West Indies Tour SA- My Expectations

 
CricketFan 2014-11-21 17:43:38 

Results: I think West Indies will lose all the test matches

Batting: Average 1st Ins total, some where around 175 -200
Expect KB and Marlon have 1-2 fifties, looking forward to Jermine blackwood to cheap in with 1 fifty or so.
No Expectation from Chander, Gayle or Johnson

Bowling: This is only area, I would like to see how they are performing. Friendly pitches, not the best batting lineup of south africa and spirited bowling coach Ambrose, would like to see some competitive bowling.

Man pleeeeaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee. Get out of here with your pessimistic hopeless outlook. Phew. Christine's doom and gloom mindset is creeping on you or wha....



I expect the West Indies to win the Test series, the ODI series and the T20 series. And that's what the team should have in their minds instead of going for the sake of going.


This is one of the major problems of the West Indian - their finding it more comfortable to entertain a defeatist mindset.

Big Benn will neutralize SA's potent batting lineup but I have no faith in our batting to take advantage of his effort.

Jerome Taylor will have a good first test match, but as the series progresses, Kemar Roach will show why he's a class apart from the other seamers in the region.

As far as the batting goes, Shiv will be Shiv, he's rearguarded SA's powerful bowling attack for many years, and seeing Steyn and co tamer in pace these days, I expect no different.

We will lose all of the test matches, only win 1 ODI but may sneak away two of the T20's. No way we beating an odi team in a series that will comprise of De Kock, Amla, Du Plesis, De Villers in them own backyard

Big Benn will be neutral during this series, SA is ah haven for fast bowlers more so than Australia. If we gotta compete, we need our 3rd seamer to back up Roach and Taylor. I'm expecting Roach to run havoc on them saffie batsmen, watch and see. Minimum of 15 wkts in the 3 match series.

I have less faith in Jerome Taylor than most. That will only change when he overcomes his short and wide or down the leg side bowling .This type of bowling. will remain ineffective irrespective of how bouncy the wickets are.
