http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 not happy after the loss against Australia – Cricket News Update
Darren Sammy, the West Indies skipper, is disappointed after losing their opening http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 fixture against Australia at Colombo, but praised his batsmen for posting a massive total on the board.
Having won the toss, the Caribbean men decided to bat first, which turned out to be the right decision as the former captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221, lived up to his reputation and blasted the Kangaroos all around the park.
Due to thundering half-centuries by Gayle and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 set a mammoth target of 192 runs for the Aussies.
Australia however, through http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 and company were declared winners using the Duckworth/Lewis Method.
While expressing his views in the post-match presentation ceremony, Sammy said that his side was geared up for the encounter but everyone is disappointed that they failed to live up to the expectations, especially with the ball.
However, the all-rounder enjoyed Gayle’s knock, who scored 54 runs off just 33 balls, with the help of five boundaries and four massive hits out of the park.
"Everybody was looking forward to it. The batsmen did what was required of them. we knew Australia would come back hard, and we took too long to respond. Just the way he goes about his innings, we just sit in the dressing room, and just enjoy watching him
play. Edwards started well, but like I said we took too long to respond," said the West Indies skipper.
On the other side of the coin, the Kangaroos’ captain is not overjoyed after beating Sammy’s men and admitted that his side made some mistakes in the match.
"There was some good stuff but there was some ordinary stuff as well," said Bailey. "That's what the challenge is, to lessen the gap between the good and the ordinary stuff."
After this victory, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 tomorrow in order to proceed in the tournament.
