***Official*** West Indies in India 2013

2 questionable decisions in Shillingford's 6-fer. Still deserves it though, bowled nearly half the overs so far and he's bowled well for majority of the time too.

Wondering which two you are referring to out of the three or four?

Tendulkar and Kumar. The rest were all straightforward weren't they?

Was Kohli's one clearly out? I didn't see it live but cricinfo have left quite some doubt.

Ohh thought it was Shillingford who got Rohit Sharma as well but just found it was Permaul lol.

Randin cannot bat and he cannot keep, at this point if we are going to play a poor keeper, at least pick one who can hold a bat.

We are basically playing 5 batsmen, cannot win like this, also Ravi and Kemar needs to find a way to stay healthy and on the field.

Hoping West Indies pile on the runs so Sachin can get another chance #sachinoverindia #selfish #dealwithit

I just hope that now that the umpires have been aggressive against the Indian batsmen that they don't all of sudden start giving the benefit of the doubt to the West Indians (especially after finding out about their decisions).

I am only saying that because I have seen umpires do that in the past & It's soo annoying haha

From what I saw and the reactions from the players looks like he was out.

But let's be honest here, DRS was designed to eliminate all of this. Use it.

No you're not getting it. We should hope they do that so Sachin can bat again #priorities

Yeah you're right actually. Kohli's doesn't look out on hindsight.

In contrast, I am hoping that the game finishes today itself, so that I have two extra days off where I don't get addicted to the Live Stream.

Hell no, I have the next two days off and I need something to do

2 observations from a neutral perspective;

1) Like so many of the lesser teams, sad to see the Windies failing to finish the job after having India 5-80 odd and then 6-150 odd.

2) Utterly stunned to see it's only Rohit Sharma's first test match. Always thought he looked like a super talented player. Even thought he looked a better prospect than Kohli when the two of them were young bucks in the ODI side in 2007/08. Amazed it took another 6 years for him to get a crack at test level. Testament to the strength of the Indian batting line up in recent years I suppose. .

It's never going to happen as long as the head of the BCCI doesn't change.

Shami is soo good

Gayle looking clueless

 

[Hurricane]

Late to the party and its probably already been said but Shami has a quite attractive action.

 

[Shri]

Ash will get 6 here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah but I thought the slightly more 'educated' fans generally don't give these comments any value.

I think those were the only sort of comments JontyPanesar was exposed to before now, tbf.

This is a disgrace. What on earth are WI thinking playing 5 batsman. First of all we all know WI are no #6. they got their by beating Zimbabwe and BD. As far Sammy WI will NEVER be competitive as long as he plays. Ramdin as well is a total joke. I cant believe he is still in the team. he has never ever deserved to play for WI. I am fuming! How much more disappointment can one take. Sammy needs to go and be replaced by Kirk Edwards and Ramdin has to go also. WI needs to find a batsman and train him to be a keeper. Every team in world cricket except New Zealand have wicketkeepers who are genuine batsman. WI seems to not realize how much of a competitive edge they lose when they basically have 5 batsman and 6 tailenders. How can you possibly think thats a reasonable team composition!!!!

I agree with the sentiment, but if Ramdin is the best option then he's the best option, just put him at seven.

Also BJ Watling says hello. He's ironically a guy who is the result of your wanted plan: a batsman trained to be a keeper.

 

[Zinzan]

Excuse my ignorance, but can anyone tell me exactly what the rationale is from the BCCI in continuously refusing to use of DRS?
