***Official*** India in West Indies

oh dear, sehwag gone short of his century ... well played for once, here comes dhoni!

 

[Jono]

What a delivery from Bravo. He is a gun!

Bravo vs. Dhoni. Two of the most exciting young cricketers around. Awesome!

 

[silentstriker]

Sehwag was halfway down the pitch! I'm not sure if I would have given that out....but still, you can't argue with that since it was definatly pitching in line.

 

[superkingdave]

looks like Dhoni's gone

 

[Jono]

How many times do you reckon Siva uses the word 'very' whilst commentating per game?

 

[Jono]

Weak Dhoni, weak.

Send in Irfan, no point sending in Rao now.

 

[silentstriker]

Damn, now it will be tough to push the run rate up. We still need to aim for 300-315.

 

[superkingdave]

ouch, Kaif run out now

 

[Jono]

Honestly that's just unlucky. That's what happens when you have two batsman who aren't natural stroke makers in at the end though.

Irfan do your thing.

 

[adharcric]

275 is more realistic now. Come on Pathan, don't be like Dhoni now ... and for God's sake, don't give the strike to Venu.

 

[adharcric]

That's what happens when you have two batsman who aren't natural stroke makers in at the end though.

Precisely why you don't want to have 3 of these type in the side (Dravid, Kaif and Rao).
They should've played Uthappa today to maintain the balance between strokemakers and anchor-role batsmen.

 

[adharcric]

Someone kick Pathan's ***. Damn! Our "flexible" boys Pathan and Dhoni have batted like idiots on this tour.

 

[silentstriker]

..................


Wow, now there is a real danger of India not batting out their 50 overs....

 

[adharcric]

Please Powar. Please Powar. Please Powar.

 

[silentstriker]

Precisely why you don't want to have 3 of these type in the side (Dravid, Kaif and Rao).
They should've played Uthappa today to maintain the balance between strokemakers and anchor-role batsmen.

Though, unlike Kaif, Dravid has enough class to up his scoring rate and play almost any shot in the book. I agree with you though.

 

[adharcric]

It can't be that hard to take a single can it?
Wow, Venu is one of the worst late-innings batsmen I have ever seen in my life.

 

[Jono]

Sarwan bowling leggies now and bowls Powar
AA should have been sent in ahead of Rao

 

[superkingdave]

Sarwan in on the act, falling apart

 

[silentstriker]

India all out 250?

 

[Jono]

They should've played Uthappa today to maintain the balance between strokemakers and anchor-role batsmen.

Yeah I was thinking that when I saw the team as well. You know what makes it even more stupid that they didn't, its not like they had two regular openers playing, Dravid could easily have slotted back into the middle order and Uthappa could have opened. Uthappa in one innings has almost scored more than Rao in his ODI career. Just illogical really.
