I agree with the first, but not with the latter, totally - unless we expect to capitulate against Vaas and either Zaheer/Sreesanth. Who knows how good Sreesanth is in a ODI, but with Zaheer regaining his form, we need to keep an eye on him.
We play India and SL in the WC in PofSpain. I think that is a spinner's pitch.
We have a warm-up game against NZ in Barbados. If Bond plays on that fast Barbados pitch, we will get some bounce related practice. This will ready us for Lasith Malinga. Maybe we should play a game against the Busta cup champs for fast bowling practice. Incidently, does WI have any fast bowlers anymore?
England hardly has a quality spin bowler, let alone their A team.
