A lousy win for WI

After dominating with the ball, the WI batsmen proceed to lose the game.

If it weren't for Sammy, the game would not have been saved.

Simmons continues his form, our openers continue to be dire, Holder seems like he is a useful bat and Sammy cooks up another useful score (didnt he top the WI batting average lists for the recent India ODIs?) just when you think the time has come to drop him.

Dwayne Bravo cannot bat. He cannot bowl either.

Holder's improving nicely. He also seems to now be able to bowl yorkers on command.

Rampaul is far too fat. He has ballooned.

This win is due to NZ being drunk from Christmas partying. I dont find it convincing at all.

ODI averages:

Sammy 31 with bat 2012 as Cappo.
Bravo 23 with bat 2012 as not Cappo.
Bravo 21 with bat in 2013 as Cappo.
Sammy 45 with bat in 2013 as not Cappo.

It was a Drop In Pitch.

Neither Team batted well !


The drop-in pitch at Eden Park - grown in a huge metal tray and hauled to the centre on a custom-made giant trolley -

is a great example of smart heavy engineering going hand-in-hand with computer-based technologies.

All the Pundits were saying on the Drop In :

the XI with a fearless batting donkey and / or mule will WIN :

and we did  ::LOL::
