and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Veerasammy-Permaul-c94981 did well in the competition, helping their team go past the hosts.
The Caribbean skipper expressed after the match that he is more confident about his team now, with a number of impressive performances this year
“The most encouraging thing for me is that I turn up and know what to expect from the players, what Tino or Permaul will give me, or what Marlon is going to give when he goes out to bat,” Sammy said. “We have reached that stage. The
nucleus of the team is quite settled. The guys are performing consistently in the last 6-12 months.”
West Indies have struggled to perform consistently in international cricket over the last couple of decades but the current team have shown signs of improvement in the last two years.
Sammy believes that consistency in selection has been one of the keys behind his side’s success and hopes to carry on with the momentum in future.
“The guys in the team were in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and New Zealand, with Chris [Gaye] returning to the team. It's a more settled squad, just like our T20 team is quite settled, so is our ODI team,” he added.
