[vaibhav mehta]

Thanks for Creating.
i am ready to win this...
Glad to see Pollard and Sammy there.

 

[Dare]

don't know if I should take Edwards or Powell. I have not chosen any spinners as my main bowlers.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya I think Sammy will play in most of Matches.And He will be my first choice after J Taylor.

 

[Abhas]

ya, even i have included sammy...

 

[vaibhav mehta]

hmm.>Abhy going good ha???..lol..

 

[Abhas]

Lol.. please predict something good

 

[ZexyZahid]

The teams aren't that predictable for me, so I'll have to take some risks.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Actually I am also not sure who gonna play from WI side?
Because WI will go with rotation of spiners.though Sammy will be my first choice but they will replace him with S Benn if anything goes wrong.So better to avoid them Both.
Just looking on the Venues and neither of them are best for spin so..

 

[Dare]

i doubt that Sammy will play in the ODIs, his spot will probably be taken up by a batsman and WI will go with Taylor, Edwards and Powell as their pace options.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Well Its better to take risk with Sammy or S Benn because Taylor is unavoidable pick for everyone where powell and Edwards are always a big Risk.

 

[Dare]

I would go with Edwards and Powell over Sammy, both have played better in ODIs. Edwards somewhat better than Taylor, Edwards picked up 18 wickets/average 18 and Powell 26 wickets/average 28.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Edwards better than Taylor for FC.
I don't know about past records but Taylor will be more benificial by current performance.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Cricinfo predicted that Chattergoon would play and I selected him, but now I see Devon Smith is playing. Also Amerasinghe wasn't expected to play according to cricinfo and I actually changed Amerasinghe into Chattergoon yesterday. :

Also Benn and Sammy weren't expected to play, but they're playing. Powell isn't playing though.
