*Official* Match 42 - India v West Indies

[Jono]

Yeah Pollard haters gotta get real. He's not going to perform with the bat every match as they desire, but to question his commitment is ridiculous.

Yeah I think I'm a convert now given his efforts in this tournament.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Sammy's been fairly good with the ball.

Only really seen him versus us and India has been pretty poo in both.

 

[Nate]

There are Pollard haters?

Yeah, he was excellent against Bangladesh and Ireland.

Mikey Holding in our Sky studio up here pretty much just said the Windies won't be too disappointed to lose today....

 

[Jono]

They've made it pretty obvious too.

 

[Xuhaib]

good thing for india is despite the collapses they are scoring 270+ regularly.

Windies showing so much preference for Pakistan makes me nervous

Would you prefer India to lose this game?

Gutted we couldn't bat out fifty overs, but at least it wasn't 29/9 this time (). The one big positive for us is that Yuvraj Singh is well and truly back in form. Like Jono mentioned earlier in this thread, an in-form Yuvraj turns the line-up from a good one into a bloody good one.

Hmm, not necessarily. Gun top order is the sole reason for that and given the danger that some of the new ball bowlers going around pose, can't rely on that every single time which India are at real risk of doing.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Why no Shiv today? Windies batting line up looks very, very thin. Thomas due to come in at #6 with a List A average below 15.

 

[Spark]

Perhaps Sammy will be used as a floating hitter again.

Yes, I think they believe they have better chances against Pakistan because their bowlers can be just as good if not better than Pakistani bowlers.

Roach, Pollard, Russel, Suleiman, Rampaul all are dangerous. Even Sammy can cause troubles.

Btw was it just me or the body language of the Indians today was not good today?
