If Jesus Christ can be crucified, who is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 – Cricket News Update
Having won the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, Darren Sammy, the West Indies captain, expressed his emotions and said that he believes in focussing on the game instead of worrying about the critics.
In the presence of some genuine match-winners like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, the Men from Caribbean were rated amongst the pre-tournament favourites.
The islanders lost their opening encounter of the event against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 according to the Duckworth/Lewis method but bounced back in style afterwards and did not disappoint their fans at all, winning the mega event by thrashing Sri Lanka in the final by 36 runs.
Over the last couple of years, Sammy has been immensely criticised in the international media, with a number of former cricketers raising question-marks about his place in the side. The cricketer from St Lucia is merely a medium-pacer, not having the ability to trouble good batsmen with his pace or movement.
He can be categorised as an all-rounder because of his ability to hit the ball hard; however, some experts believe that he gets a place in the playing-11 only because he is the captain.
After winning the World T20, the 28-year-old cricketer said that he is least bothered about the criticism. Flowing in the emotions, the all-rounder mentioned that even Jesus Christ was not spared by this world.
"The commentators get paid to speak. The media get paid to write stories. I get paid to play cricket," Sammy said. “Christ came to this earth, did nothing wrong and yet was crucified. I'm nowhere close to that man.”
The captain further added that he always concentrates on enhancing his performance and revealed that he plays to bring joy to the people in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
"Anybody could have an opinion about me. I like it. My shoulders are broad enough. It's been like that from the time I started cricket. If I turn up and don't have a good day, I suck, I'll come the next day and try and put in a better performance. I don't play for glory. I play for the Caribbean people," the all-rounder added.
