Can West Indies bounce back?

After watching Westindies against South Africa i was wondering where this team will go in this tournament.The positive from that match was the batting of Darren Bravo, who played beautifully.Apart from him, his brother Dwayne Bravo's batting, bowling and fielding performance.The over dependence on Chris Gayle's batting is also causing them lot.We all know Gayle is a match winner but he alone can not win all the matches, windies batsmen have to keep this in mind and play.

Darren Bravo must play his natural game and play according to the situation, i hope he can capable of playing long innings.Chanderpaul has to bat better and try to score runs at a faster rate,same apply to Sarwan,he has to play his natural game.If these two players play well, i think WI can surprise some teams.Pollard who will follow those two have to play his natural game instead of playing defensively.The problem with Pollard is he had never scored consistently in one day matches , in fact in any of the international matches.

Another important problem this WI team has  is their tailenders pathetic batting, non of their bowlers bats', including Sammy, the captain.The current wicketkeeper Thomas looks to be a good batsman but we have to wait till he scores big.It will take a mammoth effort from these batsman to make this team a competent and winning side.Now they have more problems as Dwayne Bravo was injured and out for 4 weeks.Will they find someone to replace this wonderful player? I scared that they don't have one.

In Bowling , Roach needs to be consistent in his line and length, he struggled with his line in the match against South Africa.He has to understand that he is the team's main strike bowler.Sammy was better against SA but he also needs to be consistent.I feel very sad that this team don't have genuine spinner specially in subcontinent pitches.Benn is predictable and he has no variations, Gayle not bad but they can not afford to have him bowl 10 overs.Their main bowlers have to bowl well. Its very sad to see Windies struggling to find a bowler, once a formidable bowling nation now ??.

Sammy must attack with field placing and he has to make the team believe that they can win.Having said that each and everyone must play according to the plan. I hope this team will provide something to cherish in this world cup.They have to beat Bangladesh,Holland,Ireland and either India or England to reach the quarter finals, will they?
