Want to make a strong start to series: Gayle


Kingston, June 25 (IANS) West Indies captain Chris Gayle says the team would be looking to
make a strong start to the four-match One-day International (ODI) series against India, beginning
Friday, so as to keep up the pressure on the visitors.
Gayle said his team had improved a lot in the fortnight in England, where they made it to the
semifinals of the World Twenty20, and hoped to carry their form into the ODIs.
The left-hander, who had been in terrific form in England, predicted a hard-fought series against
India.
'We're working hard to get a strong start Friday and capitalise on that through the series,' Gayle
said.
'Both teams are looking to win and they (Indians) are trying to prove something against us. At the
same time, we want to get more wins under our belt and continue our development. It's going to
be a tough series but we're excited about it. We want to have fun and play some good cricket all
around,' the Caribbean media Thursday quoted Gayle as saying.
Gayle said losing the World Twenty20 semifinal was disappointing and the players are determined
to perform better against India.
