We haven’t played out best cricket admits Darren Sammy – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, which ultimately deprived them from ending the current year on a high.
The tourists entered the five-match ODI series as favourites after they claimed convincing victories in the Test arena. However, they soon found themselves in a must win scenario following losses in the opening two ODIs.
Nonetheless, they recovered in time to get their campaign on track, winning the subsequent third and fourth games to take the series into the deciding match at Mirpur. However, they came up short against a determined home side which inflicted an impressive two-wicket win.
The daunting top-order, which included the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386, the inability of the late-order to contribute eventually resulted in a lowly total of 217.
In reply, the Bengali Tigers were also halted early on and were precariously placed at 30 for 3. However; strong contributions from the middle-order helped them make gradual progress in the game before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146 guided the home team through with a composed unbeaten knock of 39.
Despite the Windies’ batters failing to emulate their form of the past couple of months, Sammy was not keen to blame any individual in particular. Nonetheless, he expressed disappointment after his side failed to build on from their impressive achievements of the current year, where they notably lifted the World T20 in September.
"We haven't played our best cricket in this series but we still were in with a chance to win the series. I would never blame anyone. We have to pull together as a team. It is not every day that the same people will perform," Sammy said.
"This has been a good year for us. We won four Tests in a row and the T20 World Cup. We would have loved to win this series but we didn't.When we look back at this year, I wouldn't say it is a step backward. We played as well as we could. Monday would be our last international this year and we will look to finish on a high."
