Chance to break a few Indian hearts, says Sammy

The skipper, of course, was referring to Sachin Tendulkar moving to within 33 runs of his 100th international hundred, and the sense of anticipation that has gripped the nation.

“From what I can foresee, we will have a full house tomorrow,” Sammy told newsmen. “The little master on 67 but the big crowd might have some broken hearts tomorrow. This Test match is very much poised and we have someone who is about to cross a massive, special landmark –a hundred hundreds. We also have the opportunity to break a few Indian hearts. It should be an interesting day tomorrow. Hopefully, we could stick to our line and lengths, and be very disciplined.

“We got three wickets today, they batted very well, but we came back well towards the end of the day today. They could have been five down,” Sammy went on. “We will come back tomorrow and look to put in a better performance. Hopefully, when we create some chances, we take them. We saw how the Indian bowlers toiled for their wickets. We are prepared to do that, and hopefully we can get more wickets faster than the Indian team did.”

Sammy dismissed Virender Sehwag for the third time this series, with a delivery that sneaked in through the gate to hit the top of middle. “After the first Test, it seems like Sehwag wants me to take me out of the attack!” Sammy laughed. “But I don’t mind him playing a few shots.That’s how he has played throughout his career, bashed a lot of bowling attacks around the world. Once he plays his shots, I keep telling myself that he could present me an opportunity to get him out. So far, he has done that in three innings. Gladly, I don’t mind it!”
