West Indies captain Darren Sammy says his side is driven by a lack of respect from their detractors. Sammy was in bullish mood on the eve of the World Twenty20 final against England, cracking jokes throughout his press conference - but he also hit back passionately at critics of the team.The Windies boast some of T20 crickets most dangerous and experienced players and are ranked No 2 in the world, but were not rated among the favourites in India and had few high-profile advocates. Sammy and England captain Eoin Morgan share a joke Broadcaster Mark Nicholas dismissed them as being short of brains in a tournament preview, words which have fuelled them on their charge to the final.People paint us as money-grabbing cricketers because of our success in T20 cricket but still they dont respect us in this format, Sammy said.Everybody is entitled to their opinion. But whatever they say it doesnt really matter. How could you describe people with no brains. Animals (have) got brains. Were not an object.To me that particular comment really set it off for us. To describe our team, who were defending champions two years ago, as guys with no brains is really out of order.Gods dont love the ugly. Were very wonderfully, beautifully made and thats why we play exciting cricket. Having pitched his team as David versus Goliath ahead of their semi-final against India, he was asked what role they took against England. Sky Live: England v West Indies England and the West Indies will battle to become the first two-time winners of the World Twenty20 We are always David. David is a winner, he said. Even now I still think people dont give us a chance. Goliath is big and strong but David defeated him with one shot.We will always see ourselves as David. We will play like David, be smart about it, believe in ourselves in the dressing room. Watch the West Indies players celebrate in style after their World T20 semi-final win over India If we do all these things we know we could do with that belief, were going to lift the cup.The West Indies Champion dance has gained cult status since they arrived at the competition, enthusiastically aired after every victory and even in defeat alongside Afghanistan.They were also filmed performing their moves in the lobby of the team hotel following their victory over India, and Sammy is already anticipating the merriment that would follow victory on Sunday. Sammy, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle perform the Champions dance Just thinking about lifting that cup tomorrow, I can almost foresee whats going to happen after. But we have a game of cricket to play first, he said.Its going to be a match-up of skill versus skill and mind power versus mind power, but I know we win the celebration part.You can watch England take on the West Indies, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 1.30pm on Sunday.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.

Indiana Pacers Store .ca presents its latest weekly power rankings for the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League season.HOUSTON -- The Texans have a starting quarterback. Now they need star wide receiver Andre Johnson back in the fold. New coach Bill OBrien named Ryan Fitzpatrick the starter, an announcement overshadowed somewhat by Johnsons absence Tuesday on the first day of a mandatory three-day mini-camp. Johnson hasnt participated in any of the teams voluntary off-season workouts and said last month that he wouldnt attend these workouts, either. On Tuesday, he missed the opening day of workouts that are the last before training camp in late July. Fitzpatrick signed with the team in the off-season a day before Matt Schaub was traded to the Raiders and OBrien made him compete with the three other quarterbacks on the roster for the starting job. "He definitely earned it," OBrien said. "He earned it with his preparation. He earned it with his accuracy. He earned it with his command at the line of scrimmage." A former starter for the Buffalo Bills, the nine-year veteran started nine games last season for Tennessee after Jake Locker was injured. Fitzpatrick threw for 2,454 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. "This is where I wanted to be," Fitzpatrick said. "I wanted another shot at it. I wanted another chance to be the guy." OBrien said this decision doesnt mean that things cant change as the year progresses. "Everybody on our team every single day has to go out there and earn their spot on the team, earn their starting spot," OBrien said. "So quarterback is no different. We have confidence in his ability to lead our football team. Hes done a really good job in the off-season of picking up our system and hes executed it well." Case Keenum, who took over as starter when Schaub was benched last season, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage are vying to be the backupp to Fitzpatrick.dddddddddddd "With all three of those guys we need just a little bit more consistency," OBrien said. "It has nothing to do with effort or work ethic. Those guys have all worked extremely hard. Theyve all done what weve asked them to do." Johnson has said he has not asked for a trade but last month wondered if Houston was "still the place for me." The 32-year-old receiver is Houstons longest-tenured player after joining the franchise in its second season. OBrien said that he has spoken to and text messaged with Johnson, but wouldnt reveal any details. He said he isnt concerned that Johnson has missed the implementation of his new offence. "I believe based on the different systems that hes been in that hed be able to pick up on our system," OBrien said. "Hes a bright guy, a very bright guy and a guy thats done a lot in this league. So I think hed be able to figure it out." OBrien also doesnt think that Johnsons absence is taking away from the rest of the teams work. "Its really about the guys that are here and theyre working extremely hard," OBrien said. "They dont seem to be too distracted." With Johnson out, Houstons young group of receivers is led by last years first-round pick DeAndre Hopkins and includes third-year players DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin. "Weve thrown a lot at them," OBrien said. "Its not easy to play receiver in this system and those guys seem to be getting better every day." Houston had preseason Super Bowl aspirations last year, but wound up with an NFL-worst 2-14 record. Rather than choosing a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick, they chose defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney, who is recovering from surgery to repair a sports hernia and also not at the mini-camp.
