*Official* West Indies v India in North America

[OverratedSanity]

Wouldn't be surprised if Gabriel ended up top wicket taker or close to it for this series. Been extremely impressive every time I've seen him recently.

If I were to rank the current quicks in this series I think he's probably the best, depending on which Ishant turns up.

A bit surprised with team selection for first of many test matches that India are gonna play in the next 8-9 months.

Good to see India move on from their Rohit Sharma hard-on.

Slight double take when looking at the WI team and believed for a moment Rangi Chase had been picked.

Windies look a bowler light.

Not really though if you mean the combos with 5 frontline bowlers

Dhawan is a total spud against quick short pitched bowling. Not going to last long.

They've got enough bowling options (6-29 never forget), but you do feel they could've done with a specialist instead of C Brathwaite.

This is properly embarassing from Dhawan so far.

I'd have dropped Samuels for a specialist (Cummins). Also Johnson > Chandrika.

 

[Daemon]

Quality over that. Dhawan looking worse than Raina atm.

I don't see India playing 3 pacers at home and these conditions seem to be similar to the pitches back home. A bit surprised they went with a 3rd seamer instead of Jadeja.

P.S.: Can't believe am advocating for Jadeja's inclusion in the team.

As dumb as it sounds I'd probably take Samuels on ODI form

Oh god pls not the accent. Please.

 

[Daemon]

I thought Ajay was doing a decent job commentating until he brought out his WIndian accent. Guaranteed Gavaskar will whip it out today as well the ****.

 

[anil1405]

Oh god pls not the accent. Please.

Sunny says 'Hi'.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Gabriel has been bowling well

 

[Daemon]

Well deserved, solid stuff.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very good from Gabriel, this. Could be trouble if Vijay struggled with the bounce as well. Dhawan won't last much longer and Pujara isn't great at handling the quick short stuff either.

Oh well, Rahane will save us as usual. No worries.

Awesome enjoying this spell from Gabriel
