West Indies v England | 4th ODI | Bridgetown | 29/3/09

[On_the_up]

With the threat of the WI boycotting the 5th ODI, this could be the last one of the series. England have been shockingly bad in this series, and will be a real surprise if they turn it around in this match. I hope WI bat first in this match, might be the only way of match going the distance.

Likely teams according to Cricinfo:

West Indies (possible) 1 Chris Gayle (capt), 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Darren Sammy, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Lionel Baker, 10 Nikita Miller, 11 Fidel Edwards.

England (possible) 1 Ravi Bopara, 2 Andrew Strauss (capt), 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Owais Shah, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Andrew Flintoff, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Gareth Batty, 11 James Anderson.

Is Adil Rashid in the ODI squad? if so why don't they give him a go, nothing to loose.

I sincerely hope England perform well as their recent performances a of late have been shocking and disgraceful to be honest. I think the passion and determination and to certain extent the loyalties of the players needs to be questioned. I dont see how an international side can perform so poor consistently. But W.Indies deserve every credit as they've played some fantastic cricket.

And yes i think Adil Rahsid is in the squad and i too would love to see him play. The guys seems like an exciting prospect and especially since the team hasnt been performing well its very confusing as too why we havnt seen some new talent being tried out.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

well i personally would like to see chanderpaul score another hundred.

and also jealous crybaby-terson to fail with the bat again.
