Says that the recent turn between England's defeat and the future game against the USA is now the target.
Daren Sammy told his West Indies team to place their eight-wicket lost to England "in the bullshit" and insisted that they can also get an unprecedented third people's T20 World Cup.
West Indies set England 181 to succeed in St Lucia- at the ground bearing Sammy's name- but just took two wickets as the defending champions cruised home with 15 balls to extra, thanks largely to Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow's continuous 97-run partnership for the second wicket. Sammy said that only on a flat ball, his team were" about 25 goes small" of a winning overall.
" It's part of the game," Sammy said. " This decline will not soften our souls. We also believe we've got a team that may get this World Cup, and that's what I'll tell the guys inside when I speak to them: garden this match, put it in the wastes. And we move ahead to Barbados where we win against the USA, and then we have South Africa in Antigua on Sunday.
" No-one said it was going to be easy. There are excellent groups in the game. The defending leaders took our place now, and they fought back. But that does n't mean our tournament is over. Our life is in our own fingers, and I feel I've got the 15, the group of men, that we believe that this event, we may succeed. "
The part that defeated Afghanistan on Monday was reverted to the XI that defeated New Zealand in Trinidad after two changes. Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd- who missed Monday's match on paternity keep- replaced Shai Hope and Obed McCoy, who took 3 for 14 against Afghanistan and was terrible to miss out.
" We could talk about it now in perspective, but I've said it from day one: we have 15 prospective match-winners," Sammy said. " Obed did dish also [against Afghanistan] but if you look at what Shepherd has done for us over the last year in T20 cricket, what he brings to the team, we thought going against them, particularly the probable line-up England could have and the double rule that he brings [was the correct option]. "
West Indies are currently at the bottom of Group 2's Super Eight's standings, and they almost certainly need to beat both the USA and South Africa to advance to the semi-finals following week. In a event, there is a game where the criticism will get the better of you, Sammy said." We did not kill our plans also enough.
" But that does n't mean we're out of it. Now, in order to succeed, we've got to get all our matches and that's what we'll rely on. We'll leave St Lucia with this game at this point. It's a short turnaround: we go to Barbados tomorrow and on Friday we have a game against the USA. We'll meet as a selection group and see how best we could further improve our team based on the conditions. "
