Really looking forward to this game and the England/ Bangladesh game. Will go a long way to deciding the outcome of this group.

Want the underdogs to win of course, though have a feeling that neither of them will.

So what's this pitch like?

Massive burden on the shoulders of Roach. He'll be the key in the bowling attack as usual. I think Sammy will be largely useless again

West Indies to win this one comfortably. They have a point to prove they went some way to doing it against Bangladesh but I don't think they will take their foot off the gas here plus they have a lot of respect for the Irish coach Phil Simmons.

I agree that Sammy is generally useless, but in the match against Bangladesh, he did take four wickets....
:)
And I don't think Benn should be counted out.

Only way we'll win this is if D_F reroutes the W.I team bus. Imagine if we'd have beaten Bangladesh now :(

Would be great for the tournament if the Micks get up. Can't quite see it, especially if Johnston is broken, but hope springs eternal.

Joyce due a score, tbf.

Wasn't it three? But yeah, I should have corrected my statement in that I don't think he'll flourish like he did against the hapless Bangladeshi batsmen.

Yeah Benn was getting some really nice dip in the previous game actually.

No Gayle is huge. Ireland really do have a chance. The longer Smith is at the crease the better also.
