[Dare]

Easy one for the West Indies.

Hopefully Broad gets whacked for 36 runs in an over again, this time by Gayle.

 

[Mihir Doshi]

Come Ireland Go Go Go!!

 

[barmyarmy]

Even at home and with T20 specialists WI are still a poor team. Even Ireland might beat them.

 

[King Pietersen]

Easy one for the West Indies.

Didn't they just lose a T20 at home against Zimbabwe? Don't see them getting past England here. We're a far better side than the one that lost the T20 in the WI last winter. I see us taking the group fairly convincingly. Actually quite like this side, bar the inclusions of Bopara, Sidebottom and Shahzad. Really looking forward to seeing Kieswetter + Lumb opening together.

Without Gayle, Bravo, Taylor and Edwards. Tree of the four are back and should help the side allot. West Indies are a much better side then they were back then too, they were better in the summer as the semis in the 20/20 WC suggest.

Dare added 1 Minutes and 14 Seconds later...

Ireland are getting run over by Jamaica like its a school team playing a test nation.

 

[barmyarmy]

That's what Pakistan said.

 

[Dare]

That's what Pakistan said.

Well thats Pakistan for you.

 

[TheGreemSim]

Ireland and Windies I think. Windies only because they're at home and Ireland because I think England will go into the group overly confident.

 

[pcfan123]

Overconfident of what? Im sure the memories of losing to Netherlands are still fresh in the minds of the English players. No way will they lose again to an associate

 

[Dare]

Even Ireland might beat them.

O and as I said before West Indies are playing Ireland at the moment in Jamaica and have won every match even without Gayle, Bravo, Pollard and Jerome Taylor just played his first game since coming back.

 

[Paki007]

Can we expect an upset from IreLand ahhh i think it's possible when they'll play against WI

 

[War]

Hopefully England pick this XI:

Lumb
Bopara
Kieswetter
KP
Morgan
Collingwood
Wright
Swann
Bresnan
Broad
Anderson

Michael Yardy must not play!!

 

[pcfan123]

Kieswetter
KP
Morgan
Collingwood

That is such a sexy lineup, especially if Lumb can get a decent start in the powerplay.
