Darren Sammy eyeing a turnaround against India - Cricket News Update
The West Indian captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, on Sunday vowed that his side would bounce back in the second Test of the three-match series against India starting at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, November 14.
The on-tour West Indies bowlers troubled the formidable Indian batting line up in the opening Test match of the series at Feroz Shah Kotla, as they restricted the hosts to 209 in their first innings to take a 95-run lead before India fought back to script
a five-wicket win the match.
Sammy said that they had controlled the first two days of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Test and would be looking forward to capitalize on the positives from the opener when they take Dhoni and his men at Eden Gardens.
"Before the start of the series we had said we will play fearless cricket,” said Sammy while talking to the media reporters on the eve of the Kolkata Test. Despite the result, we did, basically control the first two days of the first Test, it took a lot
of experience from that Indian batting line-up to bounce back," the visiting skipper added further.
The all-rounder rued that the result could have been different had they batted well in the second innings as well. He however, opined that the defeat has not shattered their morale and they still hope of winning the key moments of the game.
"Hopefully we can do it in this Test match and bounce back,” said the 27-year-old right arm medium pacer. “We never said it would be easy coming to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. It is difficult but not impossible. For us, losing 15 wickets for 220 runs was the key period of the
match," he added.
Sammy takes a lot of positives from prolific Chanderpaul’s first innings century at Feroz Shah Kotla. He said that the meticulous form of Chanderpaul shows they can dominate the spin attack of the hosts.
