Lloyd and team coach Malcolm Marshall apologised to Australian coach Geoff Marsh after Lara stormed into the Aussie dressing room in Sydney following his dismissal in the second innings of the second Test, on Tuesday.

Lara, apparently angered when Healy dived forward to grab an edge which some television replays suggested may have bounced short of the keeper, confronted Marsh and said Healy would never again be welcome to visit a Windies dressing room.

Lloyd, after apologising to Marsh, told the media that the West Indies cricket control board had been notified of the incident, and that Lara would be ``disciplined in-house''.

Asked if Healy was welcome in the West Indies dressing room, Lloyd said, ``Any time!''

Healy, whose career has not been entirely free from such controversies, said he hoped his strained relationship with Lara would ease in time. ``I have no problems with him,'' Healy said. ``I do know he has a few reservations, and tends to be icy in my company. So it is probably better not to push anything at all. I felt a touch of apprehension going into the rooms the other day, but if you don't test the waters you will never know. And the water was okay - Lloyd apologised, so did Marshall, and our team was happy with that.''

Lloyd, who had led the great West Indies sides of the late seventies and early eighties, said he told Lara later that what he had done and said was just not done. ``It's out of his jurisdiction to do what he did, and I think he now realises he stepped out of line. We will deal with this in house, we have ways of doing it,'' Lloyd told the media. ``Lara is our vice captain, and he has got to learn to play by the rules. You are always disappointed when you lose a Test and haven't done well individually, but that is part and parcel of playing sport.''
