After these 2  Warm up in 18 hours : I will confirm

this is the prediction thread no wise ass comments

Final  New Zealand versus Bangladesh            winner : Bangladesh

I predict an India vs Australia final in which India barely wins thanks to Kohli. If Australia win, it will be thanks to Maxwell.

I predict WI will be horribly embarassed in this World Cup.

I predict Gayle will fail in this World Cup.

I predict Samuels will do absolute crap. I think he is on this team solely because of his innings in that T20 WC final in which the WI won the cup. That innings was a fluke; Sri Lanka threw away an easy win. In the subsequent T20 world cup, Samuels singlehandedly cost us at least 3 games.

I predict Johnson Charles crossing 50 only once.

I predict that Ramdin and Fletcher will bat better than the "stars".

I predict Holder being a lone hero with the bat in 2 losing games.

I predict Taylor doing absolute nonsense with the ball.

I think WI should:

1. drop Marlon Samuels (eats too many balls)
2. Drop Taylor (cant bowl in T20s)
3. Drop Holder UNLESS you play him as a top order batsman
4. REPLACE Benn with another spinner
5. Play at least 2 dedicated spinners
6. Camouflage Narine and sneak him back onto the team.

Thus spake, Trinidaddy.

How close in resemblance is Badree to Sunil  :-\

Nobody knows where Badree is.

It was our bowling that won us a T20 WC. Our bowlers then were Rampaul (fat but excellent at getting early wickets), Narine, Badree and Fidel. Andre, Pollard and Bravo were our all rounders. That's an excellent mix of specialists and clowns.

But our bowling sucks now. Only Dwayne Bravo will cause problems for batsmen. Vs big teams, the rest will leak runs badly and the captain will be forced to turn to Gayle and Samuels to bowl (ie pelt) "emergency" overs.
