1st T20I: West Indies v Ireland at Kingston
Feb 19, 2014 (14:00 local | 19:00 GMT)

"I want to get off to a good start and set the foundation. This is critical," he said. "There's a good, fast outfield here (at Sabina) and there's some bounce on the pitch so there is something for the bowlers as well. I practiced with Jamaica here for the Super50 also." Gayle said he expected the players to step up in front of the home crowd, pointing to the returning Marlon Samuels and Krishmar Santokie as some of the players he believed would fare well. "We have Santokie, Marlon's back and (Andre) Russell too. Santokie's done pretty well and he was the best bowler in the CPL so it's good for him to be given a crack at it in front his home-crowd. This is a big boost for us going into the World T20s. West Indies have a lot of cricket to play leading into this tournament so we're just looking to get past this (Ireland) series."

Sounds like Gayle expects Santokie to actually get a match....

Ireland will get a beatdung fuh de ages....this series would have been more fun if it was schedule to be a Triangular series with the inclusion of a WI A Team~!

A tri series with England could have worked and would have gotten a lot of viewership. First XI should look like:

Smith
Gayle
Edwards
Bravo
Samuels
Ramdin
Bravo
Sammy
Holder
Narine
Cummins

I picked an ODI side w/Smith. Powell for Smith in the ODI, though Smith should be in both squads. T20 side I have that in the T20WC thread.

hold one a minute. let me get this straight. Is this the same Ireland team that just played in the local ODI competition?

won't it be something if after the local teams, including Windward without Sammy beat up Ireland, and then Ireland beat WI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correction...Jamaica and Guyana easily hammered Ireland, but the Windwards lost to them.
