But I am http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 with the result, we can go to Dominica and still level the series.”
As a word of appreciation for the Indian pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566, Sammy said, “He bowled really well. He extracted bounce from the pitch and continuously ran in. He is working hard for his team, just like our bowlers.”
