Johannesburg: West Indies skipper Floyd Reifer today hoped that presence of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar in the rival camp would inspire his fast bowlers to do well in tomorrow’s game against India in the ICC Champions Trophy at the Wanderers. “A lot of our boys have watched him on television and seen how good he is.”

It would be a challenge bowling to him and get him out. It would do any young bowler a world of good.

“I am sure they would come hard at him and the rest of the Indian team,” said Reifer whose team is out of the semifinal race, having lost the first two matches. West Indies, despite their rearguard batting against Australia, have largely caught eye with their fast bowling in this tournament and the skipper is happy with his pace resources.

“They are all different type of bowlers. Tonge is very tall, Roach is very fast, somebody who has bowled the fastest in this tournament.

Bernard is having a great tournament. Tino Best is quick as well.

We have a lot of talent and they all are looking to do well,” he said. Tonge has four wickets at an average of 20.00 apiece and his economy rate of 4.00 per over is exceptional.

Darren Sammy is not too far behind with an economy rate of 4.82. David Bernard (5.35) is not expensive either.
