WI's World Cup bowling attack

Badree and Benn have been doing well.

Darren Bravo has enough tricks to unnerve batsmen and get fluke wickets.

These three bowlers give you 12 decent overs.

The problem is Carlos and Andre. They've been giving eight overs of total crap.

Why not give them only 2 overs each, and force Gayle, Samuels and Sammy to make up the rest? Switch up the bowlers more. We know Gayle has a knack of getting fluke wickets.

By giving these guys some overs, you also have the option of dropping Carlos for another dedicated batsman (assuming Carlos doesn't provide with the bat; he's usually a good slogger).

Yes, Russell and Brathwaite seems to be a both a problem in the bowling department, they are expensive but they will most likely capture a few wickets at the same time. We should note that the wickets a are biased towards spin, therefore, the spinners have a distinct advantage over the seamers. I would not be overly alarmed because the team has been able to perform very well so far.

Carlos took a wicket today : the most dangerous Dilshan, and bowled well vs England !

3.1 Brathwaite to Dilshan, OUT, and strikes first ball !! Full, angling into the pads, Dilshan aims through

the leg side but misses...

Unfortunately, Marlon is currently serving a 12-month ban from bowling due to an illegal action. He would have been really useful on these types of pitches.

I will be interested to see what team West Indies put out to face South Africa in Nagpur. Given the amount of spin we saw on offer there in the New Zealand/India match, I would have to imagine West Indies would go into the match with three spinners. Even more so given that Moeen Ali and Rashid were the only two England bowlers that were at least able to somewhat stem the tide against the blunt force trauma meted out by the South African batsman.

Gayle bowled 3 overs today, as desired, and picked up 2 big wickets.

Bravo clean bowled ABDV as well.

Gayle bowled his Offies due to 2  Lefties in the middle.

that was obviously pre planned !

Last bowled 2012.
