We will cherish this moment all our lives, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 – Cricket News Update
Darren Sammy, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 and feels that all the players will remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
Having won the toss and opting to bat first, the Caribbean boys were in trouble at the start of the innings, scoring merely 14 runs in the first six overs for the loss of two wickets including the prize-scalp of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804, the right-handed batsman, rose to the occasion and proved his class in a big match, scoring 78 runs off merely 56 balls, in which he struck three fours and half a dozen hits out of the park.
In reply, the home team never got going on a slow and low track, managing just 101 runs before being dismissed in the innings’ second-last over.
This is the West Indies’ first major victory in international cricket after the ICC Champions Trophy 2004, played in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
The skipper dedicated the trophy to all the cricket fans in the West Indies and expressed that this was the best day of his life. He thanked the Caribbean cricket supporters for being patient with the team even in the rough times.
"We will definitely cherish this moment. I will for sure," Sammy said. "We're going to relive it every day of our lives. This is the best moment for me in any cricket. This here (the trophy) is for the Caribbean people. West Indies
fans all over the world have been craving success."
By making a comeback in the final after a disastrous position in the first innings, Sammy feels that the side’s performance is a testament of the team spirit and a ‘never say die’ attitude. The all-rounder admitted that beating Sri
Lanka at their own backyard in such a big game was not easy.
"We have a strong belief in God. He works in mysterious ways. He performs wonders," he added. "Like I kept saying in every press conference, there's a belief we had in the team. Yes, we expected them (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758) to give us a good fight
and they did.”
