It ain't that easy boyHey, tired or not, you still have a good chance at another whitewash
I have some good bowlers too but nightmare will be a toss lottery, especially in ODIMalcolm Marshall on a nightmare pitch? Are you okay?

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. West Indies will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said West Indies proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Extremely disappointed with the result! A highly skilled top order failed miserably on this pitch! Also, Courtney Walsh going for so many runs was disappointing!
Congrats on the win [MENTION=138836]WC-Passion[/MENTION] this should give u some confidence
