"One particular video that we see as a team is a song called Hall of Fame by will.i.am.
It is just a motivational song.
It teaches you that if you train and work hard, you will be sitting in the hall of fame,"

Against Zimbabwe, he kept things tight before he effected the Mankad that took West Indies to the quarter-final.
In the first of their knockout clash, he dismissed the dangerous Hasan Mohsin.
Then when the chase was getting tight, his unbeaten 16-ball 24 hastened the victory. ...

In the semi-final against Bangladesh, he got injured while trying to save a boundary at third man
but returned to bowl in the last five overs.
He first bounced out Mehedi Hasan Miraz
before bursting through Mohammad Saifuddin next ball.

Kemo explanation :
"He [Miraz] was batting really well. I think he was settled. My plan was to bowl good length balls.
He was going deep in his crease so I just decided to pop a short one.
I caught him half yard.....
It was a very important wicket,"

Paul is from Guyana where he "looks up to Shiv Chanderpaul".
He comes from the Essequibo Islands where he belongs to a logging community called Saxacalli.
Paul said that Chanderpaul guides him, and owes much of his cricketing acumen to the West Indies legend.

"I played with Shiv. I get a lot of advice and intelligence and guidance from him," he gushed.
"I am very good friends with his son too, we are both Under-19 cricketers." ..... :-*

While the song is their heartbeat, Shimron Hetmyer, the captain hailing from Guyana , said Paul, his deputy :
was the last person to need external motivation at crunch moments.
While the pressure of the occasion could get to a few players,
Hetmyer is sure his deputy's confidence and tactfulness will be vital.
Goooooooooooooo Wiiiinnndddiiieeesss !

I have long been telling everybody who is prepared to listen that West Indies cricket will not come back close to what it was until our youngsters are showing some passion again. In this bunch, there is an abundance of that.
