Preview: England v West Indies


After most weeks of rough matches in a joining phase, this will be a initial time a single of a tip 8 teams face a hazard of rejecting from a 2011 World Cup. If England destroy to kick West Indies in their final joining match, they will finish up upon usually 5 points, as good as since any of South Africa, India, West Indies as good as Bangladesh have 6 or some-more points, there will be no approach for England to validate for a quarter-finals.

England: They have had a strangest of tournaments, where any of their 5 matches has resulted in a tighten finish. Sometimes a finish competence have been as good tighten for a mental contentment of their fans. The bauble of their formula does not finish there – they have someway constructed to remove to Ireland as good as Bangladesh, whilst not you do so opposite India as good as South Africa. England’s categorical complaint via a World Cup has been which they haven’t had a diversion where they have finished good with both bat as good as ball. If a single dialect has succeeded, a alternative has let it down. The batsmen did good opposite Netherlands, India as good as Ireland, whilst a bowlers came to a celebration usually opposite South Africa. Against Bangladesh, conjunction a batters nor a bowlers did good via a innings.

Andrew Strauss as good as Andy Flower form amongst a some-more fast partnerships in universe cricket, yet someway their group has displayed perplexed meditative which is uncharacteristic of a captain-coach duo. Injuries have not helped England’s cause, yet since which they got behind their most appropriate ODI batsman in Eoin Morgan usually due to an injury, they cannot protest as good most either. What England need right away is a accordant bid from their full personification eleven to keep them alive in a World Cup. A teenager regard which they will goal doesn’t blow up in to a vital a single was a go through bug which Strauss as good as Swann contracted. Both, however, were approaching to be fit in time for a match.

West Indies: In an anti-thesis of what England have done, they have won sincerely absolutely opposite a minnows of Group B, yet been rolled over by South Africa. While England might have been knocked about by Ireland as good as Bangladesh, West Indies will be wakeful which it was during Chennai which England stopped a strong South Africans, as good as which upon a representation which affords turn, Graeme Swann will be lethal. West Indies have a firepower in Chris Gayle as good as Kieron Pollard, as good as a batting bent in Darren Bravo, to strike England’s bowlers. This has been a comparatively still contest for Gayle, whilst Pollard has been bomb as good as Bravo has looked high in patches.

Their bowling was a diseased integrate entrance in to a tournament, yet with Kemar Roach as good as Suleiman Benn entrance in to their own, which doesn’t demeanour as diseased anymore. The West Indies have not overwhelmed a heights of a 70s as good as early 80s in conditions of universe domination, as good as yet they aren’t anywhere tighten to you do so right away – underneath captain Darren Sammy a group seems to have acquired an additional covering of toughness joined with a extreme enterprise to do well. They have multiform game-changers in their ranks, who each antithesis in a universe has to be heedful of, as good as they will know which a win here will sign their quarter-finals berth. A detriment here could meant a potentially wily final compare with India, as good as West Indies will wish to equivocate a nerves which such a compare would entail.

Head to Head:

There isn’t most to apart a teams in altogether records, with West Indies carrying won 41 as good as England 37 of a 87 matches which they have played in (9 no results). Rather surprisingly, in World Cups, England have won 4 out of 5 matches which they have played opposite West Indies. England though, would have gladly exchanged those 4 victories for which a single compare – since a compare they mislaid to West Indies was a final of a 1979 World Cup.

Quotes:

“The as good as you have is you have a manager who only a year ago was operative with England, so he has inside sum as good as will be utterly helpful.” – Darren Sammy upon West Indies manager Otis Gibson, who outlayed some-more than 2 years as England’s bowling manager prior to receiving up his stream role.

“We have finished good in large matches over a final integrate of years. The equation is really elementary as good as this isn’t a time to go in to a shells.” – Andrew Strauss keeps it elementary forward of a match.
