Sammy for his passion

         
Lara said he had the chance to pick two stronger players, but rather went with Sammy and Sylvester Joseph a few years ago, because he felt they would have a better impact of team unity, and his prediction has proven to be accurate.We were going to play in a tournament in England and we had 14 players to pick and after 12, the two players they were asking for I didn't want on the team, because they weren't going to play, but I knew they were going to be very destructive.Sammy led the Windies to the World Twenty20 title in Sri Lanka last year, and has moulded the once fractured side into a cohesive and improving unit, with players like Marlon Samuels and Sunil Narine gaining increasing recognition.And I remember picking Darren Sammy and a guy called Sylvester Joseph. Darren Sammy at no point in time would have considered himself to be a future leader of West Indies cricket. He was someone who you could depend on.The Windies legend said: "I remember picking Darren Sammy, not for his cricketing ability, but for the way he carried about himself.
