World Cup 2007 opening game West Indies V Pakistan

Play starts at 1330 GMT

The ground has been changed from the abandoned test match one at sabrina park. The capacity has been increased and I think the ground has been relayed several times in the past few years.
Sabrina park was where a certain BC Lara scored 365 not out V England.

Squads (from cricinfo)

West Indies (likely) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Brian Lara (capt), 5 Marlon Samuels, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Dwayne Smith, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Ian Bradshaw, 10 Jerome Taylor, 11 Corey Collymore.

Pakistan (likely) 1 Mohammad Hafeez, 2 Imran Nazir, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Shoaib Malik, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, 9 Yasir Arafat, 10 Mohammad Sami, 11 Umar Gul.

Weather

Looks like a cloudy but mainly dry game, very humid so perhaps the ball will seam around.

I feel like a kid getting all excited at the prospect....
