I would honestly drop Dillon and bring in someone else. And I would certainly use Dwayne Smith's very effective Medium-Fast Swing bowling a lot more than just a few overs like on Sunday.....

West Indies 163 all out (42.4 ov) (Rampaul 24, Smith 24) (Pollock 4/26, Kallis 2/21)

West Indies 10th Wicket partnership lasted 37 runs, highest partnership of an Inning

 

[killa_stiky2002]

Plenty of time to make the 16 runs...once again...dissapointed......

 

[Sadistic_Shyte]

Yeah, all they needed to do was keep a few wickets in hand.

 

[Rangeela]

I almost thought Windies would pull the victory.. all they needed were some good partnetships from top orders batsman

 

[killa_stiky2002]

yup... Rampaul seems to be a very good tail ender..we need one few more fast bowlers who can bat. We've got Smith and Rampaul, Drakes and Dillon but I think we need one more (me)

It really wasn't his fault. His dismissal seems to be a replay of a number of C&B's Zulu has gotten in his career.

 

[Rangeela]

Rampaul played well plus its not tailenders job to score runs thats why we have batsman. I understand there are lot of new faces coming up and which is good and will take time to built up their confidence.
plus The pitch was really good for the bowlers also. There were lot of swing.

 

[killa_stiky2002]

Yeah. The conditions were horrible
