With England and West Indies going head-to-head in Sundays ICC World Twenty20 final, Sky Sport experts Bob Willis compares the sides, including captains Eoin Morgan and Darren Sammy. Jesse James Jersey . The openersSince the inception of T20 cricket, Chris Gayle has clearly been one of the most exciting players. He probably comes off just under 50 per cent of the time, which, for a batsman of that style, is a pretty good record. England have got to be very careful how they bowl to him - I would urge them to bowl really full and straight as if David Willey tries to swing the ball and gets it slightly wrong it could set him on his way. The numbers from Chris Gayles innings against England in Mumbai On current form, Jason Roy would be Gayles direct comparison, with the England man playing two brilliant innings and almost singlehandedly taking his side past New Zealand in the semi-finals. The other two openers, Alex Hales and Johnson Charles, are lesser lights at the moment.Hales is still bubbling under but has formed a good partnership with Roy - a tandem that is probably just ahead of West Indies. Charles has license to play his shots and scored a half-century against India but England will think they can keep him relatively quiet if their bowling is up to scratch. The middle orderOn their day, England possess more x-factor in the middle order than West Indies. Clearly Eoin Morgan, a real feast or famine player, is in one of his slumps but Joe Root has out-batted his equivalent Marlon Samuels, two men who play in different ways to the rest of their sides real shot-makers.Root rotates the strike with shrewd shots and swift running between the wickets and then England have Jos Buttler, who has peaked at the right time, and Ben Stokes who are capable of remarkable innings - the latter has been quiet in this tournament but we saw in the Test match in Cape Town how blistering he can be. Lendl Simmons cannot wait to play for West Indies in the World T20 final Lendl Simmons played a remarkable innings in the semi-final having just stepped off a plane but England should bowl a whole lot better than India did, though in Andre Russell, a player Sir Clive Lloyd is desperate to have in West Indies Test side, they have a potent six hitter.Write off Russell, and Dwayne Bravo for that matter at your peril, but Englands batting line-up is incredibly deep - it is remarkable to think Liam Plunkett, a player with two first-class hundreds and 19 fifties, is at No 11! Samuel Badree (R) has taken seven wickets at 15.42 in the World T20 The bowlersSpin will be the main area of concern for England, both in terms of how they handle Samuel Badree and Sulieman Benn and how Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali bowl for them, and I would have to put the West Indies slightly ahead.Badree is a very capable performer indeed - he is more economical than fellow leg-spinner Rashid and not as tempting to hit. Rashids loopy delivery excites batsmen, whereas Badree, despite being a taller man, has a much flatter trajectory. Moeen and Rashid got some tap from West Indies earlier in the competition and also from Sri Lanka, but spin may be harder to hit away at Kolkata - the average scores there in this event have been around 140-150 and when India played Pakistan the pitch was a raging Bunsen Burner.Seam-wise, Stokes and Chris Jordans death bowling has been a revelation but in terms of pace variations and disguising slower balls, I class Bravo as the master, closely followed by Russell.However, if David Willey has a good day and bowls well front-up, I dont think they have a bowler who can compare. David Willey - potentially the best of the bowlers? The captainsI think Morgan has captained very well indeed - he, Trevor Bayliss and Paul Farbrace have turned this group into a very happy band of exciting, dedicated cricketers who probably cant quite believe their eyes that they are in this final.In a funny kind of way, you can say that both Morgan and Darren Sammy are acting as non-playing captains, as while Morgan is enduring a lean trot with the bat, Sammy doesnt really seem to bat or bowl! Watch the West Indies players celebrate in style after their World T20 semi-final win over India Sammy, though, is very level-headed skipper who feels like he is on a mission with this West Indies team, always insisting that it is his 15 players against the rest of the world - and I think he includes the West Indies Cricket Board in that.He does everything with a smile on his face, is enjoying the success of the countrys womens and under-19 teams and is a great ambassador - though I would probably give Morgan the edge strategy-wise.Watch the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 Final between England and West Indies live on Sky Sports 2 this Sunday from 1.30pm.

Bud Dupree Jersey . A police inspector told The Associated Press the crane operator is not yet suspected of any wrongdoing but is considered a key witness to the accident at the Arena Corinthians. http://www.steelerspronfl.com/Youth-Javon-Hargrave-Elite-Jersey/ . According to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, the deal will pay Schenn $2.25 million in the first year and $2.75 million in the second year. In 82 games with the Flyers in 2013-14, Schenn scored 20 goals and added 21 assists.(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Jose Sharks will attempt to remain unbeaten on their current homestand Saturday night when they take on the Nashville Predators. The Sharks have opened up a five-game residency with two straight wins, including a 2-1 decision over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. Joe Thornton assisted on both goals, including Joe Pavelskis game-winner early in the third period. The Wild tied the game 1:03 into the third frame, but Pavelski gave the Sharks the lead back when he one-timed a Thornton feed that found the forward in the left circle. (Thornton) found me and I put it right where I wanted, Pavelski said. Those are the ones you have to bury. Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks, who have won six of their last seven games. Alex Stalock stopped 18-of-19 shots fired his way in the win, which came in his career-high third straight start. No. 1 goaltender Antti Niemi has been bothered by an undisclosed injury the past two games stemming from him getting hit by a puck in morning skate on Tuesday. The Sharks picked up a victory despite missing top defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic because of an upper-body injury. San Jose also placed defenseman Matt Nieto (annkle) and forward Mike Brown (lower body) on injured reserve and recalled forward Chris Tierney and defenseman Matt Tennyson from the minors before the game. Antonio Brown Jersey. . The Predators eye a third victory in a row tonight having scored eight goals through the first two contests of a three-game road trip. They got plenty of offense on Thursday in a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. Mike Fisher notched a goal and an assist. His tally snapped Nashvilles 0- for-28 slump on the power play and was his first of the campaign in his seventh game. He missed the first 21 contests due to an Achilles injury. James Neal also tallied a goal and an assist, while Shea Weber and Filip Forsberg each had a pair of assists. Ryan Ellis, Olli Jokinen and Calle Jarnkrok tallied goals as well. Pekka Rinne made 32 saves in Nashvilles seventh victory in nine games. It was a hard-fought game and we just got timely goals, said Rinne. The Predators have won three straight and seven of their past nine versus the Sharks. They are trying to win two straight games in San Jose for only the second time in franchise history, with the first occurrence coming on Jan. 13 and March 10, 2001.
