Ha ha, my optimism would be similar to yours! Wasn't it last time we were there that they smashed us?! I seem to remember over 500/600 runs in their innings?

Looking like a good prediction the way things are going. 51-4 at lunch. Woeful from the opening batsmen, cannot deal with the conditions. Not as if The Windies are a great test team, we certainly are not.

Nothing against the West Indies, but at least we're not playing Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India or Pakistan :D
