We all been watching the West Indians getting beaten up by high calibre teams like Aus, NZ and S.L. left and right. They couldn't able to even score a mere score of 200 either by batting first or chasing. I know they are weak but they put a good fight in the league matches. I was hoping for them to win alteast one match against the big teams. But it didn't happen till date.
Their bowling is not the very best and batting depends on ly on 2-3 players like gayle, Sarwan, Chandrapaul & not to forget Lara whose performances can't be counted on everytime and not really consistent.
In the current points table below,
They stand-in just ahead of the minnow teams with Net R.R of -1.177.

We all know at the end of the Super 8 matches. Four team needs to be packed up and sent back.. We are sure that the minnow teams who made to Super 8 by their good effort in league matches won't have very good chances making it further.. So counting them 2 in the packup list, we are looking for the 2 more teams from the unknows of 4 teams as we all know Aussies and Africans will make it easily. Its going to tough fight between Kiwis, Brits & Lanks with W.I being the wild card on the bunch.
W.I already played 3 matches and lost of all of them real bad. They still have 3 more matches to go.. Next match is another tough one with S.Africans. If they win last 2 matches, they will be still out taking into consideration the way Brits and Lankans are playing.. Its a tough deal for the Host team and also Lara's last chance to raise the cup.
I am sure they don't have the capability to fight Aussies so no way they can go to finals.. But I am rooting for N.Z/S.A to go to finals.. If they need to go, then we need a weaker team to go to semi's.
I still miss the W.I team in 1990's. Where is the W.I team we all used to watch out as a big threat with good arsonels on both departments with Peterson bowling and Greenidge batting? I don't it thing we will ever get to watch that kind of team again..

Anyways, If they have a dream to go forward to catch the cup with an upset, they need to start shaking something now and try to think about staying in the grease much longer.. Do you think they will pull pack together?
