http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Darren-Julius-Garvey-Sammy-c52468 stunned by India’s decision to draw 3rd Test early – Cricket News Update
Darren Sammy, the West Indian skipper, is unable to digest Team India’s premature decision to end up the 3rd and final Test of the series without a result, despite the fact they were on the verge of victory.
However, he is satisfied with his team’s skill and struggle against the World’s No.1 Test side.
Talking to media here today, Sammy said “With the calibre of players in their ranks, men like Dhoni and Kohli and just under 84 to get from 15 overs left, I was kind of surprised. It could be that they didn't want to chance their arms against Bishoo.”
However, he stated, “I am very http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kirk-Anton-Edwards-c71510 and Chanderpaul did very well for the team."
The Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820, decided to cease the game when his team was batting on 94 with 7 wickets in hand on the fifth day of the Test at Windsor Park, Dominica. The Men in blue were just 86 runs away from victory in the last 15 overs.
Dhoni’s sudden and unexpected decision surprised many but he successfully defended himself by saying that he did not want to take risk as they might have lost the game in pursuit of victory.
With 2nd and 3rd Tests ending in draws, Team India won the series 1-0.
Sammy, despite losing two back-to-back home series against Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, is still confident about his players and has lauded the way they have been striving against odds.
The skipper said, “Batters came good in the very last innings. Having watched the way bowlers went about their task, being a bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107, kind of motivated the batters to go out and give their best.”
The Windies have been on the losing track since the dawn of 2011. Earlier this year, they lost an ODI series to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
Now, the defeat to India has badly shattered their morals and the confidence of their fans as well.
