Having scalped the Australian openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 in Australia’s first innings of the ongoing first Test of the three-match series at Bridgetown, the West Indies skipper Darren Sammy has claimed that batsmen underestimate him.
"I think the batsmen really underestimate me," said Sammy speaking to media reporters at the post day press conference. "They get through the quick men and see me and say 'ah he's not so quick',” he added further.
As http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758. The move paid dividends as the
home skipper sent both the openers back to the pavilion inside the first 10 overs to leave the tourists at 65 for 2. In an unbroken 10-overs spell, the St Lucian all-rounder claimed figures of 2 for 14 to put the Windies in a commanding position.
The 28-year-old seamer lacks much needed pace but his exploitation of swing, unrelenting accuracy and intelligent use of angles earns him breakthroughs. Sammy also revealed that he prefers frustrating the batsman before attacking him.
“...what I rely on is accuracy: frustrate them, frustrate them, take the ball away from them, then get a little closer, just in that little channel to play or leave,” said the West Indies skipper, who scored a quick 41 off 36 in the first innings. “That's
what I did today and what I've been doing throughout my career, just putting the ball on one spot,” he added further.
Michael Clarke-led Aussies will go into the fourth day 201 runs behind Windies. Sammy said that the opening session of the penultimate day will be crucial for them.
"We're one wicket away from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 I think,” said the St Lucia cricketer. “The first hour is crucial tomorrow so if can get some breakthroughs we can set them on the back foot," he added further.
The Test match is intriguingly setup and can go either way.
