After 33 years,West Indies win a World Cup,are new T20 champs

The West Indies team won the fourth edition of the World T20 their first in Colombo,allowing some of the younger cricket lovers around the world to revel in something they had never seen before the Caribbean flavour that the game has missed for the last three decades.

This hopefully will be the beginning of things to come. We wont say we are back,but we are on the right road, said an emotional Sammy,in between dancing Gangnam Style with his team and thanking God. The saviour of the day,however,was Marlon Samuels.

Choosing to bat first,West Indies found themselves in more than just a spot of bother 14/2 at the end of six powerplay overs and 32/2 at the halfway stage of the big final. The writing was on the wall,but Samuels didnt read it. He stroked his way to a career-defining 78,with six sixes,to help WI add 105 runs in the last 10 overs.

It wasnt nearly a par score,but enough to give their triumvirate of spinners,Samuel Badree,Sunil Narine and Samuels,a target to defend which they did by 36 runs.

From Jamaica all the way down to Guyana,this is for you, Sammy yelled. Thank God it is Sunday,for many people would not have gone to work had it been a weekday back home, Sammy added with the World Cup in his hands.

With the party having just started in Lanka and the resurgence of their cricket team on the global scene,they probably still wont.
