FINALS : Win Toss , Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
Folks we gotta spin a toss versus Australia !
We note that when we Win and sent South Africa to Bat
fancying ourselves as "GREAT run chasers"
heaven knows where we got that idea :-[
343 the highest score in the Tourney so far, was belted against us!
Re: Win Toss : Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
Yesterday AB win Toss and sent us in, fancying they can use 4 seamers and skittle us.
they almost did with a scoreline of 24 - 4 !
top order eliminated with our most in form perishing for a DUCK !
However at the end , they could NOT run chase 285 !
Re: Win Toss : Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
So its quite a predicament
Australia has the dangerous Starc and packed with Seamers albeit some fast Mediums.
Gabriel 90 mph works well in barbados , the site of the FINAL
bring back Jerome in Tandem ?
and BOWL first ?
OR bank on our momentum and BAT ?

Re: Win Toss : Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016

Bowl first if possible, I think.
We lost bowling second vs Australia twice, and won once batting second.
Re: Win Toss : Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
Reason though TD , we did NOT post a score of 300 and above !
I contend the Team that CANNOT score 300 and up
LOSE this FINAL
On the Tins first or Chasing !
Re: Win Toss : Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
So lets agree we Cannot get to 300+
Lets hope that fortune will favor us so BOWL first
and get OZ all gone for 250 8)
Re: FINALS : Win Toss , Bat ?? - ketchim - 06-25-2016
Based on dillingers stats in other thread
64% chance of a W : if we Bowl
Re: FINALS : Win Toss , Bat ?? - TRINIDADDY - 06-26-2016
The problem is Starc.
WI only won their one game vs Australia because Starc sat out.
Now he's back.
