Round 1 fixtures

Australia C v West Indies B at Perth

- Pitch expected to favor fast bowlers. Won't be easy to bat on.
- Players unavailable: none

West Indies A v New Zealand at Jamaica

- Conditions very much in favor of bowlers, although batsman capable of digging deep might have a chance.
- Players unavailable: none

South Africa A v Pakistan at Johannesburg

- Pitch expected to be very good to bat on. Expect big first innings totals.
- Players unavailable: none

Australia B v India at The SCG

- Offers a bit of turn but not all that good for spinners this time. Bowlers capable of swinging it might still have a chance.
- Players unavailable: none

Australia A v Legends XI at The MCG

- Green top, thus not much in it for spinners. Batsmen aren't going to have it all that easy either.
- Players unavailable: none

West Indies C v South Africa B at Trinidad

- Something in it for the spinners. Batsmen can be expected to score big.
- Players unavailable: none

By the way, just noticed that all the asian nations had their games drawn.

Yep. That's what usually happens on flat tracks.

Same XI for us. I see no reason to change the team which did so well in the warm up. I am yet to see the scorecard...

 

[Samuels]

Whoa ho ho! Look what do we have here? Sabina Park! Four guys who can bowl 145 clicks and the other with the most lethal slower bowl in the history of the sport. Perfect combination.
