*Official* - India in West Indies

I was merely pointing out flaw in his argument where he was talking about run out opportunities and plays and misses.

so batsman can't even have a play and miss if thats the case then Sachin's 146 vs Steyn & Co is the worst innings ever.
2 dropped catches, 1 plumb lbw not given, constantly getting lucky with running between wickets, edges flying everywhere, getting hit on the body a few times- on a pitch that had little in it for the bowlers!

Thats much much worse than sachin, laxman getting beaten every now and then by high quality swing/seam bowling on lively pitches in their respective big knocks in the series (146 capetown, 96 durban).
Even amla and kallis were beaten on numerous occasions despite facing an avg attack.

ohh where the hell did I quote a play and a miss????

I'm trying to prove that his running between the wickets is **** aswell, so he shouldn't be in the squad. He's had countless oppotuities in all formats and has done **** all.

3.2


Johnson to Vijay, 1 run, Sehwag is nearly run out Vijay tapped the short of length delivery close on the off side and called SEhwag for a quick single. Sehwag responds and just about gets back in time. It was refered to third umpire. There was a direct hit from the point fielder. The bat is just inside the line when the bails come off. Risky run that.

3.5


Johnson to Vijay, 1 run, Indians are looking to get run out! what is happening out there? Vijay with yet another risky call. It would have been run out had that throw hit. It was pushed towards cover and he runs with the shot... RIcky with the throw and Sehwag was a touch lazy in the way he was dragging the bat in .. and had the throw hit ..

6.6


Hilfenhaus to Vijay, no run, Another confusion over a single. Hmmm /.. He pushes it to covers and sets off. Sehwag doesn't. Vijay stops. Sehwag then starts. Both decide in the end that perhaps a run out will be a foolish idea and stay put

11.6


Johnson to Vijay, FOUR, hit in the air just past short cover Again that front-foot problem. He is late and ends up scooping it in the air. Ponting dived to his left at short cover but couldn't reach it. Almost caught.

69.2


Hilfenhaus to Vijay, no run, Shout for a catch by Paine Another short delivery and this one straightens outside off, The last one went to the rib cage; this one went on straight. Vijay tries to drop his wrists and the ball goes close past the gloves and hits the shoulder. Paine dives to his right to take it. No bat or glove there

i wasn't really meant to have it there, just wanted to put down back- to-back deliveries.

Good win by India.

I think India should go with the same team..... I would've loved to have seen Badrinath in the team for first test as well but no need to drop confidence of kohl, Mukund et al so they must stick with same team for next match.

Kohli to score 100 in next match!!

Nope.
I guess Jaffer is next in line to come back as a opener after Vijay or Mukund or Random Patel getting picked again.

Or maybe could make Rahane open ,but he hasn't done so in FC barring one or two occasions.

I think no no I am sure that india will win the series. They can easily beat the West Indies team. But in other hand the West Indies team bowled and field really well. If they bat well, they can beat india.

Can't believe people have called for Kohli to be dropped.

Jeez, this is how you ruin players' confidence and careers. Back him for more than one test ffs.
At first, I thought his domestic record was a lot worse than it is. It is actually pretty impressive. He should stay for the second Test. Suresh Raina is the one with the poor FC record but his Test performances have been good.

Nash has been dropped and Kirk Edwards have been recalled in the squad for 2nd test. Seems samuels will replace nash in the playing XI

Because he is.


Re: Taylor, he only uses the short ball a lot when he's off form. On form he's more similar to Roach. Agreed with how Rampaul bowls. Edwards really just bowls what ever delivery seems appropriate to him at the time. When he's on fire it works and his short balls are dangerous. Other times they're woeful and easy runs. Saying that though, he's constantly been improving since his debut years ago and is worthy of selection. His average a poor reflection of where he is now.It's ruined by how rubbish he used to be.

Indeed. They still have a decent attack when you include Sammy who just has this disgusting habit of picking up wickets.

The batting is just not working though. I presume Kirk Edwards has been recalled to the squad for some practice and Samuels will come into the XI

I can't believe he's a computer-based bot because his posts were vaguely relevant to the topic and displayed some signs of a rudimentary intelligence, but now he's just given up all pretense and gone on a spamming spree. :laugh: It's hilarious to think that somewhere there's a human being sitting and doing all this.

The age of internet advertising and spamming.....

He has done a good job tbf of spam advertising and seems to have chosen the right time too to avoid the moderators(but there is hardly any traffic at the moment).
If he is getting paid per clicks then he has probably done a below averagish job, but if he is advertising the product directly then i doubt the target audience on these forums were worth the effort.

He also went offline as soon as i mentioned this and has spammed the forums at a pretty slowish rate only quoting his posts. Guess he thinks he could get away with it :laugh:
