Respect, West Indian style
In the aftermath of West Indies' victory over Pakistan to seal a semi-final berth, Dwayne Bravo spoke of why the celebrations had been somewhat muted compared to those for the win over Australia that preceded it. As many might have guessed, it was all about respect, and Bravo's words will not be lost on the Australians as they settle back in at home.
"Australia was a bit heated for us and I'm sure you know why. That was a very important game for us and we wanted to prove to ourselves and prove a point to the Australians that at the end of the day, we're all cricketers, all human beings, we play this game, we should respect each other, we're soon going to finish and cricket's going to go on. It's important that we leave our legacy as players, not only West Indian players but cricketers. We have young kids looking up to us, so I don't see the sense in trying to sledge the opposition, that actually gets us going. West Indies is a team that you should try not to upset, we don't step on anyone, we play hard, we play with a smile on our face, we compete fairly, whether we win or lose it doesn't matter, as long as we have a good game. The Australians, they just deserve what they get."
Ouch.

Proud of our male and female teams. Yes we were expecting them to go all the way but they have given me so much joy and though what happened today was less than ideal you are my winners. I will still Rally....I look forward to seeing my boys in the IPL, CPL and upcoming tours. I love you guys and I will rally now and forevermore and I always bleed maroon. I am at peace now and my heart rate has decreased a bit
