First ball duck! Sammy aims to ruin Tendulkar’s farewell party

With the never-ending hullabaloo surrounding Sachin Tendulkar’s highly-awaited milestone Test, the cricket frenzy nation is anxious to see the master blaster’s explosive innings for the one last time…

Darren Sammy and his brigade are aiming to spoil Tendulkar’s party when the little master takes the field for his final two Tests in the two-match series against the West Indies in November…

While talking to the Indian Express, Sammy said: “I have played enough cricket in India to know how the noise levels climb a few notches whenever Sachin Tendulkar enters the scene.”

“And I know it’s going to be crazier when he walks down the steps of the Wankhede Stadium in November, one last time,” he added.

Considering the historic yet emotional moment for the home fans to see Tendulkar for the last time on the pitch, Sammy goes on to say, “There’s no question of us dropping our guard and getting swayed by Tendulkar mania. All my bowlers will be motivated to get him out. There’s history at stake after all. All of them, including me, will want to be the bowler who dismissed the great man for the last time. So we’ll all come extra hard at him.”
