"They promised to rain on the Sri Lankans’ party plans, and kept their word. The 36-run today (Sunday) win crowns an exciting campaign that included last Friday’s 74-run semi-final trouncing of Australia, a match that truly lifted the hopes and expectations of the people of the region.
"Special commendations are due to 24-year-old Trinidadian Sunil Narine who bowled 3-9 and to St Lucian Captain Darren Sammy who bowled 2-6, making a major contribution to limiting the Sri Lankans. Jamaican batsman Marlon Samuels also deserves kudos his mesmerizing batting spell of 78 runs which included six sixes," he said.
Warner added, "This performance proves that the West Indies team has found a formula for success and that the team has the assets and talent to deliver – something that their fans throughout the region and the world never doubted.
