Faulkner and Sammy trade pre-game jibes

Australia all-rounder James Faulkner, set to make his return from injury on Friday, says he doesn't like the West Indies team, never has, and is looking forward to getting one over against them at the World Twenty20.

Faulkner is particular has a rocky history with the Caribbean side, including a few altercations with Chris Gayle in the past, though the Windies do have the upper hand as they beat the Aussies at this tournament in the semi-finals in 2012

hahahahaha....Wuh Scammer said ?  :-\

The Australians normally have a lot to say. We are here to play cricket. I think probably James is the only cricketer that does not love West Indians. I could safely say West Indies are the second favourite team for the fans. It does not bother us. Talk is talk. We have got to walk the talk out there on the cricket field. He can say all he wants. We are not bothered by it."I think the last time we played them in a World Cup we all know what happened. If anybody should be talking probably we should, but I do not want to say that. Once we back ourselves and play like we know how to play T20... they will come with their pace attack. Last time they did that we scored 200 I think.
"We are not threatened by them. It is another game of cricket. Once we play to our full potential... so far in this tournament we have not played to our full potential. Once we do that, we will be very destructive. We were destructive in that semi-final last World Cup."

Faulkner maintained: "I don't particularly like them. Good players are good players. You have to do things to get under their skin and try and irritate them to try and get them off their game.

Faulk he ::LOL::

hmmm dont care about all the talk right now! deal with it on the field!
