Curator is making a batting wicket. . We are doomed for sure

 

All you people who are taking it easy ll start crying once wi starts slogging from 1st over..

I think both Mohali and Mumbai pitch curators have lost their brain.

[Ranjha]

This will be Indians toughest game so far with only Nz being superior than windies.

[sourab10forever]

Lendle simmions is back in place of Fletcher. This could be a huge development for WI given the number of matches he has played at Wankhade .

India is doomed

BTW where is DR.smith? 

So many guys are missing from WI lineup. Keemar roach? Rampaul?

If Pollard Smith and Sunil narain are back then this team would be else where.

My WI XI

Simmons

Gayle

Flecther

M.Samules

Bravo

Russell

Pollard

Sammy(c)

Ramdin(wk)

Sunil N

Keemar roach/Jerome Taylor

9 guys can bat and atleast 8 guys can bowl. Some good fielders as well. Gun team.

 

Perfect Finishers . 3 spinners and rest pacers.

[sourab10forever]

Simmons,Samules and Flecther can play the slow game. Rest everybody can slog.

@sourab10forever if it is possible, can you add pre-match discussion to the title .... so may be we can consolidate the discussion and have fewer threads to keep a track of

what you guys smoking lately? It will be easy win for India. Afghanistan just beat them and it seems like WI is not interested in winning either. You can not underestimate indian batsman. They are out of form but not out of game yet. Dhawan and rohit can smack this WI military medium pace bowlers around. Their spin bowling is good but small ground makes it easy target. It is not easy to hit against bumrah and jadeja. Pandya can be easy target for them. Chaha nehra can be really effective with exp and yorkers. 

[bowl_out]

Bowl first.. Strangle WI with 3 spinners (Ashwin, Jadeja, Negi)... Chase a modest 145

[zen]

WI will probably go all out .... Our bowling has to save us 

[Laaloo]

Pakis have already said West Indies will lay down for India because of IPL Contracts so since the padosis are always right, we got this one in the bag.

Whats the news on UV?

We should have the news by evening.

Remember Panday  is still not in squad..just like bhuvi. They are just back-ups. So if they want to play him,then I think they have to make an announcement nice and early.

Gayle accepting that they are the underdogs and that India are the favs makes me more sacred.

He says that he backs WI to cause an upset and that they have nothing to loose

We are dooooooooomed

Gayle can say whatever. He is a blow hot one day, blow cold another day player. The thing is if it clicks for Gayle and he makes a century, then it is "one of those rare days" and no kohli no anyone can do anything on that day. Whether he clicks or not, even he wont know. Somehow Bhuvneshwar Kumar used to trouble Gayle.

But the fact that WI play fearless cricket is there strength. And if they say that they have nothing to loose, it is clear that they'll play some fearless cricket. And if they do, on a wicket like Wankhade ...we might be in for a nightmare. Only chance for us is on a decent turner. WI too have some good spinners and slow ball bowlers but then at least our batting can match Gayle and co's.

[Mariyam]

I think we've already won this. The West Indies players are busy living the good life and socializing.

 

 

 

[CommonMan]

WI coming off a loss against Afg are more dangerous than complacent India coming off a win against Aus

 

Win predictor Ind 40% - WI - 60 %

In SF and F (if we reach there), Ind would be facing two inform batting line ups .... It could be hard for Pandya, Raina, etc. to contain. A couple of bad overs = 50 runs. Ind should go with its best 5 bowlers and then pick the best 6 in-form batsmen from the squad

[zubinpepsi]

Dont think we can win against WI & Eng. they are in such great form we are nowhere near them. It would take hell a lot to beat them. I don't think our team is up for it atm.

[bowl_out]

That's what we said after the NZ loss too... Think positive!!
