"My boys are really in awe of their standard. They got great guys, friendly guys and they also got great professionals and we are trying to learn each and every step of the way," an upbeat Lara said Sunday after the West Indies defeated Australia by 39 runs in the fifth One-Day International at Queen's Park Oval.

The victory by the West Indies, snapped Australia's 21-match winning streak in One-Day Internationals, a record which Lara says will be hard to surpass.

"It is going to be hard to beat because Australia is the premier team in the world in Test cricket and One-Day Internationals and every team is going to cross their path on occasions," Lara noted.

"It is going to be very tough for any other team to do it. I think Australia is in a position to do it again, hopefully not starting in Grenada," added Lara as he looked ahead to the final two ODIs in St George's on Friday and Sunday.

"It is going to be tough to get so much results because One-Day cricket is instant cricket. Who plays better on the day," asserted Lara.

"It just shows that we got to try to emulate a team such as that. Maybe not in stats but definitely in the trophies and the results that they have gotten over the years," Lara reasoned.

Lara acknowledged it was difficult to compare the success of Steve Waugh's Test team and Ricky Ponting's One-Day side.

"It's two different games but I'm almost sure that the (Australia) Test team is going to do better than the One-Day team. I think they had a golden run in the One-Day series but 11 Test wins on a trot is a tremendous feat and credit must be given to Steve Waugh and the boys on achieving that," Lara contended.
