Work ethic the key - Ganga

Successful Trinidad and Tobago skipper Daren Ganga has pinpointed his team’s work ethic as the reason behind their capture of the WICB Cup one-day title. T&T whipped arch rivals Barbados by seven wickets in the final of the competition on Sunday at the National Stadium at Providence, to emerge with top honours in the nine-team tournament.

“We came here to play cricket and everyone was eager to bring success for our country because that was our objective,” Ganga said. “Our preparation was good. I think we just started the right way and tried and play hard cricket, and I think we deserved this victory. I must say congratulation to all the guys for playing their part in winning this prestigious Cup.”

T&T dismissed Barbados for a modest 142, and then achieved the target with Ganga stroking an unbeaten 48 and Adrian Barath getting 31. Trinidad, who were the losing finalists in last year’s final against Jamaica at the 3Ws Oval in Barbados, again look organized and better equipped to meet the demands of the tournament. With the triumph, they joined Guyana as the teams with nine limited-overs titles since the competition was inaugurated in 1976.
