At a time when Caribbean cricket has probably sunk to its lowest level, nobody gave Trinidad and Tobago, the sole representatives from the West Indies, a chance at the beginning of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20.

The Caribbean crusaders have been on the ball right from the word go. With nine East Indians in their squad, they have become a favourite of the crowds. With four wins in as many matches, Daren Ganga's men surely are the team to beat in the competition. But the skipper didn't brag about his achievements on the eve of their semi-final against Cape Cobras. Instead, he spelt out his team's success formula. "When we landed here, we were the underdogs. We kept telling ourselves we have to play six finals (by finals, Ganga means games). We have played four finals so far. We are looking to the fifth and hopefully we can go on to achieve all our goals for a 6-0 score," Ganga said at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium yesterday. Theory Though Cobras skipper Andrew Puttick complemented Ganga's theory, he hinted that the side that handlesu00a0 pressure better will win the game. "That is a great philosophy he has," Puttick said, responding to Ganga's six-final theory. "But we are taking every game as it comes. Tomorrow's game will be massive. We are into the knockout phase now. Pressure will be greater for both the sides." Ganga, however, admitted that expectations have increased manifold. "When we arrived in India we were virtually unknown. The expectations are a lot more now. As Andrew said, it will be a very competitive game. As we are taking every game as a knockout match, we are not putting additional pressure on ourselves," Ganga signed off.
