Winning the World T20 means the world to us, says Marlon Samuels – Cricket News Update

However, their performance deteriorated over the last couple of decades due to the lack of quality players and internal politics, although http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Winning the just-finished World T20, in Samuels’ opinion, is a massive milestone for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 and company. The hard-hitting batsman feels that it is a reward for everyone who has worked for the betterment of the Caribbean cricket
in the recent past.
"We haven't been winning any major title for years now," Samuels said. "This is a great achievement, for past cricketers and for these cricketers who have bonded together to form a strong unit."
Samuels played an astonishing knock in the final against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, scoring 78 crucial runs off just 56 balls, in which he struck three fours and six huge hits over the ropes, to be named as the Player of the Match.
The cricketer from Jamaica expressed that his team have been doing well in several global tournaments without crossing the finishing line. He believes that winning such an illustrious tournament is the best moment of his life, which
the whole team will never be able to forget.
"In the past, we had some near misses but nevertheless, God willing, we came out on top. This is T20, but it can bring a lot of fans to watch us. Around the world, people still love to watch West Indies cricket. This is a moment to
cherish, and cherish forever. The sky is the limit and words can't really explain it. It means the world to us," he added.
