West Indies - WHY NOW ?

280 for 3 in 46.2 overs to win that match by 7 wickets ? You got to be kidding me. You know this ain't right. *sigh*

Of all the times they could have regained their confidence, it had to be right before they take on us. GRRRRRR.

(By the way - WHOA, that was an amazing job by the Indies side. Are they really coming back to form ?)

The batting is certainly a force to be reckoned with at the moment, and I honestly fear for the Bangladesh bowlers when facing the likes of Chris Gayle who is basically a destroyer of mediocre attacks (Zimbabwe, Kenya etc). But the ODI bowling is still a problem, as WI need a genuinely quick bowler to take wickets. By the way, what are the average bowling speeds of the Bangladesh opening bowlers? This is crucial, as if they are just medium pacers, they could really be in trouble against Gayle and Hinds.
