Twenty20 World Cup Cricket: West Indies vs England
Sammy said his explosive opener Chris Gayle was also a key player.
“Since he’s been back he’s been excellent for us, we just hope he will continue and the fans love watching him play,” said Sammy.
“It’s going to be a very interesting game tomorrow, and hopefully everybody will be pleased if West Indies comes out victorious.”
England captain Stuart Broad said the Pallekele ground was similar to those in the Caribbean where they won the last World Twenty20 Cup.
“It brings back some good memories,” said Broad. “It’s important that we adapt to the conditions here and I’m very excited about that.
“Obviously you are five games away from winning a World Cup, but it’s important we don’t look it like that, we break it down to small bits starting with the West Indies tomorrow.
“We’ve played against the West Indies this summer, we know they are a dangerous side, they had success in the Twenty20 format and they’ve got players who have done well in the IPL.”
