Sammy Edges About Smart Cricket in His Side
Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop says,”While West Indies' showing with the bat on the final day of the Mumbai Test left a lot to be desired, their youngsters have promised and should be allowed to settle in without being pressurized.” Most remarkable name with regard to this from West Indies side is their leader Darren Sammy as the team was lucky to have him as Captain. He has so far in his captaincy tenure proved his commitment as his team has achieved many things and most important factor is that only South Africa have known the taste of beating India in India in the last five years and now West Indies has though not beat India but it was alike. He has accepted the importance of cricket bowling machine and the full practice of cricket before entering into the ground against India. The young energetic West Indies captain Sammy had proved the consistency in playing can make a tremendous sense against any body else. Even critics also support Sammy to have practice cricket with cricket bowling machine, which is now very important for any players to have a good consistency in the game.
Sammy said with regard to the last test against India, “The day had started off with the West Indies batsmen shockingly throwing away their wickets in complete contrast to the admirable application they had shown on the first two days. We took the position for granted. Knowing that we had scored 590 in the first innings we relaxed a little bit. Some of the shots played were not called for. At the end we paid the price for it. I know the coach will definitely talk about it. It is about us being mentally prepared to bat in both innings of a Test."
However, Virat Kohli said in the previous evening, “India can chase down a target in one-and-a-half sessions.” But his remark was turned silly when he bestowed his wicket easily leaving his side lone at the crease with a new comer Ishant Sharma.
Sammy further said, "All sorts of things were going through my mind coming down to the end. At one point the tied Test went through my mind. I was speaking to Kirk [Edwards] at cover and he said 'win or draw, win or draw, we can't lose this, we won't lose this.' That was the belief in the guys. The way we batted (in the first innings), it would have been very heartbreaking for us to come back and lose the game."
