CAN #5 RANKED WEST INDIES UPSET #3 INDIA ?

OK Folks!

[size=14pt]The upcoming test series will pit #5 ranked West Indies against #3 ranked India ?[/size]

INDIA WILL START OUT AS FAVORITES.

But can the West Indies, who have won 6 consecutive tests, pull off a shocker ?


RE: WI BATSMEN

Let's check out their stats over the last 3 years----since Jan 2011:

73.62---Shiv
57.87---Gayle
53.71---Samuels
49.10---Ramdin
42.41---Bravo


Clearly the batting is in good shape.


NOW THE WI BOWLING IN THE PAST 3 YEARS.

ROACH---49 wkts @27.32 avg

SHILLINGFORD ---34 wkts @20.70

BEST---20 wkts @20.78

SAMMY 48----wkts @36.52


NOT BAD AT ALL!

[size=12pt]India is the clear favorite---but the WI boys have been in good form in the past 3 years---and who knows---they may pull off a shocker.[/size]


What do you folks say ?

rally around west indies

I say the Seamers will have to bend their backs more to generate Pace !

Dust Bowls can cause injuries which Cotterel appear to be prone !

Roach can try but he is also injury prone.

That leave Shilly , Samuels and Gayle to SPIN.

I see a BrownWash !

Look here Rev, there is only ONE reason WI was called up to play this short series of games. 


To send off Tendy on a high note!!!

why you think Ramps and Narine are not in the team??

Are you saying the FIX is in---the #5 ranked West Indies will be blown away by the #3 ranked India----and the great Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar will be allowed to make his final test hundred ? ;D

You don't believe the West Indies can draw at least one of the 2 tests ?

Remember, the WI have won 6 tests in a row---they are on a roll. ;D
