*Official* - India in West Indies

[Howe_zat]

If Badri doesn't perform in the next two matches it's bound to keep him out of the Test side. Unfair that Ranji runs seem to count for so little but the Indian selectors seem convinced by using ODIs to audition Test players.

Anyway, still Raina and Yusuf to come in, and this is still India's until one of them is back in the hutch.

Lol @ Malcolm. Deadset worst umpire I've ever seen. And more lols for India not using the review system. "It's not 100% accurate?" Neither are umpires you twits, that's why it was invented.

I think he will get a go regardless..

Vijay
Mukund
Dravid
Badrinath
Laxman
Raina (wouldn't want him near the Test team usually, but should be OK on these tracks)
Dhoni
Harbhajan
Mishra
Munaf
Praveen

EDIT : Whoops, forgot about Kohli. Hmm, then Badrinath will probably miss out. Shame. Patel departs, India in trouble now.

 

[NasserFan207]

Usernames confused me a bit. Genuine wtf moment.

Edit: Dumb as hell to base test selection of this ODI. Badri definitely strikes me as a test player

Real captain's shot from Raina there.

 

[NasserFan207]

Yeah, this makes you appreciate Dhoni doesn't it

 

[dansinghani.j]

Not a shot you would expect of an Indian captain. However, it will be a good test for Sharma and Yusuf. They are both capable of buckling down and playing mature knocks and the last thing India need is another rash shot.
BUT If this partnership gets broken anytime soon, India won't just lose, they will get embarassed!

 

[Nate]

That's the big one - into the tail now! Come on Windiesssss

 

[dansinghani.j]

WOW...Llendl Simmons just pulled off a blinder!..Windies are clear favorites now!

 

[NasserFan207]

Great catch.

Haters on CW > Yusuf Pathan

Bhajji and Mishy can bat.. so not quite giving up hope yet. Rohit needs to stay there however.. and finally prove that he's worthy of all the chances he's been given in ODIs so far.

 

[Howe_zat]

Would bring back Roach for a couple of overs here. Get Sharma out now and it's all over.

Edit: He's gone with Russell.

 

[Howe_zat]

All in Sharma's hands now.

Now that's a statement to fill the Indian fan with confidence.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Looks done and dusted. India seem in control, there is no pressure - and hasn't been in the whole time I've been watching (turned on at 95/6) - and I don't believe the Windies can remember how to win.

 

[ankitj]

Praveen Kumar should get a few chances to bat higher up. He bats with responsibility and was inducted in the team initially as an all-rounder.

Oh and did Kohli act like a prick again? Nothing new. Last match he was trying to tell the umpire when to call a wide ball.

 

[nsniks]

Brilliant innings by Rohit Sharma

 

[Cevno]

Rohit did pretty well today.

Early to tell but could he be finally coming of age? His first match winning finishing innings probably.

Badrinath was the MOTM in the T20's IIRC?

Unlucky to get Run out today.

Think he will play the tests ahead of Raina though most probably as Dhoni knows both the players pretty well at CSK.

All in Sharma's hands now.

Praveen did pretty well later on.

This team bats really deep with Mishra at 10.
