Is Swann ready for the captaincy against the fruitful West Indian team?

So Sky lobbied the ECB to deliver exciting games that will bring a large viewership after the Stanford Super Series deal collapsed due to Stanford's questionable commitment. And as a result? 2 Mouthwatering contests between the 2 teams of England and West Indies in which 1 will be shown for free as part of Sky Sport's free weekend for UK Sky viewers. In 2000, Swann was tipped to be a great spin bowler after being entered in England tour of South Africa and been banished for 7 years, brought refreshed and one of the leading spin bowlers in this age. Now he has to contend being captain for the 2 T20 games against a transitional West Indian side who are seeding great young talent in all forms of the game likewise for England too.


Some England cricket supporters will be embracing another 3 days to the England cricket season although the ticket prices are very high for adults being £40 and ticket prices for children are £1.


Both sides aren't to fully strengthened teams as numerous players depart for the Champions League Twenty 20 tournament. Some new and also some experienced players in the team but for England their plans have been hampered by a string of injures from Twenty20 specialists like Stuart Broad and Eoin Morgan. 4 experienced players (Fidel Edwards, Devendra Bishoo, Marlon Samuels and Darren Sammy) are playing in the T20 internationals for West Indies in which they have experience playing in the World Cup in India earlier this year.


With that all in mind, I think it will be  England who will win the series but will be close with both sides having a lot of young players to the sides and their recent forms in T20.


England squad likely:
1 Craig Kieswetter (wk), 2 Alex Hales, 3 Ravi Bopara, 4 Jonny Bairstow, 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann (capt), 10 James Anderson, 11 Jade Dernbach


Bit unsure with the West Indies side and have to go with other sources to make a judgement for a likely squad.


West Indies squad likely:
1 Dwayne Smith, 2 Miles Bascombe, 3 Marlon Samuels, 4 Danza Hyatt, 5 Nkruma Bonner, 6 Derwin Christian (wk), 7 Darren Sammy (capt), 8 Andre Russell, 9 Garey Mathurin, 10 Devendra Bishoo, 11 Fidel Edwards


About the pitch in the Kia Oval and being late in the season, the pitch will skid on with the dew factor but it will be near certain that the field will be hard to field with the dew causing the spikes to skid.

War going on???

Fidel Edwards just chilling after training
