Hes got an emotionless face, whether we feel like were in front of the game or feel massively behind it, you never get any sort of tension or emotion from him.You dream of these opportunities as a kid, to play a World Cup final, and every time over the past couple of days Ive looked round the dressing room or the lads on the bus, they have just been smiling. Rob Key and Nasser Hussain take a look at the pitch ahead of Englands ICC World T20 final against West Indies I think everyone is excited and cant wait to get out there on Sunday but it always feels like Trevor is very calm and relaxed about everything.

Root is the second highest scorer in the World T20 from the Super 10 stage onwards Root is second only to Virat Kohli as the competitions leading run-scorer from the Super 10 stage onwards with 195 but he was keen to praise captain Eoin Morgans leadership.Morgan has struggled for form in India, averaging 15.25 in five innings, but he continues to set the overall tone for the team.I think Morgans captaincy has been fantastic across one-day cricket and T20 cricket, added Root. Weve chosen this way and approach, which has probably been a bit of a shift for us, and weve stuck to our guns. Thats a massive factor in how weve got here. The management have been very calm, a positive management that has supported Eoins view on how we need to go forward.Guys have gone out and been brave and played the way the captain has asked them to. Weve kept wanting to improve and when its gone wrong, weve not taken a step back, weve looked forward every time.A dream final from the perspective of the neutral fan would perhaps have seen the hosts playing in front of a sell-out crowd, but Root insists that has no bearing on how they will approach Sundays final. Rob Key provides a behind the scene tour of Eden Gardens, where England will face West Indies on Sunday in the World T20 final I dont think it matters, if you are going to win the World Cup you have to be the best team through the tournament, he said,If we are going to win we are going to have to beat the side that beat us already, otherwise we would have had to have beaten India on home soil, so its irrelevant who we play.Every game here so far has been rocking so lets hope it will be on Sunday.Watch England v West Indies in the T20 final on Sunday.

After both men had disastrous outings in Tuesdays 18-4 mauling at the hands of the Tigers, its clear that neither is the best option to begin the season in Toronto.NEW YORK -- CC Sabathia is disappointed and relieved all at the same time. Sidelined with a right knee injury, the New York Yankees pitcher spoke to reporters Saturday morning for the first time since the team announced he will have season-ending surgery Wednesday. Sabathia said the news was difficult to absorb and his situation is "not fun." But hes glad doctors recommended an arthroscopic cleanup rather than microfracture surgery, which would have required perhaps an 18-month recovery. "Its tough. Its unfortunate," Sabathia said. "But I feel, I guess, relieved that I have some answers, and kind of a plan in place to kind of move forward." The big left-hander, who turns 34 on Monday, said hes confident he will be back on the mound in spring training. And with a blueprint now in place for his return, he said he was able to get "some real sleep" Friday night for the first time in weeks. General manager Brian Cashman, however, cautioned Friday that theres no guarantee Sabathia will be able to pitch effectively next season. The operation will be performed by Los Angeles Dodgers head physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Sabathia said he was told he can resume baseball activities six to eight weeks after the procedure. "He feels good about it, and I do, too," Sabathia said, adding that NBA star Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder had the same surgery and came back fine. "Obviously, youve got to deal with a little bit of swelling here and there, but its something I have to do. My goal in talking to (Dr. ElAttrache) was to pitch the next five, six years and past this contract and be able to go out and do that. So Im confident in that idea." Sabathia also had surgery on his right knee in October 2010 to repair a small meniscus cartilage tear.. Air Force 1 Scontate Uomo. He said he thinks the latest injury was caused by simple wear and tear. "Its something that Im going to have to deal with probably for the rest of my life and eventually have a big surgery, but right now the goal is to keep playing, and this is the easiest way," he said. Sabathia has been sidelined with a degenerative cartilage problem in his right knee since mid-May, and the Yankees all but ruled out a 2014 return after he had a setback early this month while on a minor league rehab assignment. He was hit hard July 2 in an outing for Double-A Trenton and woke up the next morning with swelling in the joint. The six-time All-Star and 2007 AL Cy Young Award winner made only eight major league starts this year and finished 3-4 with a career-worst 5.28 ERA. He is 208-119 with a 3.63 ERA in 14 seasons. After signing a $161 million, seven-year deal with New York as a free agent before the 2009 season, Sabathia had his contract extended in 2011 by one year and $30 million. Making $23 million this season, Sabathia is scheduled to earn $23 million in 2015 and $25 million in 2016. The Yankees have a $25 million option for 2017 with a $5 million buyout. Despite his 6-foot-7, 285-pound frame, Sabathia had been extremely durable until this year. He had made at least 28 starts and pitched 180 innings or more every season of his career, reaching 200 innings eight times. "Its something that Ive never had to deal with. But I am now, and like I said, hopefully this will give me the time to heal and get healthy and come back to be ready to go in spring training," Sabathia said. "If thats the case, and thats the best-case scenario, especially at my age and with everything thats happened and all the innings that Ive pitched and everything, I guess Im fine with that." ' ' '
