T20 Warm-up: West Indies vs Australia at Kolkata

If DownUnda and The Captain's predictions turn out to be true, this warm-up match could be a preview of the World Cup final.

Warm-up matches aren't the be-all and end-all, though getting momentum on your side (as England did in 2010) can go a long way to a successful tournament.

Curtly is expecting big things:

Quote:"Look at the team that we have, half of the team are in demand across the world for different T20 leagues. So you may find one guy here, maybe two in this league and two in another league but we have all at once so we have a great chance of winning this T20 tournament, just look at our squad. The senior players - Marlon Samuel, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, captain Darren Sammy and all the senior players have to lead from the front. From my experience over the years, when the senior players - the guys that we expect to really take the mantle and take the team forward - are doing well, automatically the younger players will step up to the plate"

A preview of the final match, you say?
I am looking forward to this too the, but I don't think WI are strong enough to reach this year's final but let's see, anything can happen in a Twenty20 tournament.

P.S- Are warm matches being shown on TV?

Andrew Tye to the final over for Australia as West Indies need 4 runs from 4 balls

Windies win thriller. Relatively unsung but as Aus discovered, perilous to take them lightly. Don't forget not long back were no.1 T20 side

West Indies won by 3 wickets (with 1 ball remaining) ..

[size=1em]CR Brathwaite c Maxwell b Tye 33 (17m 14b 3x4 2x6)[size=11pt] SR: 235.71 ..

AD Russell c Finch b Tye 29 (19m 15b 1x4 3x6)         SR:193.33

This is what blows away the plan  8)
