Gayle wary of using pace against India

[Andy]

"We can use the short ball but at the same time we have to be careful because it (the Kensington Oval) is a small ground and they have quality batters who can make adjustments. But it's certainly something we will put into our plans," Gayle said. Indians were handed a 49-run drubbing by Australia yesterday with pacers Dirk Nannes and Shaun Tait sharing six wickets between them. The same day, West Indies also succumbed to a loss as they went down by 57 runs against Sri Lanka and Gayle said his team would have to improve considerably to remain in the hunt for semifinals. "We'll discuss what happened and it's back to the drawing board. It's a must-win for both teams and it should be a good game," Gayle said. "We are still confident we can win the two games and move onto the semi-final," the opener asserted. "It's a disappointing start but we had our chances and we let it slip away. We can't take away the fact they batted really well but those missed chances hurt us," he said. http://www.espnstar.com/cricket/icc-world-t20/news/detail/item437023/Gayle-wary-of-using-pace-against-India/

just like clarke was wary of indian spinner ?

Other than Roach who do Windies have? Taylor is coming off an injury, Bravo, Sammy, Rampaul aren't in the same class. They will miss Edwards for sure. But irrespective of whom they play, lets go there and give our best. There is enough quality in this team for them to win the cup.

Jerome Taylor is a class bowler. We underestimate him at our own peril.

More than anyhtng, Bravo's knock did us in. IIRC, WI needed 50 in last 5 overs and then Ishant and Zak bowled crap with Bravo hitting so many 6s and 4s to win it for Windies.

It was the Windies that exposed us in front of the world. Lets see how we respond this time.
