*Official* - India in West Indies

[Nate]

Where was the pressure? Such odd captaincy.

 

[Austerlitz]

I hope haters stop with the nohit chants now,i said all along this guy is the real deal.[see my sig]
Should have picked the test side after odis u dumb selector pricks,and taken udrs too.

 

[morgieb]

Haha I'm not sure if the Worst Indies could beat India minus 4 of their best 6 players.

 

[Jono]

ROHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

wag

So happy for him.

 

[vcs]

Good win.

Praveen Kumar should get a few chances to bat higher up. He bats with responsibility and was inducted in the team initially as an all-rounder.

Oh and did Kohli act like a prick again? Nothing new. Last match he was trying to tell the umpire when to call a wide ball.

lol, last match it was the keeper whom ump was admonishing 4 overappealing. commies got it all wrong. howezat am curious as to how selectors have made it a habit to pick guys only based on odi form. again, its a reasonable indicator of form, so if badri isnt performing, he might get cut.

 

[Bun]

the match looked dead and buried for me at 97 for six and pathan back in the hut, but what knocks from harby, rohit and p kumar!

**** u harby haters, but he's pulled india out of many a situation with the bat over the last few years.

coming back from the dead has been a noticeable change after india became a champion team. Now they've done it without their key players. six of them. bcci's decision to send in a second srring team looks like a masterstroke.

well, windies had a good chance to embarass us, but squandered it.

 

[GotSpin]

Already expected Windies to get thrashed in this ODI series. Expecting a much better turn out for the tests though. So sick of limited overs. yawwnnnn

 

[Shri]

The test series would be a no contest if Mishra maintains this form. No one has played Mishy well in this series.

 

[honestbharani]

If Badri doesn't perform in the next two matches it's bound to keep him out of the Test side. Unfair that Ranji runs seem to count for so little but the Indian selectors seem convinced by using ODIs to audition Test players.

Anyway, still Raina and Yusuf to come in, and this is still India's until one of them is back in the hutch.

Raina has had a bad series too, though...

Yeah seriously wafg mishy.

heart goes out to the fans who still stand by this windies team. wonder how big an influence gayle could've been in this series.

 

[Bun]

if we blank windies 5-0, which looks more of possible than probable now, we will reclaim no.1 spot in icc odi rankings as well....

 

[Athlai]

With a 2nd XI to boot.

 

[GotSpin]

Think Lil Bravo should come back into the next game. If Pollard has to stay so he can bowl I'd have him replace Edwards then.

The only good thing I see from these ODIs has been a slight improvement in Sarwan. Really need him to fire in the test series along with Chanderpaul

 

[Number 11]

With a 2nd XI to boot.

They're playing a Windies 2nd XI tbh.

Danza Hyatt is just .

Didn't realise they were playing the first choice West Indies side?

 

[Cevno]

True.

Has been very good so far and the west indies have been clueless against him.


If he keeps this up in the tests too ,can see him being a asset in England too.

Where it would become interesting who we play play.

 

[Cevno]

Raina said that India will be trying out the remaining players like Manoj Tiwary, Saha ,Ishant,Vinay Kumar etc... in the remaining 2 matches.
So bit of third 11 too.

 

[Cevno]

Didn't realise they were playing the first choice West Indies side?

Doubt they would pick anyone else except Gayle and Barath in any case in this team.

 

[GotSpin]

Gayle
Barath
Jerome Taylor
Fidel Edwards
Chanderpaul
Sammy (Playing)

These are all the selection issues. Granted, India are presenting a 2nd XI by choice but it doesn't change the fact that this is a much weaker Windies side than its potential best.
