    I was going to comment then I read the last sentence - lucky barsteward!

    Saffers, India or Aussies for me. Pakistan have too many injuries (as do Oz, but you know what they are like), England are too random and rarely seem to get any momentum in the one day game. SL flatter to deceive at the mo and the rest are just the rest.

    I'm goin for saffers or us (blinded optimism as ever!!)

    actually thinking bit more bout it, i think its gonna b a comp for the spinners and since ours r toss and we can;t play against spin scrub that india it is!!!

    i wasn't but been watchin all the warm up matches and the balls been turning shed loads, and not nearly as much bounce as i'd expected

    Fair enough then i haven't seen any of the warm up stuff but read about that 19st Bermuda bloke and if he can spin it and get KP and Collingwood out then maybe theres a hope for other spinners!

    Slow bowlers will play a big part. West Indies wickets these days are not what they were. They are generally slow, low and do take spin.

    Well if I was Collymore and co I would ask what the groundsmen what they have been playing at. The joys of home advantage is that you can try to prepare the pitchs to suit your strength..............saying that WI fast bowling isnt exacting like yesteryear.

    "come on CANADA !!"

    Well they gave Pakistan a bit of a scare.

    Most of the tracks are new - as DJ DD puts it: Low and Slow. Not really what Caribbean cricket is about. Might give NZ a bit of a boost as I rate Vettori.

    Pietersen - 20/1 to be top run scorer on betfair isn't a bad bet as we have an easy group
  • 19051905
    The small grounds will also suit the NZ "get on with it" way of playing.......

    Canada currently 99-7 against the might of Ireland in a warm up game!!
