Team needs to show improvement for a win says Darren Sammy – Cricket News Update
West Indian Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, has said that his side will have to put up an improved show on their upcoming, second Test assignment against the Bangladeshi hosts, which begins on October 29, 2011, at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium, in Dhaka.
Sammy, who has already led his roster to a recent triumph at the 3-match One Day International (ODI) series, admitted that his Caribbean squad will have to come out with a revamped performance on the final Test outing, having suffered a rain led draw at
the opening bout.
“We did some good things in this match and we saw some players getting some good performances but overall as a team we need to show some improvement as we look to win the next match and take the series,” Sammy said during his post-match comments on Tuesday.
During the Test series opener, which kicked off on October 21, 2011, at the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zahur-Ahmed-c98518 Chowdhury Stadium, in Chittagong, the West Indian side came out with some modest performers in all departments, kicking off with Devendra Bishoo’s imposing haul of 3
wickets, in association http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Fidel-Henderson-Edwards-c57010, who collected 4 wickets amongst them, reducing the Asian Tigers to pile up a competitive tally of 350 runs in the opening innings.
As for the batting department, the team’s middle order remained to be most effective, with Skipper Sammy batting a solid half century, while veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 falling a single run short of a half ton.
Sammy also lauded his team’s wicket keeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CS-Baugh-c1293 for doing a good job behind the stumps, which remained to be quite useful for the tourists, however, did admit that his side did not click as batting unit.
“As a batting group we did not put up the first innings score we hoped for and it’s a matter of being a bit more patient when we’re at the crease. A few batsmen got starts so the aim will be to convert those starts into big scores, which we know the batsmen
are all capable of doing,” said Sammy.
As for the his team’s upcoming assignment, Sammy comprehended that the conditions will surely serve with a different setting compared to their preceding outing in Chittagong, but is hopeful that his team will make a worthy turnaround.
