Cricket is a game of shifting fortunes, says Darren Sammy – Cricket News Update
The West Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, believes that destiny keeps changing hands in the game of cricket, and no team can remain at the top, or the bottom forever.
Sammy voiced these views after losing the 1st Test match to India yesterday. Perpetuating their thriving legacy, the home team won the match by 5 wickets at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
It was a crushing defeat for the Caribbean Kings, in the backdrop of their glorious victories in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 last month.
However, the losing captain did not appear to be nervous or worried, claiming that he is hopeful of winning the coming matches of the series.
Talking to the media, Sammy said, “We always had hope. Cricket is a game of shifting fortunes and glorious uncertainties. We played some good cricket. Had we scored some more runs in the second innings it would have been a different ball game."
The 1st match of the 3-Test series started on November 6. Batting first, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 for merely 209, establishing domination in the game. However, the Men in Blue bounced back hard and restricted the Windies to a
meagre total of 180 in their second innings. Courtesy to the 76-run knock by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, the hosts concluded the contest at Day 4 on a winning note.
Sammy revealed that the tricky Indian spinners did not let his batsmen play freely.
“I wish we were more positive against the spinners. So we need to find ways to score against spin and not let them get us out. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 showed how to play the spinners and be successful," he said.
The second Test is going to start at Kolkata on November 14. The Windies will strive hard to level the series. On the other hand, the Indians seem to be awash with confidence after winning the opening match. Moreover, they are always tough on their home
grounds as it is evident from their recent 5-0 whitewash against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Despite all the odds, Sammy is still hopeful about his team's performance in the coming fixtures. The veteran leader has 19 Test, 65 ODI and 24 T20 matches to his credit.
