West Indies vs England | 1st ODI| North Sound| 28/02/2014

[Kianig89]

Toss coming up both sides have played like minnows in recent past so lets see which of two is worst, Eng have a standing captain Broad with his T20 brigade, WI without Gayle lets see toss in shortly

Cricinfo says Moeen to debut

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good luck to Moeen and micheal lumb, these slow low wickets in W.I are pretty hard to bat one, alot of new faces in england ODI team over recent times so a chance for alot of players to establish themselves here.

 

[Saeed]

Lol Joe root opening with bowl.

 

[Kianig89]

Look at the all rounders WI have in their XI, D Smith Sammy etc, Hafeez n Afridi looks Botham n Imran as compare to them

baffling that they dont play Andre Russell

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I team is full of cow lashers and Bits and pieces players, the only format they are suited to are T20s now and then in ODIS they will be competative. This is a good chance for england to win this ODI series.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Root opening bowling for england, interesting move, broad sharing the new ball here..

W.I 2/0

 

[Kianig89]

Why NIkita MIller why not Badree strange selections by the Calypso

:4 by smith, 17/0 after 3.

Where the hell is Chris Gayle. He seems to be absent from all the International Cricket series due to injuries but gets fit on time before the start of every IPL.

 

[Kianig89]

Meanwhile Paul Collingwood has named as sub fielder for Eng because of injuries he is on tour as assistant fielding coach

 

[Kianig89]

Where the hell is Chris Gayle. He seems to be absent from all the International Cricket series due to injuries but gets fit on time before the start of every IPL.

I guess he has no motivation left for the WI

 

[Saeed]

Where the hell is Chris Gayle. He seems to be absent from all the International Cricket series due to injuries but gets fit on time before the start of every IPL.
