Trinidad & Tobago skipper, Daren Ganga, said that the team team’s winning recipe will always be surrounded around its home grown talent.
The Caribbean outfit tasted their first success of the Group stages, when they defied all odds to beat a strong Chennai outfit led by the Men In Blue's Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028.
T&T showed passion and enthusiasm second to none, as they managed to stage a comeback after suffering heartbreak defeats in their opening clashes.
While the batting has let the team down in the tournament, their bowlers have always been willing to share the extra burden in trying to defend small totals. Last night, facing the defending champions, the batters again faltered, managing only 123.
However, the bowling attack did the trick as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kevon-Cooper-c71194, who blasted his way to a 28-run cameo, also impressed with the ball, going under 4 runs per over.
Ganga later said that the team has always built its success over their home grown talent as they lack the riches of their IPL counterparts.
“Our strength is our team. We don’t have stars who have played in the IPL. But we have got players who understand the rules, they have a certain philosophy and that’s the reason we stuck by them. We have been able to contribute as a team in order to enjoy
the success today,” Ganga said.
The team is without two of their top all-rounders, Keiron Pollard and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379. The duo was pivotal for the team in the inaugural Champions League, which led them to the finals of the tournament.
Since then both have moved on and gained high-profile contracts with IPL franchises, with Pollard plying his trade with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472eam T&T beat last night.
Next up for the West Indian outfit will be http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cape-Cobras-c776 and Ganga hopes that the team registers a big win.
