Rally round the West Indies.

That calypso tune only sounds right when David Rudder sings it....

Seriously though, I hope the Windies rest key players for this match, because playing a half-fit Gayle or a recovering Roach against India is not going to win the match, and that duo need to be fully fit for the quarterfinals, whoever we end up playing. This would be my XI, as a result:

1) Shiv Chanderpaul
2) Devon Smith
3) Darren Bravo
4) Ramnaresh Sarwan
5) Kieron Pollard
6) Kirk Edwards
7) Darren Sammy
8) Andre Russell
9) Devon Thomas
10) Suleimann Benn
11) Dev Bishoo

 

[Shri]

Have a feeling that Russell is going to tear us a new one tomorrow, assuming Roach is rested. Roach to rip us up if he plays.

 

[vcs]

I just hope no one falls for that "looking like pulling out of the delivery stride and then bowling anyway" **** that he tries to pull. Terribly annoying. Why does such a talented cricketer have to try crap like that?

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

Windies might play this game more freely now that they are through.

India need to bat first and score big...if Windies bat first and Gayle helps them get a big total we will be under pressure facing Roach.

 

[Shri]

Sehwag might not play the WI game.

 

[IndiaLose]

I suggest India lose this match. Otherwise they will play against Australia in the quarter finals. We all know what the result will be.

Please Dhoni & team lose your next match so that you can play Sri Lanka. You have better chances to win that match than playing against Australia.

you still think same?

 

[Furball]

Haha, for the Windies' NRR to drop below Bangladesh's and be eliminated, they'd have to lose by a margain of 770 runs.

All West Indies have to do is win the toss and bat first and they've qualified.

 

[Shri]

WI just need to catch the team bus on time and turn up to qualify in other words.

 

[Furball]

Pretty much.

Whoever wins this match will end up playing Australia, so I want the Windies to lose too....
