'We know the gameplay'

West Indies have done it again. Against Australia, in chase of 179, they looked down and out as the death overs approached and then Dwayne Bravo and skipper Darren Sammy fired them home. Yesterday against Pakistan these two were at it again, unleashing an array of breathtaking strokes to score 82 off the last five overs after being 84 for five after 15.
"I think we have proved ourselves in T20s that we know the gameplay," Bravo said after the match. "If we take the game right down to the game anything is possible.
At no point did we let what happened in the middle overs get the better of us, I think that comes with self belief within each other. We showed against Australia what can happen if we have clean hitters at the wicket."
After some pre-match verbals from Australia's Aaron Finch, West Indies celebrated with much gusto following their stirring win over the Aussies. Celebrations yesterday were however much more mooted. "No need for the big celebrations," chuckled Bravo.
"Pakistan and West Indies are two very good teams, very similar -- no one knows what to expect from both teams. Australia win was very heated for us, I am sure most of you know why. We wanted to prove a point to the Australians that at the end of the day we are all cricketers, and we have to respect each other.
West Indies are not a team that you should try and upset. We don't step on anyone, we play very hard, with a smile on our face and we compete fairly, and whether we win or lose it doesn't matter as long as it was a good game. The Australians, they deserve what they get."
