3-0, matches over in 3 days and Ponting & MHussey scoring 3 centuries. MJ to take 20 wickets in series. Thats my predictions.

Why does everyone badly underrate the Windies?

Is this West Indies with good players or without?

What happened when they toured with more strong squad last time.

Hopefully the contracts will be sorted by then, so we should be seeing Gayle, Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Bravo, Edwards, etc.

Skater added 1 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

This isn't going to be a team struggling with the cold and wishing they were at the IPL.

Well Aussies will have to take out the anger of loosing Ashes and then ODI series to India.

hMarka · 18th July 2009, 06:04 PM

Windies stand no chance, Pakistan also stand no chance. This should be a shellacking.

If these things happen I'll be happy for the Aussies to thrash them.

Ill want at least 10 years of that before I start feeling sorry for them.

Because they are crap tbh. They are a team of a few stars with pretty average support. I think you over rate them as a team. Especially a Test team. Especially on the road.

Howsie · 19th July 2009, 11:52 AM

The West Indies are far from crap Hoops. They might not be the most consistant team going around, but they have some very talented players.

Edwards
Taylor
Roach

That fast bowling attack could quite easily match the aussie's attack.

Lol,

Taylor, Edwards, Roach vs Lee, Clark, Johnson (not the Johnson of this series)

No chance in hell.

As I said, they are crap. Bar the world class players such as Gayle, Chanderpaul and you could chuck in Sarwan and Bravo, the team is pretty ordinary. You wouldn't expect them to challenge Australia to much when they tour here.

What about the Edward's of the last 6-12 months, he has been very impressive.

Stuart Clark. He can't even make the aussie team at the moment.

I guess we will have to wait and see, but I'm picking them to perform fairly well.

Hooper · 19th July 2009, 02:58 PM

Edwards form has been good, his stats are looking nice.

Clark can't make it in because of his elbow injury and the fact that the selectors drool over Johnson and Hilfenhaus.

Australia will win this series easily, especially if they lose the Ashes. Remember how ruthless we were after losing the last time? 16 straight Test wins wasn't it?
