Good to be getting back to the cricket after all of the political shenanigans. I've got high hopes for the forthcoming series against the West Indies. A lot of people seem to be assuming that England will win comfortably, but I think it could be a lot closer than that.
The West Indies are slowly improving under Chris Gayle, and seem to be believing in themselves a little bit more. They played well in patches in New Zealand but were a bit hit and miss... but that could be a pretty accurate description of England as well.
If the newer members of the team can contribute enough to support Gayle, Sarwan and especially Chanderpaul (probably the World's most effective batsman for the last couple of the years if not one you'd necessarily pay to watch) then I expect some more tight cricket and fifth day afternoon finishes.
I take England to sneak the test series on the basis of our bowling attack, but the Windies to win the one-days fairly comfortably.
One thing that's for sure though knowing the belligerent character of KP, I'll be taking a small investment in a ton from him in the first test.
