*Official* - India in West Indies

[Cevno]

I think if he continued his good run and Badri didnt get runs in remaining 2 ODI's , he will definitely be a part of test team. Fletcher seems very impressed by him and he has not got out in this series so far.

Also what changes ppl see in Indian side for today's match???? I would drop Dhawan, Bhajji and Munaf and bring in Tiwary, Ashwin and Ishant.

He isn't in the squad even which has already been announced.

So no threat from him at the moment.

2 places are up for grabs between Raina,Badrinath and Kohli this series.

And they along with Pujara are fighting for one place in the England series ,when Sachin comes back.

Mishra WAG!!!

Simmons has been making a lot of breezy 40s and 50s lately, let's see if he can convert this one into a big score.

I just opened this thread to post the same thing.

Impressed by Simmons, but he really needs to convert more of these starts. Especially with Gayle and Barath returning to the team at some point in the near future(or at least I'd expect them to return soon enough).

 

[Athlai]

Averages 60 since his recall.

 

[shivfan]

And that's Simmons' half-century....off 56 balls.

 

[shivfan]

Bowled Fidel Edwards without a fine leg.

Is that the only reason why Sarwan shouldn't be captain?

Even the great captains of the game have made a mistake in the field when they're younger that they would rather forget as they became more experienced....

How old was Sarwan when he made that 'error' of captaincy?

 

[shivfan]

Samuels out lbw to Mishra....

Poor decision! Ball going over the top.

 

[Manee]

C'mon, India. Foot on the throat this time!

Also @Revo


The cricinfo commentary agrees with you, but facts say otherwise.
In 27 ODI innings, Simmons has only one score of 40+ (and less than 50). This was his last innings. In his last 10 innings, he has gotten 50s five times, and got through two times.
Could be better, but to hint he has a conversion problem seems odd.

 

[Cevno]

And another one falls.

Super bowling by Mishra. Windies have no idea how to play him.


And Pollard comes out against him and Ashwin.

 

[Manee]

Gah. We should probably sort that fifth bowler slot before England! I guess Yuvraj will be back soon.

 

[shivfan]

Simmons run out by Tiwary for 67....

The slide has started.

 

[Shri]

WI to get over 200 easy with Sammy and Russel to bat.

 

[Bun]

hah shambles.

Manoj Tiwary looks like a Bollywood actor whose name I can't remember right now.

 

[Cevno]

Dire captaincy by Raina.

First bowls Tiwary at Pollard and then Pathan and now Ishant.

Almost giving him a chance when he was almost a guaranteed wicket for Mishra/Ashwin.

Worry about the 5th bowler later FFS!!

TBF, he did that in the previous game bowling out Mishra in one go and only left two overs of Harbhajan for later, and WI really cashed in at the death against the likes of Raina and Praveen. Maybe that's why he's doing what Dhoni usually does by getting the part-timers out of the way when the bowling side is on top and the batsmen are not taking too many risks.

 

[Cevno]

If they have more wickets in hand at the End though,they can score quicker of any bowler tbh.

Would rather bowl them out now then later,as that innings is likely to happen lesser times.

Maybe keep a couple of overs left of each for such a Scenario?. But 3 overs of the 2 main spinners should be enough to get Pollard.

Is Baugh capable of playing any strokes at all? One of the worst batsmen I've seen among wicketkeepers.
