[Gotham Cronie]

Both teams were battered in their first warm-up.

Can they change things around before the lights of the big stage turn on?

What's the point of Dwayne Bravo? He's just like Sammy.

What's the point of Dwayne Bravo? He's just like Sammy.

He is certainly a better bowler.

END OF INNINGS! Warm-up #SLvWI WI 297/6 (50 Ov). Pollard 29, Rampaul 1. West Indies set Sri Lanka a total 298 to win the final warm-up.

 

[Warrior868]

WI: C Gayle 22, J Charles 58, DM Bravo 71, M Samuels 18, R Sarwan 55, K pollard 29*, DJ Bravo 12, R Ramdin 1, S Narine 5, R Rampaul 1*.

 

[ads101]

He is certainly a better bowler.

Only one of Pollard, Bravo and Sammy should be playing really. Only need one all rounder. In fact might not even need that given there's quite a few including Gayle who can bowl a bit.

Pollard's arguably a better bowler statswise than Bravo too (as well as better than Sammy).

Their best line up would be something like

1. Gayle
2. Charles
3. DM Bravo
4. Samuels
5. Sarwan
6. Pollard
7. Russell
8. Ramdin
9. Roach
10. Rampaul
11. Narine

And wouldn't include either Sammy or Dwayne Bravo.

 

[Executioner]

WI team is full of bits and pieces player. ODI cricket is a very tough format. You need to be able to score big runs without losing wickets, thats why you need the likes of sarwan and chanders.
