*Official* West Indies in India

[ganeshran]

haha theyd have to score 500 tomorrow, imagine!

You never know. Chanderwall just might pull it off.

 

[silentstriker]

So over under before yadav starts bowling at 128kph?


I say four months.

 

[Contra]

Reckon our pacers lose speed because they get told to concentrate on "line and length" after there initial success. Seriously it's gay. If you got in the team because you could bowl fast then keep bowling fast <_<

 

[wellAlbidarned]

No player should get picked "because they bowl fast". They should get picked because they take wickets.

West Indies have announced ODI squad.

Squad: Darren Sammy (capt), Adrian Barath, Darren Bravo, Danza Hyatt, Anthony Martin, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Kieran Powell, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons

 

[TT Boy]

Only Afridi has a better six to matches ratio than Darren Bravo in test cricket.

Commentators now talking about how flat the wicket is, yesterday they were talking as like it was a minefield.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

"How about allowing the bowling team to keep both the balls(old and new), so they can use best spin and fast bowlers simultaneously and thus attack more. Will surely break the monotonicity of tests and make things more interesting."

Thoughts, anyone? Would remove the whole tactical dilemma of when to take the new ball tbh.

Bit unfair on the batsmen, for example they'll have to adjust after every over if someone is bowling with the new ball from one end and getting conventional swing while on the other end someone is reversing it.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeah, would have to agree.

Holy **** just noticed Sharma's lost the hippie-caveman look.

 

[NasserFan207]

I've always believed tampering should be legal (as in you can rough the ball up with your nails, no foreign substance should be used).

 

[Contra]

Chopped on!

 

[Contra]

Samuels looking really out of sorts this tour.

 

[Daemon]

Yadav was obviously not putting enough effort earlier on. Now that he's got the wicket his pace is back up. Don't think that's the way to go about it, he should be putting in effort every ball.

EDIT: Cricinfo's speed guns suggest otherwise..

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Bravo is one strange batsman. 7 fours, 4 sixes, yet a S/R of about 50.

 

[shankar]

Yadav's somehow drastically improved his wrist action this match. Hitting the seam consistently. In contrast, Ishant's release is all over the place. But Shastri's saying he's looking in great form for Australia

Being told to concentrate on line and length is homosexual?

We don't have an official consensus yet, but I strongly suggest you refrain from using the word "gay" like that in future because you never know who might be reading.

Enjoy the match.

Ishant is bowling quicker than normal here. But seems to be a bit wayward.

Huh? Oh.. I thought it'd be covered by the censors like most other words are. My bad lol.

 

[Daemon]

I think he has trouble against righty lefty combinations. Over compensates on his line for the lefties and doesn't make the batsmen play enough.
