*Official* - India in West Indies

[BoyBrumby]

Botham would be spewing about that gap in the cordon for Ishant.

Bloody hell, did that carry? Yes, Dravid should've bagged that. Very sloppy.

C'mon Mishy. I suspect Dhoni has brought him on just so he can get a confidence wicket here. Really needs to for his own sake.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ishant has bowled well in this innings. I like that he's getting a little bit of movement both ways, just enough to put doubt in the batsman's mind.

Lucky boundary, perfectly placed through the slip cordon.

A bit like Finn at Lords though in the ENG v SL series, far too many wasted balls down legside. Sort that out and he will improve dramatically.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Was that the bosie from Mishra? Too good for the #10 anyway.

 

[Cevno]

Nice ball by Mishra gets a wicket.

Very good catch by Dhoni too.

 

[nsniks]

73 is a really good lead on this track

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. Spooned up to Raina at mid on. 173ao.

73 the Indian lead. You may kiss my ring.

 

[Cevno]

A couple of cheap confidence boosting wickets for Mishra at the end.

250 was always going to be a good score against this west indies side on this pitch,imo.

 

[Jacknife]

Very little fight shown then, very disappointing from a WI perspective.

 

[Manee]

73 run lead. Cannot waste this! Must bat West Indies out of this game. I feel that with our inexperienced bowling line up, regardless of the pitch, only over 400 is safe.

 

[Bun]

that's quite it with 3 bowlers and half.

now time for the batsmen to step up.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

India score 200 2nd innings they win easily.

 

[silentstriker]

Good thing Kumar's punishment came relatively late in the innings and it didn't really result in the bowlers having to overbowl too much. It could have been really bad had the WI hung around the bowlers started getting really tired.

You may kiss my ring.

I'm game.

 

[Manee]

India score 200 2nd innings they win easily.

We shouldn't need to put our bowlers under such pressure. Our batting line up should be able to bat to at least 300 against this West Indies bowling line up. I hope this turns out wrong, but Kohli is the only one who I do not back at this level, at the moment - the rest of the top eight are all capable of hitting centuries - it is just about one of them getting stuck in.

 

[vcs]

Some batsmen need to make up for their poor 1st innings efforts here.

 

[G.I.Joe]

We've got to stop playing our best batsman down at #8, for starters.

 

[vcs]

Mukund's bat is one big inside edge.

 

[silentstriker]

Looks can be deceiving but man he doesn't look like he belongs.

 

[Cevno]

Mukund looks not great there.

Kind of expected it though,coming straight from India and making his debut on not the easiest of pitches.

Will stand by him still ftr.

What a grubber
