Despite series loss, Darren Sammy all praise for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 batsmen – Cricket News Update
Not saddened by the series defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, has drawn out positives from his team’s embarrassing innings and 15-run loss in the second Test,
whch concluded on Thursday, November 17, 2011.
By registering their second win in the series, the Indian team has achieved an invincible 2-0 lead in the three-match Test clash, with the final game is set to be played at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 next week.
The Indian batsmen hammered the Caribbean bowlers in the first innings and amassed a massive total of 631 with the help of fantastic centuries by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 and Mahendra Singh
Dhoni.
In reply, the Windies were ordinary with the bat, as they collapsed on a mere 153 and automatically suffered a follow-on.
Yet, the West Indian batsmen appeared with a better performance in the second half of the clash, piling up 463 including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386’s wonderful ton. However, their gritty effort could not
save them from an embarrassing loss.
Despite losing the game and the series, Sammy praised his willow-wielders for their outstanding work in the second innings, adding that Indian batsmen’s phenomenal show set an example for
his teammates.
“I would like to commend the guys the way they played in the second innings. (Darren) Bravo played well for his second century. (Kirk) Edwards, (Adrian) Barath also played well at the top
and then (Marlon) Samuels. India showed us how to bat on this wicket. It calls for application. I think we were in a hurry in the first innings, we lost wickets in cluster, but we showed character in the second innings," said Sammy who clattered 18 and 32
in first and second innings respectively.
The skipper heaped special praise on Bravo for his magnificent 136-run-knock under pressure, and hoped of a similar show by the left-handed batsman in future matches.
"From the time he (Bravo) made his debut he showed signs of brilliance. Hope he continues the same way," added the 27-year-old St Lucian who will be aiming to redeem some pride by winning
the final clash.
