ICC World Twenty20: Feels great to hit a guy who talks a lot, says Darren Sammy

Cricket is a game of action. It all happens in the field. It feels good to come good when it mattered. I believe this win would hurt them and James Faulkner certainly wouldn’t like the West Indians.

On replying to Faulkner’s comments

It really feels better to hit a guy who was talking a lot.

On the tension in the final over of the chase

I knew that I had to hit sixes (after not scoring off the first two deliveries of the last over). But then we are known as a six-hitting team (it was an apparent reference to Suresh Raina’s comments before India vs West Indies game earlier in the tournament). I am happy to have crossed the line today because the match was extremely important for both teams.”

On Chris Gayle’s angry Gangnam celebrations

Chris is the leader of our dancing group. We play with flair and love to celebrate our success.

On the opener finally finding form

As I had said Chris is hitting the ball well at the nets, and we all know how dangerous he can be if he is there at the wicket.

On hitting the Helicopter shot in the 19th over

I knew that he (Mitchell Starc) would be bowling fuller and I had moved towards off-stump. I would been out if I missed the line but it was one such day when it came off well. That’s why I say that cricket is played in the field. As far as the ‘Helicopter Shot’ is concerned, it will remain Dhoni’s shot.
