*Official* Match 42 - India v West Indies

[Xuhaib]

God I hate Sammy if the bastard was not the captain Chander would surely be playing.

 

[Contra]

Why is he bowling Yuvi..

I hope it's only for an over or 2 max.

 

[Adamc]

Embarrassing.

 

[Contra]

I take back what I said

 

[ankitj]

Yuvi you beauty

(I admit though that I was about to curse Dhoni for giving another over to a non-specialist)

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looking bad for the Windies from here. Struggle to see a way back.

 

[Dissector]

Dramatic turnaround TSTL. Yuvraj has to be a contender for the man of the tournament. I suppose with Ashwin doing well in this game and Yuvraj contributing consistently this attack doesn't look that bad after all. On a turning track I would back it against most teams.

 

[social]

Sarwan looks a shell of his former self so far in this tourney

 

[BeeGee]

From CricInfo:
"Not sure which team doesn't want to win this match more."

 

[ankitj]

OK, that's out. But how long did Munf take to remove the bails there

 

[Jono]

Wow, actually a great call from Nicholas.

"This is why people lose faith in the West Indians"

So frickin' true. The team is a waste of talent.

Can't warm to them at all.

 

[Contra]

Haha that was a very lazy effort from Munaf.. but still at least he managed to run him out

tstl = ?

Ridiculous if they don't get Chanderpaul back in for the QF.

This. Cost them the game against England imo.

ind33d. To use an example, I've been watching the Liverpool game tonight, David Ngog comes on for the last 15 minutes, barely makes a run. Joe Cole comes on for 5 minutes, works his backside off, starts creating things immediately. So much easier to like the latter.

West Indies have so much talent. But apart from Pollard and Russell, they don't look like they even care. No fight, no grit.

 

[BeeGee]

tstl = ?

to say the least

 

[BoyBrumby]

Loath as I am to agree with Nicholas, he does make a good point WRT Sarwan. Him blocking an end up is putting undue pressure on his partners to score.

It's ok when there's a chap who's set at the other end, but when he goes (a la Smith today) there can be a flurry of wickets as the new batsman tries to tee off from the word go.

& Russell goes as I type. Sigh.

 

[Contra]

Out!

 

[Adamc]

Into the number elevens now. Like the guy in the crowd with the 'catch the ball!' sign. Quality.
