This will be an interesting series. For the Windies, it's a chance to prove their progress on a bigger stage while England will be treating this series as preparation for the main event of the summer - the series v South Africa. With Gayle back, I can see WI giving England a good fight in the ODIs and T20s but I don't see them getting a Test win. England are just too strong at home. Interesting that WI have picked Shillingford as their specialist spinner. He should be prepared to have his action questioned by the high-browed English commies - especially if he's getting wickets. Also I feel sorry for Lendl Simmons, he was proving to be a very good opener for WI but looks like his injury was pretty serious. Hasn't played in a while.
