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. Sami Khedira Germany 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.

The 23-year-old 2013 second-rounder out of Oregon becomes the third Bills linebacker to win the honour after Jim Haslett (1979) and Shane Conlan (1987.FRANKFURT, Germany -- Germany coach Joachim Loew made several surprise inclusions in his preliminary 30-man World Cup squad on Thursday, with established regulars such as Mario Gomez missing out. Loew named relatively unknown players such as Sampdoria defender Shkodran Mustafi, Borussia Dortmund defender Erik Durm, Augsburg attacking midfielder Andre Hahn, Hoffenheim striker Kevin Volland, and Schalke midfielders Max Meyer and Leon Goretzka, 18 and 19 respectively. None have made any appearances for the senior side. Freiburg midfielder Matthias Ginter, who made his debut against Chile in March, was also named. "We need young dynamic players like those who perhaps only recently played themselves into contention. They can inject fresh impetus into the side," said Loew, whose team was booed by its own fans during the lacklustre 1-0 win over Chile. The average age of the side is 24.8 years, and Loew, who was assistant to Jurgen Klinsmann before taking over after the 2006 World Cup, feels he has struck the right balance between youth and experience. "Many players are used to high-pressure situations from playing in the Champions League, they can live with it," Loew said. "Our foreign-based players also profit from establishing themselves abroad. That brings them further on a sporting level. Generally we have a good mix in the squad." Gomez, who has 25 goals in 59 games for Germany, missed out due to a left knee injury after a season blighted by injuries at Fiorentina. "He was injured for seven months, only played 280 minutes since September," Loew said. "So I formed the opinion that he isnt in a position physically to cope with the conditions in Brazil. There was also no place for Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen or former Germany No. 1 Rene Adler. "We didnt make any decisions against any players but for those who would maximize potential of the squad. Were very sorry for the players who didnt make it," Loew said. Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller and Hannovers Ron-Robert Zieler will deputize for current No. 1 Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich. Loew said he picked the players based on current form and fitness but made an exception in selecting midfielder Sami Khedira, who has yet to play for Real Madrid since having knee surgery last November. Bayern contributes seven players to the squad, more than any other side, with Dortmund boasting six. Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos and Mario Goetze lead the Bayern contingent, while Marco Reus, Mats Hummels and Marcel Schmelzer are among tthe best known Dortmund players. Mario Gomez Germany Jersey. Arsenal trio Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski were all included. "Behind each of these names is a clear yes," Loew said. "Well have to send some of them home and of course that will lead to disappointment but those players will have contributed to German football and they can be proud of that." Loew has until May 13 to submit a squad of no more than 30 players to FIFA, with the deadline for the final 23-man squad on June 2. Due to the German Cup final between Bayern and Dortmund in Berlin on May 17, Loew named a separate 18-man squad for Tuesdays friendly against Poland in Hamburg with eight first-time call-ups. These included Meyer, Goretzka and Volland, as well as Freiburgs Oliver Sorg and Christian Guenter, Antonio Ruediger of Stuttgart, Christoph Kramer of Moenchengladbach and Wolfsburg attacking midfielder Maximilian Arnold. Four other players were previously called up but have yet to earn their debuts: Mustafi, Hahn, Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt and Sebastian Rudy from Hoffenheim. "Its clear to all of us that the team on the pitch in Hamburg wont be the team playing the World Cup in Brazil," Loew said. "We want to look beyond the World Cup. Some of the players can be influential figures in the big tournaments to come." In Brazil, Germany hopes to get off to a good start against Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal, before a reunion with Klinsmann, now in charge of the United States, and another game against Ghana, when half-brothers Kevin-Prince and Jerome Boateng will renew their World Cup rivalry on opposing sides. ------ Squad: Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Roman Weidenfeller (Borussia Dortmund), Ron-Robert Zieler (Hannover) Defenders: Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich), Erik Durm (Borussia Dortmund), Kevin Grosskreutz (Borussia Dortmund), Benedikt Hoewedes (Schalke), Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Marcell Jansen (Hamburger SV), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Per Mertesacker (Arsenal), Shkodran Mustafi (Sampdoria), Marcel Schmelzer (Borussia Dortmund) Midfielders: Lars Bender (Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Draxler (Schalke), Matthias Ginter (Freiburg), Leon Goretzka (Schalke), Mario Goetze (Bayern Munich), Andre Hahn (Augsburg), Sami Khedira (Real Madrid), Toni Kroos (Bayern Munich), Max Meyer (Schalke), Mesut Ozil (Arsenal), Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund), Andre Schuerrle (Chelsea), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich) Forwards: Miroslav Klose (Lazio), Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim), Lukas Podolski (Arsenal), Thomas Mueller (Bayern Munich) ' ' '
