We are here to win the World T20, claims Johnson Charles – Cricket News Update
Having played a match-winning knock against England on the first day of the Super 8 stage, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625
World T20 2012.
The 23-year-old cricketer, who made his international debut last year, started off slowly against the Poms, struggling to cope with the extra bounce generated by the tall England seamers. The right-handed batsman however, turned the tables through consecutive
sixes against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501.
Charles went on to score 84 runs off merely 56 balls with the help of 10 fours and three huge sixes, before being dismissed in the 18th over of the innings.
The batsman from St Lucia was named as the Player of Match for the impact he made on the game. While expressing his views during the presentation ceremony, Charles said that it feels out of this world to have performed well in his very first mega event.
"It feels very good, coming up here we want to win the tournament. It feels very good because it's my first one," the opener said. "On this pitch, if you bowl straight on a back of a length it is hard to score - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harold-William-Stephenson-c61707 Finn is a tall man, hard to hit."
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, on the other hand, was all praise for both his openers and believes that the strategy to attack the Poms with the slow bowlers worked.
"We backed ourselves to set a target and Chris and Charles got us going well. It's good to see the way Johnson Charles played, he stared off slow but he constructed an important innings," Sammy said. "With Narine, Samuel, Chris, we decided to maximise our
spinners against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and it worked out."
Sammy’s main weapon, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samuel-Badree-c88341 made an impression with the ball.
The Caribbean men will be up against the home team tomorrow at the same venue and a victory will most probably take them into the semis.
