West Indies progression to the World T20 final is a big boost to Caribbean fans, says captain Darren Sammy. Lendl Simmons (82no), Johnson Charles (52) and Andre Russell (43no) starred with the bat as Sammys men trumped Indias 192-2 to seal a date with England in Kolkata on Sunday.West Indies could enjoy twin success at the weekend with their women facing Australia in the final of their competition, while the nations Under-19 side won the 50-over World Cup in January. Its a big step, said Sammy, whose players were involved in contractual wrangles with their cricket board prior to the tournament,We came here on a mission - we were inspired by the Under-19s boys earlier this year, and the ladies did brilliantly to win [their semi-final against New Zealand].We now have two West Indian teams in the finals and I know that means a lot to the Caribbean people.The mens side have been going through a lot - we all know what happened just before the tournament - and we still feel its this West Indies team and this coaching staff versus everybody else.Match winner Simmons was only in the West Indies line-up due to Andre Fletcher picking up a hamstring strain in Sundays Super 10s defeat to Afghanistan. Lendl Simmons unbeaten 82 off 51 balls helped West Indies beat India The 31-year-old, who flew to Mumbai from the Caribbean on Tuesday, says his innings, during which he was caught twice off front-foot no-balls, was made easier by the fact he was playing on his home IPL ground.Playing in the IPL has made be a better player, said Simmons. On these pitches, you adjust to different strokes and I think I read it well.Before the game I felt a bit of pressure , but when I entered to bat I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do because we already had a plan to chase the target.Every cricketer has a day and this was mine - I had luck on my side and things went the way we wanted it. James Anderson, Kumar Sangakkara and Michael Atherton react to West Indies win On Sundays final, Simmons added: We shouldnt be over confident. We have to go to Kolkata and analyse the situation of the game when that comes.Conditions will be different, I am sure. It wont be a perfect batting track.Can West Indies win both World T20 titles?

Ito Smith Falcons Jersey . -- Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was admitted to the hospital Friday for observation due to minor complications from cancer treatments, his family said. RICHMOND, Va. -- Jeff Gordon will try to race his way into NASCARs playoffs from the pole position. The four-time series champion turned a track-record qualifying lap of 130.599 mph at Richmond International Raceway on Friday night to win his 73rd career pole position, and his first this season. "I can breathe now," Gordon joked after seeing the time hold up. His lap pushed Kurt Busch to the outside of the front row, meaning the tension win be palpable once the green flag drops Saturday night for the 400-lap race around the 0.75-mile, D-shaped oval. Busch is 10th in points, and the top 10 after Saturday nights race earn automatic berths in the 10-race playoffs to finish the season. Gordon is 11th, six points behind, and needs to pass Busch or one of the other drivers now in the top 10 to assure himself a berth in the Chase for the championship. In all, 10 drivers are fighting for the last five spots. "Theres no doubt we all recognize whats on the line here," Gordon said. The pole extended to 21 Gordons NASCAR-record string of consecutive seasons with a pole position, breaking a tie with David Pearson, and gave him the No. 1 pit stall on the front stretch at RIR. "I didnt think it was going to come this year. Ill be honest," Gordon said of the top starting spot. "Qualifying has not been very good for me and for our team this year. Very proud of this one. Boy, it comes at a great time. ... We know how important that number one pit stall is and starting up front." Busch, the 2004 series champion, rallied after being 19th-fastest in practice, possible with the help of cloud cover that moved in front of the sun just as he was wheeling onto the track for his run.dddddddddddd "We will take the cloud cover and we will take those adjustments we made," Busch said, adding that "we just threw a couple of things at it, and it stuck. ... That lap came out of nowhere. Awesome lap." Defending series champion Brad Keselowski, who is 15th in points and still has a remote chance of racing his way into the Chase, will start third, followed by Clint Bowyer and Matt Kenseth. Bowyer and Kenseth are among the drivers already locked into the Chase, meaning all eyes will be on the front once the race starts, with Gordon and Busch no doubt battling to lead the first lap, or any lap, top gain a bonus point that could prove critical as the race winds down under the lights. "It depends on what everybodys attitude and goals are," Gordon said of the tone that could be set right away. "This is a long race. Youve got to be smart. We found that out last year." Gordon arrived at RIR last year still needing to lock up a spot in the playoffs, went a lap down early on and kept battling. He eventually rallied to finish second and made it into the Chase field. Busch, too, said getting to the finish in good shape is what will matter most. "We want to make sure we pace ourselves, do the right thing," he said. "We are feeling good about this. I love these challenges and right now, Gordon and I are one-two."
