It's not difficult to get Darren Sammy to smile. The West Indies
Twenty20 International skipper has a naturally sunny disposition, and
he's not prone to let life's downers affect him too much. But these
days, what brings the widest smile to his face is simply a look around
the dressing room.
In the ongoing ICC World Twenty20 2016, West Indies has quickly established itself as one of the most fearsome teams, with an enviable depth and explosive power that few others can match. Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Carlos Brathwaite and Sammy himself can bowl seam-up and bat. Chris Gayle's offspin is rarely used, but it's an option in addition his big-hitting. Among those waiting in the wings, Jason Holder, the pace bowler, is no mug with the bat.

Indeed, Sammy has so many riches at his command that neither he nor Gayle have had to bowl a single over so far. "For me, T20 is about momentum. It's just looking at how the game is developing, unfolding. As a captain, am always looking at what's best for the team," he explained. "If you notice, in the first game, we had so many bowling options. I have not bowled in the tournament as yet, Chris has not bowled one over. The first match, the main bowlers didn't really complete their overs. The last match, we started so well that I just used five bowlers. In these conditions here, where the ball might grip a little and variation is important, you might see me bowl a couple of overs. That's the beauty of our team."

comes, we all are ready and eager to go out and bat and perform for the
team. One of our goals is whoever is out there having a good day, do it
for the team. Don't leave anything for the dressing room. So we have 15
hungry match-winners. If we continue like this, we fancy our chances in
this tournament."Indeed, Sammy has so many riches at his command that neither he nor Gayle have had to bowl a single over so far. "For me, T20 is about momentum.
