Pooran is clearly NOT leadership material.

WI play Netherlands and somebody else next week. They might beat them.

But when it comes to the real deal, we in for some serious licks. if you look at the average T-20 scores, it is closer to 200 runs.

WI don't have the cricket brains to reach that.

^ WI batted something like 55 dots balls this game, 53 in the last one.
I don't think they can depend solely on boundaries to win them all the games necessary to go all the way to the finals.

Fully agree. They still have to learn how to make singles or twos from those dot balls.

What de coaching staff doing?

So Pakistan played NZ today. Pakistan bowled their entire 20 overs without a single wide or no ball. WI can never be that disciplined and will never even come close to winning any tournament.

Every other international coach does come across as active, making adjustments as needed and engrossed in the game and fine tuning the team strategy. Our coach on the other hand just sits there like a grandfather struggling to feign interest and stay awake. No wonder there's been little improvement or development in player performance.

So WI beat UAE but I am not impressed. Look at the scorecard (BOTH SIDES BATTED WITH 12 MEN) and our chances of qualifying beyond the 1st round are very slim.

9 WI players made SINGLE FIGURES.

WI - 152/9 (King 64, Pooran 46 / Siddique 5/13) UAE - 135/6 (Waseem 69, Farid 29 n.o / Reifer 3/17)

Yannick Cariah got injured while batting and did not bowl. He might be out for a while.

u didn't see the post match interview with Pooran a couple of series ago before the last T20WC where he stated that's not their style and it's a team of boundary hitters etc...

Just confirms why he should not be the captain of the WI team and Simmons ( as I have been saying for a while) must go.

^ No. The top two in each group in the phase WI are in moves forward to the main part of the competition i.e with the big boys.

The description you have put was for the Global Qualifiers A and B.

Cricinfo with a nice breakdown of what to expect on Aussie grounds. This is why I don't think WI will make it far and that's assuming they make it out the preliminary qualifying

Much is often made about the size of the grounds in Australia (although these days it depends on how far in the rope is), but the fact that the country has the second-lowest boundary percentage in T20 suggests there is some truth to the belief. At 54.1% of runs in fours and sixes, only South Africa (51.7%) has a lower figure. For sixes alone, Australia is again second lowest, with maximums accounting for 20.6% of runs, behind South Africa (19.6%).

That more threes are scored is linked to this. In Australia, batters score a three on average every 127.7 deliveries, which is by far the lowest figure. The next lowest is England at 235.4 deliveries. For twos as well, Australia has the lowest per-balls rate of 11.4, ahead of New Zealand at 13.1. So it would appear that batters should get their running shoes on.

Good thing rain washed out that 2nd T20 warm up match against Netherlands. Wouldn't have liked to see WI lost to them and embarrass themselves for the millionth time.

Who allyuh supporting for the cup? Any predictions?

I like India, but beating Australia in Australia is very difficult. The Aussies are known to come big for big tournaments.

My top 4 picks
Australia
Pakistán
India
New Zealand
