A young (only Chanderpaul over 30) and very green Windies side with pathetic schedule
of preparation should get blown away by England conditions experts. 4-0 would seem to be an
absolute banker (as in 2004), unless it's seriously wet up north.
Such is the lack of Windies selection depth there are geezers like all-rounder Dwayne Bravo (24) and young keeper Ramdin (22) who have breezed through the system on precocious talent alone. Bravo was here in 2004 (27.50 with the bat in series) and has played for Kent so must lead the way in young knuckling down stakes. Can't see it happening.
