisted he is not yet the finished
article despite inspiring his side to a win over Kenya.
Kenya were bowled out for just 104 in 35.5 overs after West Indies posted 246
for seven in yesterday's Pool B clash in Kimberley.
The 21-year-old Jamaican, the fastest bowler in the West Indies squad, played
his first game of the World Cup and bowled with pace and accuracy to grab two
for 16 off eight overs to help humble the Kenyans.
"I enjoyed my first game," said Lawson. "Obviously, I always want to play
but the selectors are the ones who are in charge. I have to wait until they give
me an opportunity.
"I know that I am not slow but I have a lot of things to work on. I want to
continue to do well when I am given a chance and hopefully I will be able to be
a regular member of the team some day."
Lawson credited his team-mates with his performance. "They really got behind
me. They gave me the encouragement I needed after I started with three wides in
my first over and with that I was able to bowl better and better," he said.
"Kenya are a weak team and I don't want to be too happy about this
performance. I want to begin to get lots of wickets against the better teams."
Kenya captain Steve Tikolo admits he is worried about his side's batting
frailties ahead of the Super Six.
"We played badly and I'm a bit concerned with our batting going into the
Super Six," said Tikolo. "Our batting is usually our strong point and we did
not bat well at all.
"Our batting has not been up to the mark. We've not been getting the big
totals but hopefully that will happen in the Super Sixes.
"They bowled well. Lawson bowled very quickly but we should have done
better.
"We have to go back into the nets and work on a few things before the Super
Sixes because we want to give a very good show."
