What about Gayle? Especially during the final 10 overs?

I've seen them - besides Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan also bowls leg spin more accurately than our Alok/Ashraful; so while our part time leggies give away floods of runs when they bowl, West Indies leggies are actually more effective in checking the run-rates down.

That is, if our batsman do manage to see off the new ball attack of the West Indies pacemen.
Gayle is not a leggie - a Right Arm Off Break and Sarwan is no threat. We're a sub-continental side. We should know a thing or two about spin bowling, specially with so many quality SLAs in the team. Hullabaloo around current WIndies pace attack doesn't amount much. Chucker Lawson remodelled his action and now a lesser bowler. BD batsmen handeled faster bowlers than Edwards and Best. At times they are wayward.

I'm saying all these having an understanding that this BD side is confident. The only thing i kept thinking is application of skills. I really hope for a good ODI series.
