Would anyone care to have any guesses as to what the starting XI will look like for West Indies opening World Cup match against England?

There is NO way Gayle moving down the order !

Fletch formerly a duck farmer : seems to have put  it together.

Hold on til after Warwickshire ! 

Given that Johnson Charles wasn't named in the original squad, I imagine the initial plan was to have Gayle and Fletcher open the batting. I like Johnson Charles. I'd have him in my team.

It's good that the West Indies T20 squad is performing well in the warm-ups, however, what is really needed is that entire squad will come to the party when the T20 World Cup commences. Everyone should strive to be at their best, therefore, I hope that all the players will be working overtime to sharpen their skills and concentration level before the tournament commences.
