Yes England are favourites, but don't write off west indies. Since 2015 , England and west indies have played in 9 test matches both home and away, and England and west indies both have won 4 each with one drawn #westindiesvseng (1/n)....
One of the famous victories was in Leeds , when chasing 322 in second innings owing to strong contribution from Braithwaite and shai hope , Windies chased down the total (2/n)..
The pace attack of westindies is not to be underestimated in roach, Gabriel, alzarri Joseph and ably supported by holder, west indies possibly have the best attack since the great golden period. (3/n)
Also, if I recall correctly, west indies play with duke ball, so the bowlers are used to it . However, it is west indies batting that could decide the series. (4/n).
A lot will depend on hope, Braithwaite. And if the middle lower middle order of west indies - chase , dowrich and holder can score runs , as they have occassionally in past, west indies may put up competitive totals (5/n).
Fingers crossed as we are about to witness first action after pandemic (last n/n)

Tactical Punts/Strategy/Insights for today's game. This is a big match for both KKR and SRH (coming from losses). 1. SRH need to boost their middle order, with Warner, Bairstow, and Rashid a given, Williamson has to come in to give a boost to the middle order
2. Implying Nabi misses out, a difficult choice to make. Another fact is that bowling needs to add some miles to it, due to overseas rules, Billy Stanlake cant make it, but SRH may look at having Khaleel in the playing eleven
3. Also, SRH may boost the middle order by bringing in Adul Samad. One of Williamson/Pandey will need to bat through the innings.

Tactical Punt/Insights into today's game RCB vs Kings Eleven. This will be a fascinating match almost a Bangalore Derby with more Karnataka players in Kings Eleven camp
1.With Mayank playing a crucial knock in previous match, KL Rahul should assume the attacking role (2018 mode)
2. till Mayank is batting with him (Mayank can play the anchor role). Not many in world cricket can match KL in full flow (Score at 150+ strike rate), and he must play in that mode. In case Mayank gets out, then KL can take the anchor role with shot makers around him.
3. Dev Padikkal hit his straps immediately against SRH, but he is new, and if kept quiet for some time may feel the pressure. Get Shami to target Padikkal with accurate bowling, he may give away his wicket. Kings can also contemplate inducting Mujeeb and using him in PP overs

Tactical punts/insights in today's game
1. mumbai Indians take pride in having a strong middle lower middle order, but even they will struggle to match the might of KKR's set up with morgan, Karthik and Russell 1/8
2. AbuDhabi with notso flat pitches & big boundaries, optimum score is arnd 150-160.big hitters who traditionally play fewer balls, but with a 200+ strikerate consistently, may not find d going that easy (barring exceptions)&hence need to be more judicious in shot selection 2/8
3. Mum can therefore decide to send one of pollard/Pandya early , even close to 8th over to target kkr bowlers (kuldeep yadav- who had a bad season and could be put under pressure early) , (nagarkoti, coming from injury) 3/8

Rules.
1. 10 questions with 5 minutes time for each
2. First person to correct answer gets the point
3. At the end of 10 questions max correct answer wins
4. In case of a tie , we ask one additional question and whoever answers that wins
#msdquiz question One) One of Dhoni's remarkable story is his journey to stardom from cricket hinterland - ranchi . We have heard stories about his batting exploits in school, can you name the school where he studied
Rohan get the point for this. We are being lenient. 🤣

An historical perspective- Mohammad nisar and amar singh forged a tremendous fast bowling partnership in pre partition India. They played in 1930s under captaincy of ck nayudu (1932-36).
Hailing from Punjab Nisar was considered one of the fastest bowlers in the world. 6 tests bowling avg. 28.28, 93 first class matches bowling avg. 17.7
Amar singh born in rajkot was right arm fast medium and lower order hard batsman and perhaps India's first fast bowling all rounder. Played 7 matches - bowling avg. 30.64 and batting avg. 22.46 and first class 92 matches bowling avg. 18.35 and batting avg. 24.23

India has a special pace bowling attack. The numbers back it, and it is an all weather attack employing different skills - reverse swing /sg ball, pace and bounce /Kookaburra and swing /duke. We must appreciate this golden period of Indian attack Image
What is heartening to see is good reservoir of bowling - Navdeep Saini will be a handful with his pace and bounce on south african and Australian pitches. Bhuvi with his swing will be fantastic in England /new Zealand. Umesh with his pace and reverse swing.
This doesn't include siraj, khaleel etc. who are perhaps as good as frontline Indian bowlers of old.
