Looks like Sunday could be a good day for me then as I'm going to watch!

Hopefully see the back end of the England innings, and then see us rip out the Windies for next to nothing

Looks like you're going to have a great day, although Windies do have a mystry spinner in Shillingford, and we all know what happened when England last faced one of those!

[wilkie113]

That's a very good point! lol.

Hopefully we have got over that, and on our own tracks we will be able to play him properly!

[charlie15]

True, and from what I've seen the wicket isn't doing much either.

[wilkie113]

That's alright then! I was looking forward to seeing Tino steaming in if I'm honest though lol

[charlie15]

I was quite disappointed to see that he isn't playing!

Shillingford is just normal offspin bowler, Narine is the mystery spinner

My club have organised a load of us to go, there's 30 of us all together, we had a chant sorted for him and everything!

[charlie15]

See if you can get KP fined instead!

Anybody else think that despite his knock today and the Windies missing many players, Darren Sammy shouldnt be in the side? A below par bowler at best.

A far better attack would be Edwards, Shillingford, Rampaul and Roach, Sammy isnt a wicket taker and doesnt really contain.

This is definitely not a case of the Aussie method of the captian being picked from the best 11 players

Without  Sammy in the side, would the WI team play as well as they do with him there?

He took ten-fer against Australia in the WI, admittedly on a spinning wicket. Looked a decent bowler.

Sammy himself probably isn't good enough to merit a place in the team, however his ability to unite the team more than makes up for his limited talent. I feel sorry for the West Indies, the personal rivalries amongst the team combined with the lure of the IPL means the talent they do have is being wasted.
