West Indies captain Darren Sammy apparently stated that an improved batting performance was the only way for his squad to beat India in the second Test at Kensington Oval here starting on Tuesday.

The hosts suffered a batting collapse in the first Test, conceding a first innings lead of 73 runs and though they made the highest total of the match in the second innings, they knock out 63 runs short of the victory target of 325 runs at Sabina Park in Jamaica.

Concerned about the mental toughness of their ailing squad, West Indies brought World-famous sports psychologist ‘Rudi Webster’ on board to work with the side for the period of the Test.

Sammy welcomed his arrival and hoped he might spark the gone confidence that has bedevilled the players during this test series and the Pakistan matches before this.

West Indies captain also said that, he was long overdue a significant innings for the team, moralizing the power of personal responsibility.

He scored a quick fire 25 runs in the second innings in the first Test match, striking three successive sixes of Harbhajan Singh.

Darren Sammy also felt that, he and his team-pals had to learn about how to grab the moment, hoping Dr. Webster could help them in this regard to have more self-confidence to take control of match situation.
