Darren Sammy jubilant after winning the first Test – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, the West Indies captain, is delighted with his side’s performance in the first Test of the series against Bangladesh and was all praise for his bowlers who worked extremely hard on a flat batting track.
The Caribbean men, having won the toss on day one, posted a mammoth total of 527 runs for the loss of four wickets, before declaring their first innings. The home team however, against all odds, played out of their skins and took a
first innings lead of 29 runs, thanks to superb knocks by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146.
After being dismissed for just 273 runs in their second innings, the visitors bundled out the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 Tigers for merely 167 runs on the last day of the match to take an unassailable lead in the two-match series.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441, the talented left-handed batsman, was named as the Player of the Match for scoring hundreds in each innings of the encounter.
While expressing his views in the post-match presentation ceremony, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 skipper was all praise for his team but also appreciated the fighting spirit of the young Bangladesh side. Sammy thinks that the pitch was extremely
in favour of the batsmen but the bowlers found some assistance in the last couple of days.
Sammy said, “http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 played really well, but credit must go to my bowlers and our batsmen. All in all, a good team effort. It turned out to be a very good Test wicket after 1000 runs in the first two innings, but there was something
in the final stages of the match and I am glad our bowlers imposed themselves.”
On the other side of the coin, the Bangladesh captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, is not unhappy with the showing of his team either and claims that the boys will perform even better in the next match, which will begins from November 21, at Khulna.
“The boys really worked hard. We competed well in all the sessions. Congratulations to Gazi on a great debut match. We are 1-0 down but we have lots of positives from this Test and hopefully we can come back hard,” said the wicketkeeper/batsman.
