      pummelled four sixes in a ro

      West Indies hero Carlos Brathwaite has revealed he miscued one of the sixes which secured the World Twenty20 trophy on Sunday. Cheap Air Max 270 China . The 27-year-old pummelled four sixes in a row off the bowling of Ben Stokes at the start of the last over in the final to dramatically deny England victory at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.His third six over long off brought the scores level, but he admitted that maximum was really down to good luck as he followed the advice from his batting partner Marlon Samuels to swing for the hills. Samuels is spoken to by the umpires after exchanging words with Ben Stokes I miscued the third one, but a 65-metre six and a 94-metre six are still six runs, Brathwaite told ESPN Cricinfo. I just got it over, kind of spooned it over long-off. And then, I knew the West Indies are world champions, but I didnt want to get too far ahead of myself.Samuels and Stokes, who have a history of onfield clashes, were involved in verbal exchanges during the final over which led to the West Indies batsman being fined 30 per cent of his match fee.An unrepentant Samuels taunted Stokes at the post-match press conference by saying the England all-rounder should have been aware that winding him up would only backfire, but that he doesnt learn. Marlon Samuels had some more to say about Ben Stokes following West Indies win over England in the World T20 final. Brathwaite was more sympathetic on Monday, calling Stokes an absolute legend in his own right.You shouldnt forget what he has done for England in the past couple of months, Brathwaite added. Cricket is a cruel game, and a lot of people can be on him, but just remember Stuart Broad was hit for six sixes by Yuvraj (Singh), and his career has gone on the up ever since.To Ben, tough luck last night, commiserations to you and the England team. I hope he has a long and successful career ahead of him. See Usain Bolts unusual celebration as the West Indies beat England in the ICC World T20 final. Broad himself backed Stokes to learn from the experience, insisting such an event could happen to anyone.Its sport, isnt it? Broad told Sky Sports News HQ. Youre going to have highs and lows, and the reason you do all your training is to try and get more highs and lows.Stokesy, three and a half months ago, scored the fastest double century for England and lit up Cape Town. Its just part of that thing, as long as you learn from it. Stuart Broad has given his backing to England team-mate Stokes Theres no point trying to forget about it straight away, you try to learn a little bit of how youve felt and what youd do differently for hopefully the next time youre in that position.It might not come around in a World Cup final again but therell be times when every bowler will be asked to bowl the last over. Every bowlers going to lose games now and again but you want to come out winning more often than not.

Sociedad remained in sixth place with Villarreal a point behind in seventh, both in Europa League spots and in striking distance of fourth place and the final Champions League berth.

With 61 seconds left, they were chanting his name after he made his 43rd save of the night.Reimer stopped two more in the final minute to get to 26 in the third period alone and 45 overall as he backstopped the Toronto Maple Leafs to an impressive 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night at Air Canada Centre.He was first star, simple as that, coach Randy Carlyle said of Reimer. They had some point-blank chances and he stood tall to the task.This, the Leafs third straight win, had them feeling good after two strong periods against one of the NHLs most intimidating opponents and one in which they leaned heavily on Reimer.We know theyre obviously a powerhouse team in this league, said centre Peter Holland, who scored the game-winning goal 2:21 into the third period. Youve got to give them a good game if you want to stay in it. I thought we got away from it in the third period a little bit, they started shelling our goalie, but he was there to back us up.Reimer gave up a pair of power-play goals, one in each of the first two periods to Brad Richards and Brent Seabrook. The Leafs (6-4-1) got goals from Nazem Kadri and James van Riemsdyk, and from there Reimer shut the door.Seemingly at his best under siege in the third period, Reimer made sprawling saves on the penalty kill at one point after a shot hit the cross-bar and was stellar amid a flurry of activity in the crease later. Reimer kept telling himself to relax.Its one of those things where obviously the tendency is to get really hyped up and try and work too hard or over-work, he said. The thing is just to stay calm and stay in peace but still keep that competitiveness up to try and fight through the traffic.After keeping things fairly even for the first two periods, the Leafs were outshot 26-7 in the third. On the edge of losing the lead, Reimer was rolling.His composures the biggest thing of why hes able to handle that workload and the pressure thats put on him, Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf said. He was a difference-maker for us tonight, and I cant say enough good things about the way that he played. Right from the drop of the puck he kept us in the game. We did a lot of good things, too, but when we needed him he was there.Chicago coach Joel Quenneville thought the third period was one of his teams best of the season so far. He agreed with Phaneuf that Reimer was the difference.Had the chances, opportunities, missed a lot of tip shots, as well, Quenneville said. You play like that youll find a way to score goals.In goaltender Corey Crawfords first start since Oct. 18 aftter being out with an upper-body injury, the Blackhawks (6-4-1) lost for the fourth time in six games. Buy Air Max 270. You dont win, obviously theres cause for concern, winger Patrick Kane said. Try to regroup here, weve got a big one tomorrow obviously going home playing Winnipeg, a division game, hopefully our fans give us a little bit of a boost and we can regroup.While the Blackhawks return home to face the Jets, the Leafs will take a day off before travelling west for a two-game road trip against the Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche.Having won three in a row, the Leafs are feeling much different than they were a week ago after a humiliating performance at home against the Boston Bruins.We couldnt continue to go the way we were going, and our performance against Boston was one where in our minds and in their minds was unacceptable, Carlyle said.The Leafs took care of business against the lowly Buffalo Sabres and then beat the banged-up Columbus Blue Jackets. Saturday night was a major test with the Blackhawks in town, and they were up to the challenge.For us to play that well against a team that good at the end of a back-to-back, I think it shows a lot about the character and the commitment we have in our room right now, Reimer said.In addition to Reimers brilliance, the Leafs needed timely offence. Van Riemsdyks goal was the 100th of his career and 100th point with the Leafs and came in his first-ever game against brother Trevor, a rookie defenceman for the Blackhawks.Hollands goal was his first of the season but fourth in four career games against Chicago.I seem to be a bit of a Blackhawk killer, Holland said. I dont know. Just try and elevate your game against good teams.Notes — Before the game Carlyle said Joffrey Lupul will miss three weeks with a broken bone in his right hand. Lupuls injured hand will remain in a cast for at least 10 days before he can put a glove on it again. ...Sam Carrick was summoned from the AHLs Toronto Marlies to replace Lupul in the lineup and had 4:15 of icetime. ... Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson took a puck to the face in the second period. Hjalmarsson, who does not wear a protective visor was cut just below his left eye and left the ice in distress. Hjalmarsson returned at the start of the third period wearing a visor. ... O Canada was performed by 19-year-old Carley Allison, a survivor of trachea cancer who is currently battling double lung cancer. ... During the second period, PA announcer Andy Frost offered the teams well-wishes to Gordie Howe, whos recovering from a serious stroke.
