Darren Sammy happy to be termed as favourites against England – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, the West Indies captain, is confident about the strength of his team in limited-overs cricket and vows to give a tough time to England in the upcoming series, which includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a
T20I.
The first match is going to be played today at Southampton and many sporting experts are rating the Caribbean team favourites to win the battle, after the inclusion of some of their star-players, who could not take part in the Tests
because of the fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The West Indian team will be playing at its full strength after a long time and in the presence of some of the great hitters of the modern-day game like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379, the islanders have
the ability to beat any team of the world.
Sammy knows that West Indies cricket has gone through turmoil since the last couple of decades but the situation has started to ameliorate. The all-rounder is of the opinion that beating England at their own backyard is not going
to be a walk in the park but the visitors are geared up to convey a strong message to the cricketing fraternity.
"I have not heard favourite and West Indies in the same sentence for a long time but it is good that you recognise that. England in England is always difficult but we believe as a team that we should win the one-day series," said
Sammy.
On the other side of the coin, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597 faced an injury during practice yesterday and is doubtful for the first match, which should weaken the home team’s batting line-up.
Sammy however, hopes that Bell will recover from the injury soon but made it clear that his team is just concentrating on their own performance, in order to make up for the loss in the Test series.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, "I don't think any cricketer wants to see an opposing player get injured, or will take pleasure in that. It is unfortunate for him. But we have to focus on other things."
