ODI Tri-Series (Malaysia)

What a collapse. Clarke goes, Haddin and now Bracken. We still have 2 overs left, could well have been 300 had Clarke or Haddin stayed in.

i hardly think thats going to affect the outcome

I agree, I'd always back the Windies to chase well against this inexperienced attack.

Not if our new found late hitter in Johnson keeps doing what hes doing. 15 off 7 balls with a 4 and a 6.

didnt last long :*(

McGrath is there, him and Bracken will be more than enough with Johnson able to attack like Lee usually would and Cullen has shown he can keep it tight. Will be tough for the Windies to chase down.

all over australia 279/9 50 overs. its going to be hard but you never know

McGrath is obviously a given. However, Gayle will go after Bracken which I think he'll struggle with. As he normally keeps it on a line if I remember correctly. I'd have doubts over Watson as well, although you may be OK if it turns and Clarke can bowl a few. It's not over yet though. 20 Overs of Chris Gayle could determine this match.

I think the West Indies have a good show here, The pitch seems nice and their strength is in their batting.

The Aussie attack is a little bit weaker than usual. Apart from McGrath of course.

Gayle, Lara, Sarwan and Chanderpaul are all fantastic batsmen.

Yea thats true, always depends on Gayle. In saying that Bracken has this knack of picking up wickets as does Watson. People think they can smash Watson out of the park but instead fall short and he picks up a bag of wickets.
Anyway will be good to see how the bowlers go.

Strange to see so many lefthanders batting against so many left handed bowlers as well.

Gayle, Hinds, Lara, Chanderpaul - Bracken, Johnson, Clarke.

if Gayle clicks and lara chanderpaul sarwan play good and also dont forget bravo he is a good batsmen, we will have a good game. even though i think it will be good dont underestimate west indies they did beat india recently

I think Wickets in hand are the key. They can afford to chase 150 off the last 20 if they still have Bravo, Smith and Baugh to come in.

 

[zub2005]

wooo 150 off the last 20 that is hard but you never know

 

[rickyp]

johnson finished very well, good work by him, despite a collapse we still managed to stay on track and get what we probably would have got if we had top order still in... top job tail enders.

It should be interesting watching our 2nd string bowlers perform, im looking forward to the return of glenn aswell

 

[zub2005]

hope glenn mcgrath has a good game like him plus i picked him in my fantasy team dropped lee for him as lee was not playing
