India vs Windies | We have forced people to change their perception about us, asserts Ashley Nurse
Ashley Nurse has claimed that before the ODI series against the home side India began, nobody gave the visiting Windies team a chance against the loaded Indian side but they have already managed to change that perception. Windies recently won the third ODI of the series by 43 runs.
