Sammy opens up on 'Champion' song

Everybody knows Dwayne Bravo is a champion.

Bravo's influence as his side's premier allrounder is immense, but it's his hobby off the field which is inspiring his side on the path to World T20 glory.

The 32-year-old moonlights as a DJ and his song 'Champion' – a repetitive track which can be fully customised with an accompanying double-fisted dance move – is the theme for West Indies this tournament with a simple meaning which has emboldened Darren Sammy's men.

"What a fitting song," Sammy told cricket.com.au. "A couple of teams fighting to win the (World T20) cup (to become) the champion.

"The dance comes from you are getting presented the cup.

"I've watched the Wimbledon finals, the US Open, and when they get the cup (trophy) they do this (holds the cup in two hands and presses forward).

"It's quite simple – imagine you winning a cup, and you're raising the cup, and you bring your own flair to it. It's simple.

"That is what it is about. We've not won the tournament but that song in itself is buying into what we're trying to do.

"It relaxes players in the dressing room and we're just looking forward to … oh my gosh, I just thought about us lifting up that trophy.

"What an amazing experience it will be in the dressing room. The guys know what's at stake – not only the guys, but the women's team (who take on Australia in the preceding) in the women's final."

This is not the first time the Calypso kings have rallied around a song and dance in a global tournament.

In their triumphant 2012 World T20 campaign in Sri Lanka, Sammy, Bravo and co. pounced on the chart-topping hit 'Gangnum Style' by South Korean artist Psy.

Quick Single: England buoyed by varying conditions

The team pulled out the dance moves on stage when they received the trophy as champions, with hard-hitting batsman Chris Gayle leading the charge.

Now it's Bravo's catchy 'Champion' tune that has the Windies smiling and dancing their way to the World T20 final against England at Eden Gardens.

"I know come that day, you can see I'm getting goosebumps, come Sunday, one thing you know about West Indies you know these guys know how to celebrate," Sammy said.

"We will put everything, and leave everything, out there on the cricket field.

"We'll be the first to celebrate even better than we did in Sri Lanka (in 2012).

"It's not going to be easy but it's a step we're ready to take.

"And it's going to be us versus England and I believe we can do it."
