Richardson to come low down in batting order

The West Indies captain, Richie Richardson plans  a  shift   down
the  batting  order  for the remainder of the World Series Cup to
re- gain his lapsed form with the bat. "I believe I can bat  any-
where,   put  me  in  at No.11 and I believe I could do well. I`m
flexible and whatever is required I`ll try to adapt,`` he said.

Richardson came to bat at No.6 in their World  Series  Cup  match
against  Australia  in  Melbourne  Tuesday where the  formula  of
batting Shivnarine Chanderpaul  (73)  and  Stuart  Williams  (44)
higher in the  order paid dividends. Richardson who suffered from
chronic  fatigue  last year, has been hampered  by  injury  since
his   return  to  international cricket which has not allowed him
sufficient batting time in the  mid- dle.
