Botha should have probably came in for O'Brien ver II, he would be best to launch at the end. Mooney's crap.

's, they'll clearly call it "The Second Great Windies Epoch".All power to the all-conquering juggernaut.

Ireland bowled really well today and the 17 year old spinner bowled beautifully. The pitch in Guyana was disappointing though and hopefully some of the other pitches will have some more pace on them than this one did.

Had enough pace in them when Kemar Roach was bowling
.Delighted with the bowling and fielding performance though. Just needed a bit more luck to get through the opening spell. After losing such important batsmen in the first couple of overs it's always going to be difficult.

Possibly....Didn't Andre take catches and stump players with he kept wicket when we played Ireland in the warm up matches recently?he's ok with the gloves imo, and he can still improve, Ramdin seems to have lost all confidence with the bat and i think it's time to give Fletcher an extended period with the gloves, not just one game here and there, lets give him three or four games to see what he can really do behind the stumps, i believe his batting will improve with more experience too.
Let's see if he's given the gloves for this match. Personally, I would feel nervous watching Fletcher keep wicket today, but we can only see if Gibson feels confident enough in Fletcher's ability. I don't....
Last year, I was full of confidence that WI would beat England, and I made some money on that match from paddy Power, who saw things differently.
Today, I don't feel so confident. As Viv Richards said, the England selectors seem to have a better understanding of 20/20 cricket, and have selected a squad that should play this format much better. I do think England have a good chance of going all the way. The only player I think England will miss is Owais Shah. These pitches require batsmen who can play spin, and IMHO Shah would've been useful.
Good to see that both Gayle and Taylor are fit....

Stuck some money on WI today, we are slight favourites with the bookies. Would have had Windies slight favourites myself.

Because you insisted on dropping every catchable opportunity he gave you...Given that Bopara always makes runs against us, and that he has hit a few good scores recently, I will be happy if he's omitted....
