Re: Pakistan in West Indies Stan James odds were 11/8 WI, 8/15 Pakistan.... but Lara has been dropped from the squad. The selectors have said theyre resting him for the tests, but it could well be Chanderpaul tring to recapture the spirit & purpose they had in the first SA test without Lara, Gayle et al. Certainly the rest of the players were more relaxed without him. This confuses it in my mind, & I'll have a think before betting. I was going Pakistan but they are easily as inconsistent as WI at times, only tightening up v India
