*Official* - India in West Indies

[Cevno]

Ugh.. Raina. I don't mind the positive approach but it's not a bloody T20.

Better than just hanging in there.Pitch will ease out slightly and need to knock them off rhythm.

Rampaul in all formats:

Before the World Cup: 66 matches, 64 wickets at 38.

Since: 13 matches, 37 wickets at 19.

Edit - the latter stat is since and including the WC.

 

[Cevno]

Has only played in low scoring matches ,after the WC ,TBF.

 

[Rush]

yep. Though Pujara missed the last season mostly with India.

What is the level of FC bowling in India, it can't be too high with the likes of that clown Sreesanth in our national team.

 

[shankar]

Sreesanth is better than every Indian seamer on this tour .

Does not compute. Sreesanth plays for a Plate team, and so doesn't bowl at the better batsmen in the Elite group. ironically the most promising batsman, Pujara, plays for a team that was in the Plate group until recently, and so might have faced Sreesanth in his FC career.

Sorry, I'm not too sure as to what a Plate and Elite team are

agree...

blooody hell he's a clown agree, but that doesnt make him a terrible test bowler ffs.

"The Sahara in the West Indies I can see is the Indian cricket team". Hilarious.

Damned with faint praise

No. What makes him a terrible Test bowler is that he is terrible when bowling in Tests.

Put simply, the top tier of FC teams play amongst themselves in the Elite group, and the bottom tier play among themselves in the Plate group. There's promotion and relegation between the two. The standard of play being better in the Elite group, most of the Indian team is composed of players from that tier, with Dhoni and Sreesanth (and Pujara, until Saurashtra were promoted) being the exceptions.

 

[Bun]

which he ain't

Good job Raina, better get a 100, didn't think you had it in your.

Give Badri a chance next Test.....

 

[Cevno]

Like how this thread is active when India are doing poorly and goes quiet when India are doing well

Nice session for this by India.Both have countered attacked well and taken control.
Laxman again standing up when required ,and Raina again doing decently well and showing temperament.

Actually expected Raina to do atleast decently well in the West Indies test ,but don't want him selected on this basis for the England series.

Did you miss his debut Test?

Better than Yuvraj.

I never said he never scored a 100....I said get a hundred now. Getting a hundred when your team has scored 700 in response to 650 is not exactly super-impressive.
