No doubt about it. The West Indies bowling attack has improved significantly in the past year.

WEST INDIES BOWLERS ARE TAKING WICKETS.

Rampaul, Russel, Martin, Bishoo, Sammy, Benn, etc, etc----they have all improved the past year and are taking wickets.

On the other hand the WI batting has declined.

LETS SEE IF THE WI BATTING CAN SCORE 252 FOR A WIN IN GAME 5 AT SABINA.

I'm sure you know I was being sarcastic when I asked "who needs Gayle and Chanderpaul " ?

Barath looked out of touch(17 runs off 46 balls) and Simmons was due for a poor outing.

WI 61/2 after 18 overs.

The next West Indies great Darren Bravo(one day average 31.14) is at the wicket.

WI NEEDS 192 FROM 32 OVERS

The great marlon Samuels(oneday average 29.66) is yet to bat.

Who needs Gayle(odi avg 39+) and Shiv(odi avg 41+) ?

THE TALENTED STAR DARREN BRAVO JUST DROPPED
Raina to Bravo, 1 run, dropped India can't hold on to anything at the moment, goes back to run it down to third man, in to Parthiv's gloves and out of them, tough chance though
Let's see if Bravo will capitalize on his chance.

WI 77/2

Sars 37*

Bravo 9*


WI needs 175 off 27 overs.

THE COACH(GIBSON) NEEDS TO BE WHACKED!

He discarded Shiv and now doesn't want Gayle on the team.


RE: SARWAN

The coach doesn't want him also---but he is hanging in there and scoring runs.

These are Sarwan's one day scores against Pakistan and India:
28, 56, 56, 28, 1, 50*(still batting)

Who was it lately calling for Sarwan to get dropped? :lol: Sarwan is the leading run scorer for WI in series.

The sooner Gibbo goes the better for WI cricket.

Had Gayle and Shiv played along with Sarwan the West Indies would have won the oneday series against both Pakistan and India.

WI 142/2

sars 68*

bravo 36*

WI NEEDS 110 RUNS OFF 96 BALLS

They can do it---lets see how this plays out.
