West Indies Team
The West Indies Cricket Team is one of the most recognized sides in world cricket, known for both its successes and failures over its history.
Its history is marked by colonialism and resistance movements; shared dreams of a better life; migration; economic anxiety that continues to shape this region today; as well as different styles of batsmanship from fast bowlers to those preferring grinding out matches on an increasingly narrow playing surface.
It has seen both success and failure during its journey towards current glory.
Early to mid 1970s, the Men in Maroon were considered the premier Test and ODI teams worldwide. This period saw Garfield Sobers, Frank Worrell, Gordon Greenidge, Clyde Walcott Brian Lara Vivian Richards and Malcolm Marshall enjoy their prime.
But the 1980s brought change. Beginning with an away defeat against England of one-nil over five Tests and concluding in a two-all draw against India at home, Lawrence Rowe led his rebel side on tour through South Africa led by players such as Alvin Kallicharran, Colin Croft Sylvester Clarke and Collis King who later made their debuts for Windies as official team players.
At its height, West Indies dominance included Brian Lara regaining the world record for highest individual Test score and Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh leading their respective bowling attacks with Curtly setting an then-world record 519 wickets between them. But towards its conclusion, things began to change again, leaving West Indies no longer as formidable a force they once were.
The maroon team were triumphant once more at the 2012 World Twenty20, beating Australia in the semifinals and winning their inaugural ICC World Cup title – becoming the first side ever to do so consecutively and secure three final victories within four tournaments – before going on to dominate both ODI and T20 cricket since.
Australia Team
Australia cricket team is considered one of the best teams worldwide. Ranked number one for both test and one-day international cricket, Australia holds three World Cup tournament victories under current captain Steve Smith’s watchful guidance.
Their young, energetic squad boasts fast bowlers as well as solid batsmen; both qualities that contribute to success on the pitch.
Australia has played 223 Twenty20 international matches since 2013, winning 123, losing 90, tying 3 and losing 7. They currently rank second on the ICC T20I team rankings.
Before the World Cup kicked off, Australia played two warm-up matches against Asian minnows Thailand and Oman.
Australia performed admirably in both matches despite some of their senior players not performing at their peak; Hayden, Gilchrist, Martyn, and Gillespie struggled. Meanwhile young guns like Josh Kennedy and Alex Brosque excelled for Australia.
The Australian team is based out of Melbourne and plays its home matches at Melbourne Cricket Ground. While its traditional kit was green and gold, in recent years they have switched to white with red hats for better visibility on the pitch. Their official song is called “Under the Southern Cross I Stand”, performed post victory to promote national pride.
Since 1905, England have played 477 tests and 404 one day internationals (ODIs). They won one world cup title, are currently ranked number one for both tests and ODIs and have become known for fast bowling and solid batting that made them dangerous in both tests and ODIs – winning an Ashes series both years.
Among the team’s many accolades is also being credited with popularising T20 cricket through members such as Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry and Bob Simpson as members – most famous of which being their tied test against West Indies during 1960.
Match Schedule
Australian men’s team will face West Indies and India over eight T20Is and ODIs this winter, starting off with two 20-over contests in Northern Australia’s Darwin; marking its return to international cricket after 17 years.
Australia are hoping to reclaim the Frank Worrell Trophy after their triumphant return in 2012. Australia women are also back on the pitch, competing in five Test series against India and four Test home summer against South Africa.
Fox Cricket will broadcast all international men’s and women’s matches live via Foxtel subscription, with Kayo Sports live streaming available as an add-on service.
Tagenarine Chanderpaul will make his West Indies Test debut against Australia at Junction Oval in Adelaide. Both sides can expect an exciting contest between December 10-13 with plenty of runs expected during each Test match.
Predictions
The Windies have come off an embarrassingly-low 0-3 performance in red-ball cricket series against Australia, but have an opportunity to reset and start their T20I leg on an upswing.
Their new captain Roston Chase, as well as an updated squad featuring debutee Brandon King and veteran players Shai Hope as wicketkeeper and John Campbell returning as opener, provide them with enough ammunition against Australia.
Windies must improve both their batting and bowling to compete, particularly against Australia who are experts at playing this format. Their bowlers have shown great skill at troubling batsmen with pace, skill, and accuracy from behind their bowling pads.
Shamarh Joseph could present Australia with some difficulties as he bowled effectively at their batters in their last match.
With an economy rate of 7.23 in 66 T20Is and over 500 bowling deliveries bowled thus far, Joseph can help West Indies contain Australia’s run-scoring machine.
On the field, Australia will face off against West Indies veteran spinners Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood will hope to keep up their good form while Mitchell Starc and Jason Behrendorff aim to pick up wickets regularly.
Both teams must also remain aware of Jamaica’s unpredictable weather conditions. Heavy rainfall is forecast for the next two days and could result in delays to play starting, with additional time lost between each session.
The Windies have found it easy to score runs in recent matches, and their top order can be especially dangerous. Cameron Green led their previous match by scoring 55 off 35 balls while Glenn Maxwell added another quick-fire 47. On the other hand, Australia has seen their batsmen behaving inconsistently, which could spell trouble in this format if their control of the Test series slips away.
