VOTE : Will Sammy and squad

hahahahahahahahaha!!!

If that actually happens, I will have the best laugh of the year!

That way , he has NO run chase to craft   

West Indies have a slight advantage in that they have already played one match in Mumbai (against England) and so will have a feel for the pitch. One thing that I think we can expect is plenty of runs. This has been the best batting pitch the entire tournament.

while WI have played one match in Mumbai, i suspect the Indian players are little bit more familiar with that pitch!  ::LOL::

Not really Googs : Only the IPL squad from Mumbai :

Pollard  absent and Simmons just arrive : Bravo and Gayle played a lot here as well.

only Rohit ,HarDik and Bumrah from their squad

So its not as lopsided as it appears 

India have played just 1 international match at Mumbai in the last 2 years - the ODI against South Africa where they were obliterated.

As far as the IPL goes, last year, Rohit Sharma played 8 matches here for Mumbai. All other Indian players played here just once, except for Dhoni, Nehra, Jadeja and Ashwin who played here twice. Those matches took place a year ago. A long time ago.

West Indies have the most recent experience with the way this pitch has been prepared. I think that counts as an advantage.

and Ashwin had a lousy last Game: Kohli bailed dem out .

Gayle vs Ashwin duel being touted !

West Indies would hope Simmons comes good and utilises his IPL experience -

where he opens for Mumbai Indians - in a positive way

200 to chase

Uncle Phil should post up this scorecard in the dressing room  :
