*Official* - India in West Indies

[Cevno]

It's a 5 ODI series, right? When do the Tests begin?

Yep.

The tests begin on June 20.

 

[Xuhaib]

so bastard Rampaul only turns up against us.

 

[Turbinator]

Good stuff near the end. We've got this.

 

[Turbinator]

What the **** is happening. Pull your socks up India!

They heard you

 

[Shri]

Ashwin will make this a no contest imho.

 

[Turbinator]

If we can keep West Indies for less than 159 in the first 20 overs, I reckon we'll win it

 

[vcs]

Yep.

The tests begin on June 20.

Tough schedule for the guys who will play the Tests in WI and then straight after that in England. Most of the English players will probably have finished their series against SL by June 20, I guess.

 

[Xuhaib]

Eng-Sl also play an odi series

 

[Manee]

Reckon we have a very good bowling attack for this wicket. Really should get over the line.

Praveen was poor throughout the IPL. I have reservations about him for the format. He seems best when batsmen are 'feeling' for the ball and not when they're confidently hitting.

 

[Xuhaib]

last summer Pakistan played 6 tests in 7 weeks surely BCCI must be better then PCB in scheduling.

Raj: "Was Bishoo named after Bishen Singh Bedi?" Interesting question. Might have been, but the guy naming him ended up sneezing midway through the naming ceremony, presumably.

His last name's Bishoo, so that surname was inherited from his ancestors....

His first name's Devendra.

Yeah. Still they'll probably give Anderson a rest and the likes of Tremlett, Prior and Finn will also get a break.

Fixed.

EDIT: No pun intended

Can't see Prior making the one day team

That's why I said he'd get a rest..

 

[Xuhaib]

this Indian series is 2 years too early for Bishoo can't see him troubling this batting line up.

Quality start though, tbh.

He has bowled the most maidens ever in IPL history and bowled 5 maidens in this IPL alone.

Don't think he was poor,though may not have had a great IPL.

 

[vcs]

Are the West Indies openers already practising for the Tests?

 

[chicane]

Good 5 overs to finish, India could have easily ended up around 130. Slow pitch and Bishoo was getting lots of spin so 160 should be tough to chase.

Darren Sammy, for a bloke who's bowling is considered useless by everyone, sure has been among the wickets often.
