Time to get roofs for stadiums. The amount of rain affected matches this year is ridiculous

Not scheduling international cricket during rainy season in Caribbean would be a less expensive solution for this particular problem. Forecast for Port of Spain this afternoon looks terrible. That might be that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This game might just as well be abandoned

Rohit Sharma would be so good if he could avoid these runouts.

 

[Beamer]

Well at least India has a batsmen even more brain-dead than ours..take a bow Rishabh Pant.

 

[slippy888]

Pant is overrated

 

[slippy888]

Kholi looks good for another 100 here against a world class bowling attack.

 

[Tom Flint]

Thank God this game has come back from the dead. Was looking forward to listening to England on the radio at work then watching Middlesex t20 and the end of this before I went to bed.
So pleased that this has started again and looks to be a decent game on.

 

[Beamer]

Holder is a terrible ODI captain. It really is time for s change. We're not improving at all.

 

[weldone]

Only a stupid coach like Ravi Shastri would have Pant bat at 4 and Shreyas Iyer at 5!

Why Cotrell not playing stupid selections as usual

Injured in the warm up I believe.

very stupid indeed, unless he's injured - he has been their best ODI bowler of late

 

[Beamer]

Genuinely, our ODI team makes me want to scream at the TV.

Carlos with a free pass in the team, averaging 16 with the bat and bowling long hops. Holder losing nearly every match for 4 years in the same way, not being able to defend scores and inspire his troops.

It's so ordinary. Have to credit these two though, it's high quality batting.

 

[Starfighter]

It would just be so like the West Indies to completely mess this up after such a brilliant start. Notable that Kohli is back to remorselessly churning out centuries now it's back to a series no-one cares about with a poor attack.

He had 5 straight fifties in the world cup - don't pretend as if he has just suddenly rediscovered run making.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Tbh kohli could've scored a few hundreds in the wc if rohit had left him with more to do in most of the games.

 

[Beamer]

That had the distinct feeling of men Vs boys in the field. Not necessarily physically but in terms of cricket smarts and winning key moments.

Holder has to give up ODI captaincy, we've got to try something different as to be frank, our ODI team really, really sucks and has done for 4 years.
