chewy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Quote http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/994265.html ... On the eve of the final against England, Sammy said that comment and many other depictions of his team as mercenary cricketers have rankled, especially because West Indies have been a leading T20 international side for several years. They won the 2012 World T20, and progressed to the semi-final of the 2014 tournament in Bangladesh, where they lost to eventual champions Sri Lanka. "How could you describe people with no brains? Even animals have brains," Sammy said in Kolkata. "We're not an object, and for me, that comment really set us off. You have seen me talking about it. It's really emotional, for somebody who I respect and have a good rapport with generally, to describe our team - who two years ago were world champions - as guys with no brains. That's really out of order. "This passion, these emotions, this anger - what these people have been saying - this has always been there from the inception of the tournament. God don't love the ugly, and we are very wonderful and beautifully made. That's why we play exciting cricket. So for us, all these things that happened before the tournament - that is the passion, the determination that we take on the field. Its just one more step to lifting that cup and we believe we can do it." ... Once again had to be an Englishman to make such a comment (though made before tournament began), should spice up today's game. And if WI win then should be interesting celebrations as usual.

Cut the crap and stfu.. Don't blame them. Money talks and shit walks. Didn't Malinga also not retire from tests to play only T20s and in leagues? Players need quick buck and more time with their family too. Ironhide, Deewana and tweaker 3 Link to comment

Yeah man, i hear what you say..sammy isn't much of a test player,but the same cannot be said about the likes of Gayle,dancing bravo,narine,pollard etc. They have a lot to offer even in the longest format.. and windies have a successful t20 league and a good pay cheque from IPL ..but that still isn't enough.. Adi : Malinga is a different case .the guy has a degenerative knee and his days were numbered for a long tme Edited April 3, 2016 by Mahaa Raavana tweaker and Lala 2 Link to comment

The Realist Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Nicholas is a self loathing sycophant. He licks the rear end of the Aussies. Cannot take anything he takes seriously. Probably the most biased and clueless "commentator" out there Switchblade, adi B and maniac 3 Link to comment

adi B Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nicholas is an annoying pos,got what he deserved.tbh everyone knows that windies very rarely use their brains in most formats but whats the need of writing it just before the finals Link to comment
