G. Grace making a century on debut.<\/p>\n<p>While Lords is always seen as \u201cHome of Cricket\u201d, the Oval was more \u201cHome of the Working Class\u201d, for so many West Indians who had migrated to the UK during and immediately after World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Attending games at \u201cThe Oval\u201d, beautiful when the sun comes out, probably the most noisy cricket arena anywhere except Trinidad &amp; Tobago\u2019s Queen\u2019s Park Oval or Australia\u2019s Melbourne Cricket Ground, always presents West Indians with a profound sense of nostalgia!<\/p>\n<p>1976; The Oval; Michael Holding destroyed England with that unprecedented spell of fast bowling on that always flat batting pitch; 14 wicket for 149;, which augmented (Sir) Viv Richards\u2019 majestic 291.\u00a0 West Indies won by 231 runs, and the Test series 3 \u2013 0.<\/p>\n<p>That was also a series with mythical connotations, noted in \u201cFire in Babylon\u201d, after England\u2019s captain Tony Greig suggested that his team would make West Indies grovel!<\/p>\n<p>1979; World Cup semi-final ; the Oval; Pakistan, always a tremendous threat, in the guise of Majid Khan and Zaheer Abbas, were beating West Indies to a pulp, putting on 166, to get within shouting distance, before yours truly managed three quick wickets, to change the game to a West Indies win!<\/p>\n<p>2004; the Oval; West Indies played England in Champions Trophy final.\u00a0 The visitors were down but not fully out, before wicket-keeper, now selector Courtney Browne, and always level-headed medium-pacer Ian Bradshaw, put on 71, to come back from the brink.<\/p>\n<p>The Oval has always been special to West Indies, cricketers and supporters alike.\u00a0 When India and Pakistan meet West Indies there later this competition, \u201cThe Oval\u201d will be rocking!<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan is the dark horse in this tournament.\u00a0 Much of their possible eventual progress will depend on the moods of captain Misbah-ul-Haq and wizened veterans Abdur Rehman, Shoiab Malik, Mohammed Haffez, Mohammad Irfan, Saeed Ajmal and wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal.\u00a0 They all have to perform!<\/p>\n<p>India, conversely, must be at least joint favorites, even if they do not normally play well in England. \u00a0\u00a0Mahendra Singh Dhoni has done a great job of honing individual-minded players into a team.<\/p>\n<p>Confidence, even impudence, of batsmen Murali Vijay, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma have destroyed many oppositions\u2019 psyches, while bowlers Irfan Pathan and Amit Mishra are quite useful.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa is still very much an enigma.\u00a0 They always play excellently, and have all of the proper personnel to beat the world in competitions.\u00a0 To date, though, they have not won anything substantial.<\/p>\n<p>The Proteas are rated as Test champions now, holding that ICC Championship mace, but that was more from accrued performances over months, as opposed to instantly winning a one-off competition.<\/p>\n<p>Graeme Smith, the normal captain, will certainly be missed, but AB De Villiers is a good lieutenant, and with Hashim Amla and JP Duminy, will provide the necessary concrete for their batting, while the best fast bowler in world cricket now, Dale Steyn, will lead their attack.\u00a0 Time will tell if this would be enough!<\/p>\n<p>Both West Indies new ODI captain, Dwayne Bravo, and Head coach, Ottis Gibson, have said that they know that West Indies can win, even if not actually predicting victory, but one day cricket is so fickle.<\/p>\n<p>So, to paraphrase the incomparable movie star-director Clint Eastwood, who turned 83 on May 31, \u201cCome on, West Indies, win Champions Trophy 2013, again, at the Oval.\u00a0 Make our days!\u201d\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><b>E-mail: <\/b><a href=\"mailto:c.e.h.croft@gmail.com\"><b>c.e.h.croft@gmail.com<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Indies can certainly win the final Champions Trophy ever, as International Cricket Council continues to engineering its schedules and competitions, to accommodate the more lucrative T-20 series everywhere, and, as suggested last week, to also hope for a return&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[101,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-croft","category-sports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Come on, West Indies, make our days!
