West Indies - Against all odds!

West Indies - Against all odds!

Whatever home advantage West Indies has got is nullified by the combined effort of schedule makers and the curators. The first match they played was against Kenya. Kenya had beaten them earlier in the world cup itself. The fear was still there and Windies struggled to win that match. So the first match was a difficult one. In the second warm up match, they’ll be playing against India on 09-Mar-07. Because the curators have come up with the slow tracks which would aid the spinners, the Asian country India will be at the advantage. So the second warm up match also is promising to be difficult for West Indies. Their ill luck doesn’t stop here. Even in their league matches, the first match they’d be playing is against Pakistan, an Asian country. A tough start for the host. With all these odds against them, the home crowd will contribute more to the pressure than to the advantage!! It’s interesting to see how they’d fare in this world cup…
