Can W.I. make it to quarterfinals ?

How far the side can go ?

Dravid: I think they'll make the quarterfinals and they'll be a dangerous team. Teams may not necessarily want to play them in the quarterfinals because they've got the kind of players who on their day can win you a game.

Smith: I'm going to take a flyer and say they're not going to go through. I'm going to back one of the minnows to qualify heading in. Just on their day if they don't wake up, they can easily be beaten.

west indies getting a lot of disrespect

This is eye pass from the former Proteas skipper !

Dravid knows better  ;D

the west indies players should be disgusted hearing this stuff

Marlon Samuels' role

Dravid:Like a lot of the West Indies players, not really consistent. Brilliant on the day, really fantastic to watch on the day, but not really consistent enough to do it day-in day-out, over and over again.

Smith:He's got a real strut around him, a personality, a form of arrogance, a unique batting style.
I think he plays spin really well and he's got a nice balance between knocking the ball around and a power game.

Chris Gayle's importance

Dravid: He's got the ability, it's just a question of whether he's in the right frame of mind
and he's physically fit enough to be able to do that over a long tournament.

Smith: You could come up against him, he could get a hundred and that could beat you.
That's the challenge you face with someone like him. He's a powerhouse player.

Chairman , The " right frame of mind "

is really diplomatic lingo for " when not in a sabotage mode" 

Even i too am of the feeling that WI can make it to the QF if they play it perfectly,like gelling in well and displaying perfect strategies for each team.Its going to be easy though.They should feel the heat for not being consistent.

Where is Richard Pybus : anyone heard or saw this Director  :-\

aha..just now got to remember that there existed a guy like this.he had a good stint with the BAngladesh team and after being associated with WI,he hasn't made any big impact thus far.
