Darren Sammy confident about restricting Australia’s progress – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 against Australia, to be played tonight at Colombo, and wants his boys to be at the top of their game in the do or die encounter.
The Caribbean men were considered to be one of the pre-tournament favourites in the presence of some extra-ordinary hitters like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804.
West Indies have been a touch inconsistent in the event, losing from Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 earlier in the competition, but have still made it to the last four.

time. On top of that, the Baggy Greens have some brilliant top-order batsmen in shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942.
Sammy however, is confident of stopping the Aussie onslaught through his spinners, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samuel-Badree-c88341 doing well in the tournament. The all-rounder understands that his side does not have any more room for error
and must play consistently well, if they want to win the World T20 for the first time.
"Obviously they have a lot of experience at the top of the order, but we back ourselves to think we have bowlers to take wickets against them,” said the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 captain. "It's a different stage of the tournament, it's a
semi-final, lots at stake and (we) just have to bring out our A game and look to just execute our plans."
Just like the first semi-final between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, this match will also be played on a slow and low track at Colombo. Sammy revealed that the team management has devised the strategy after closely monitoring last
night’s match.
"It's good that we watched them play against Pakistan. We have a variety of guys who could bowl spin. We will definitely try to exploit that," the all-rounder expressed.
The winner of today’s semi-final will take on Sri Lanka in the final on Sunday.
