*Official* West Indies in India

[Athlai]

India are honestly trying here. Good to see some honest trying from them, the talent is there but they just haven't been able to apply themselves at crucial situations.

 

[Contra]

Any reason why Sammy isn't bowling?

 

[Z-Man]

He fears for dropping a catch on his own bowling

 

[Stapel]

Any reason why Sammy isn't bowling?

He can't drop catches at slip when bowing???

 

[Z-Man]

Rohit Sharma is probably more talented than Virat Kohli, imo. Just hasn't been given the confidence/chance.
Should be in the test side as well.

 

[Contra]

A run a ball from here on. Still doable this, India have done well by keeping up with the RR even though they lost a lot of wickets.

 

[Z-Man]

You win

 

[Contra]

He's been given tons of chances, far too many in fact. He's only starting to come good this year. But better late then never.

 

[Stapel]

I can't believe this match will turn around. It cannot happen!

You win

Cheers!

 

[Contra]

Ashwin should take a risk or 2 now, both Vinay and Mithun can hang around.

 

[Daemon]

We'll fall 20 short

 

[Contra]

Opportunity for a century here for Rohit, does like playing the Windies doesn't he.

 

[Contra]

Extraordinary, the amount of singles they're taking in the Batting Powerplay is unreal.

 

[nsniks]

Narine strikes, All upto Rohit. Vinay and Mithun can hang around a bit, but still think we will fall short

 

[Contra]

all they need to do is play out the spinners.

 

[Himannv]

Not following this series very closely but Rohit Sharma seems to be batting whenever I have a glance.

 

[Contra]

Rohit to go all out now.

 

[Contra]

Massive!

Rohit factoid:

In matches where MS Dhoni is captain: 52 innings, average of 22.82, strike rate of 71.55.
In matches where someone else captains: 14 innings, average 103.12, strike rate of 88.32.

Too big to be a coincidence. Would suggest, unfair as it may seem, that Rohit has a knack for those games when India feels comfortable enough that they'll rest their captain.
