TONY COZIER in JOHANNESBURG 

+++++++++
...On the face of it, to scramble a draw in one Test in which they
were outplayed throughout, win the next after a second innings
collapse to 128 all out, and need to take the last two ODI matches to
clinch that contest was less than expected against a team with a
record even more modest than their own. 

The interpretation of captain and coach is that a team is developing
that refuses to give in, even if the dire situations in which it so
often finds itself are self-inflicted. 

The West Indies have now gone five Tests without defeat, a rarity.
They have won three and had to produce something special in each. 

So Lara starts his second tour of South Africa in his second tenure as
captain in distinctly different circumstances to his first five years
ago. 

The build-up in Zimbabwe has again given credence to Shakespeare’s
assertion that all’s well that ends well. Back then, it was all’s
wrong that starts wrong. 

There was doubt over whether the tour, of even more social and
political than cricketing significance, would start at all. 

It was preceded by the most unsavoury chapter in West Indies cricket
history, a week-long players’ strike, conducted at London’s Heathrow
Airport of all places.
