DUR­BAN–Cap­tain Dar­ren Sam­my is hop­ing to rest sev­er­al play­ers for the third and fi­nal Twen­ty20 In­ter­na­tion­al here to­mor­row with the se­ries al­ready wrapped up, but has im­pressed up­on his unit the im­por­tance of mak­ing a clean sweep.

West In­dies ar­rived here yes­ter­day fresh from tak­ing a win­ning 2-0 lead in the se­ries, fol­low­ing an his­toric run chase which saw the Caribbean suc­cess­ful­ly over­haul a mam­moth 231 for sev­en by South Africa, to win at Wan­der­ers with four balls to spare.

Sam­my said he would dis­cuss with tour se­lec­tors and coach Stu­art Williams the pos­si­bil­i­ty of us­ing a re­vamped team, es­pe­cial­ly con­sid­er­ing the up­com­ing work­load of a few play­ers.

"I said to the guys af­ter [Sun­day's] match, 3-0 in South Africa against South Africa sounds way bet­ter than 2-1," Sam­my said.

"Ob­vi­ous­ly Chris (Gayle) is our main T20 bats­man and we have the one-day­ers com­ing up and we know how cru­cial [but] how prone he is to in­jury. I think I had a con­ver­sa­tion with him and Stu­art and he want­ed to play [on Sun­day] so once we won the se­ries, he could get some time to man­age his body."

Gayle was piv­otal in the se­ries win, ham­mer­ing 77 off 31 balls in the open­ing game in Cape Town to steer West In­dies to an un­com­pli­cat­ed four-wick­et win. He re­turned at the Wan­der­ers to blast 90 from 41 de­liv­er­ies to set up an­oth­er thrilling four-wick­et ver­dict.

Sam­my said he be­lieved, how­ev­er, there were strong play­ers who could be called up­on for the fi­nal game to en­sure Windies sus­tained their win­ning mo­men­tum.

"We have guys like Car­los Brath­waite [who can come in]. To be fair, Ja­son (Hold­er) af­ter the Test se­ries looked a bit tired and we know he has the one-day cap­tain­cy to think about so Car­los Brath­waite could get his op­por­tu­ni­ty," Sam­my ex­plained.

"And (An­dre) Fletch­er could al­so come in and keep af­ter (De­nesh) Ramdin had the Test se­ries and have the one-day­ers and the World Cup com­ing up.

"We will talk to the se­lec­tors and see if we can give the oth­er guys a chance to play with the same men­tal­i­ty of go­ing out and win­ning in Dur­ban." (CMC)
