*Official* West Indies in India

[NasserFan207]

Sammy is starting to really annoy me btw. How many catches has he dropped this series. For someone who isn't particularly good in either discipline his fielding should be one place where he shines.

He does seem to put in important performances every now and then, otherwise the knives would have to be out.

Is Bishoo injured?

like the look of the new offie slowly windies is developing decent depth in there bowling department.

Is Bishoo injured?

Was injured in the final test. Hamstring or something, was bowling of one leg during the 4th innings

I think the Windies have given up on their oneday batsmen and are just going to focus on their strengths in that format: bowling and big-hitting allrounders

Simmons, Bravo and Samuels are all gun imo.

Simmons, Bravo and Samuels are all gun imo.

Simmons has done ok, Bravo has great potential and Samuels is fairly poor but makes up for it with his bowling and occasional matchwinning innings. Apart from them, the only WI oneday batsmen I'd rate would be Gayle and Chanderpaul, one of which is basically retired and the other doesn't play cricket anymore

Rohit was superb again, and good fight shown again. That's pretty much the only positive about that batting display.

Sehwag and Gambhir's form ahead of Australia is worrying, especially Gambhir. Raina needs to up his game too, while Parthiv is just being his usual mediocre self and can GAGF tbh.

No way should India have been struggling to chase 260 on that pitch at Ahmedabad, despite the poor death bowling.

 

[NasserFan207]

If you take into account how many times Sehwag's been dropped this series it looks worse. He is seriously out of form

On the positive side for India Rohit Sharma and Kholi are looking like the real deal

Would love to see Rohit get a run in the test side

WI thoroughly deserved this win. This Andre Russell has been very impressive, remember him scoring a lot when we went to the WI. The form of Sehwag and Gambhir is really worrying. With the rising stocks of Australian fast bowlers and the form of our front men I am worried to say the least. Also Rampaul WAG.

Think he will be eventually found out, like Mendis, but he could have a good year or two before that happens.

 

[ganeshran]

4 top order players - Viru, GG, PP and Raina have scored a grand total of 122 runs between them in the three matches played. No way we are going to win with that kind of consistently bad performance by so many players

 

[Pup Clarke]

Rohit factoid:

In matches where MS Dhoni is captain: 52 innings, average of 22.82, strike rate of 71.55.
In matches where someone else captains: 14 innings, average 103.12, strike rate of 88.32.

Where the hell did you find that stat?

WI should flip their batting order

I'm sure they're giving it their honest effort though, and they're good players. Stick with them imo.

 

[Athlai]

Gotta feel for the Indian bowling attack. They try hard and they make the most of their ability but at this level they're always going to struggle. The quicks just can't quite realise their abundant potential, while the spinners are hardworking toilers.

 

[Flem274*]

Haha yeah they just didn't quite have what it takes in that game to finish the tail, and that always hurts.

 

[Athlai]

If West Indies were at full strength they'd have dominated this Indian team. It must hurt for them to see the world's best limited overs opener score runs as a mercenary T20 player all over the world when they have to play Hyatt in his place.

Players do tend to become Hercules when they haven't played for a while. The WI may very well have won this series but dominated I don't think so.
