Best and Lawson have the genuine pace that Lara is looking for

The touring batsmen dominated the drawn first two Tests and Lara says the hosts are desperately missing genuine pacemen like Tino Best and Jermaine Lawson.

"I need that fast bowler who makes the opposition uncomfortable, especially if the pitch is in his favour," he said.

"I've spoken to the selectors and I feel it's unfortunate I'm getting negative feedback because of that."

"I think as captain of the team, they must have some sort of trust in that person," Lara argued.

"We've got guys with lesser pace who can move the ball around like Corey Collymore, Pedro Collins, Jerome Taylor and Ian Bradshaw, but I feel it's necessary to have that genuine fast bowler for the remainder of this series.

"I want somebody bowling at 90mph-plus. Fidel Edwards got injured but we have a couple of guys in Tino Best and Jermaine Lawson."

It's time for India to worry about our fast bowlers Brian Lara

The Indians racked up 521-6 in Antigua and 588-8 in St Lucia and Lara wants "true" pitches in St Kitts and Jamaica to give his side a chance of winning the series.

"I'm not asking for anything untoward which is going to raise eyebrows," he added. "You speak to the Indians and they'll tell you if you produce something with a bit of grass they will be found wanting.

"We played England here in 2004 and all the pitches leading up to Antigua favoured fast bowlers.

"England had guys who enjoyed the conditions and we were 3-0 down before we knew it.
