West Indies, who chose to bat

 

[MenInG]

Wow love to see some power hitting in this one but Gayle, Pollard, Samuels and Rampaul will not play for West Indies in today's warm up match

 

[MenInG]

Attention - Both Bravos on deck!

153/3 in 30 overs

Both these games showing lot of batting power - in contrast Pakistan have really struggled with the bat!

 

[Warrior868]

Windies Batting 256-9 off 50 overs:
Smith 7, Charles 55, Darren Bravo 86, Sarwan 22, Dwayne Bravo 20, Ramdin 25, Sammy 14, Holder 4, Narine 3, Roach 7*, Best 3*

Australia 17-2 Warner, Hughes out.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 205 runs with 8 wickets and 40.0 overs remaining

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies should win this

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia require another 182 runs with 7 wickets and 35.0 overs remaining

 

[WebGuru]

Watson seems to be in good form.

 

[Anfield]

100/3 in 20 overs..

 

[vandokkum]

Watson on his way to a quick fire hundred, if Australia fail to beat West Indies then their chances of winning CT is pretty much zero.

Watson playing at 128 in 94 balls

 

[vandokkum]

What an innings by watson, he is easily one of the top odi players around. Better batsman than gayle and better bowler than Anderson.

^^^ don't get ahead of yourself. Watson imo is a better international bat then gayle but nowhere near as good as anderson bowling wise

What... Anderson is just a decent odi bowler, Watson is a better odi bowler, check their stats. Anderson in odi's is an average bowler outside England.

Never count out Aus.

They are still a dangerous side.

West Indies should be disappointed if they fail in this tournament. They have everything to win it all.

Starc owns Windies.

LOL. all that WI have is bits and pieces T20 cricketers, nothing else. their bowling is quite decent though.

Gayle, Pollard, Bravo are all match winners. They can take the game away from your team in a span of 3 overs.

Charles, Sarwan are pretty good too.

Windies managed to score 270 runs without Gayle and Pollard.

Exactly, batting lineup full of sloggers and mediocre bowlers other than Narine and Roach.

) Please let us know how many odi series WI have won in last few years against teams other than Zimbabwe.... hell they even lost against Bangladesh recently. All they are good for is slogfest t20s. WI are horribly overrated.

 

[mithun_minhas]

SO if anything, Windies bowling is atrocious.

They posted a good 270 on board.

Aus chased it in 38 overs. What an embarrassment.

If anything, West Indies are under achievers with this current unit. They should at least be as good as Aus or NZL.
