West Indies tour of Australia, November-December 2009

[mattfb]

We will win at Adelaide because quite simply we can score 500. Perth will be alright if they make it quick and bouncy. Edwards vs Ponting on a quick and bouncy pitch . This will be a decent series I reckon.

Who's to say Clark can come back as the same bowler he was before getting injured.

I think this series will be more evenly contested then the Pak-Aus series later on during the year. And I really hope the West Indies play to thier full pontential.

1.Barath
2.Gayle
3.Sarwan
4.Nash
5.Chanderpaul
6.Bravo
7.Ramdin
8.Taylor
9.Benn
10.Edwards
11.Roach

That team looks fairly solid. Three quick bowlers, a decent left-arm spinner. And a very cunning medium pacer in Bravo.

^ I doubt the WICB will give Roach a go, even with his amazing performance recently. They are too committed to Baker.

Didn't they drop Baker for Rampaul for this series?

Huh, why's that. If the West Indies send there top team over I'd back them to win one test (Probably asking a bit much though). Although if they sent over that C team it would be the biggest joke ever. I very much doubt they'll do that though.

The West Indies are capable of pulling out fantastic games once and a while. Look what happened in the 1st test against England. They also won a test match against South Africa in SA a couple of years ago. I wouldn't write them off.

I am actually. I really enjoy watching them play. With players like Chanderpaul, Bravo, Gayle, Taylor and Edwards no team should write them off as easy beats. A devastating spell of bowling from a Edwards or Taylor and the Windies could very well when a test.

[Hooper]

Lol, no chance mate.

Australia are going to be ruthless a la after the '05 defeat and smash the weed toking Windies.

(Hopefully, but due to our selectors I am doubting it)
