http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 keen for a whitewash against Bangladesh – Cricket News Update
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 skipper, Darren Sammy, is geared up to win the second Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh at Khulna to complete a whitewash in the series. The all-rounder however, understands that his side needs to play better than the first match to dismantle the hosts.
The visitors defeated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045 and company displayed a heartening performance in the match, taking a 29-run lead in the first innings before their batting collapsed in the second.
Some of the home team’s players performed out of their skins as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146 scored valiant half-centuries.
The West Indies captain is wary of the threat posed by Bangladesh’s left-handed opener, Iqbal, who has the ability to score runs at a brisk pace, like he did at Mirpur. Sammy expressed that his side have devised a plan to dismiss the left-hander and expressed that his team also possesses a number of players who can impose themselves on the opposition bowlers.
“I have always watched Tamim score runs quickly. We have a lot of aggressive players in our line-up too. I expect them to come hard at us, but if we http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 to our line and lengths, we believe we will get him - and the rest,” said Sammy.
The cricketer from St Lucia believes that his players are fresh after a couple of days’ rest and are ready to take on the minnows.
"We had optional practice yesterday and most of the guys are little bit relaxed and well rested. We are here to do better than what we did in the last game. We have one more Test to go and we'd do everything to win this Test match. We want to win the series two-nil," concluded Sammy.
The home team won the toss today and elected to bat first on a pitch which is expected to assist the spinners in the latter stages of the match. It remains to be seen if the Caribbean men are able to curtail Tamim’s progress or not.
