The Windies are the team which everyone scores batting records against, their bowling attack is not the most threatening.

I started playing Don Watson Cricket 2014 on a whim and well now I both understand and enjoy cricket.

And of course I can't watch it because I have to sleep at night! I feel like the West Indies would be a cool team to pull for, put me down as a Windies supporter.

Don Watson cricket is so accidentally offensive to the name of Don Bradman I just have to laugh

Shane Watson is currently furiously masturbating having been compared to Don Bradman though

Well I certainly wasn't expecting India to destroy everyone after the last couple of months here. Either they weren't taking the tour very seriously or group B is complete garbage.

India are trash and this narrative of "they are such a solid fielding team" and "good bowling unit" is bullshit, they are in the cripple division.
