19th Match, Group F: West Indies v India at Bridgetown

[SciD]

This is hopeless performance from Jadeja. I can't understand why we played with only 2 pacers.

Who would you have played? We have no one. :laugh

 

[Dutch]

Oh my, Mr Gayle sure can hit a ball!!!

 

[Flame_Blader1]

Yeah if Zak and Nehra are bowling like this. I can only imagine what Vinay would have gone for D:

EDIT: 2nd T20 hundred for Gayle =O

very good innings

 

[BKB1991]

Vinay Kumar would have been alot better. I like him, he is the bowler that bangs the bowl hard and I think he would have been better in these conditions.

 

[SciD]

Vinay on normal day goes for 9 RPO. Today that would have been 18 RPO

 

[BKB1991]

Every tournament Gayle has a one big game. This is the one this Championship. Heading over to see the highlights!!

 

[blazerix]

The target is gonna be way too high.

 

[SciD]

Bravo gets early Birthday gift.

Zaheer is injured also now

 

[aus_maestro]

Brilliant stuff from gayle. 170ish will be more than enough for the 'next gen' indian batsmen :laugh

 

[Dutch]

Excellent innings from Gayle, shame he missed the 100

 

[Flame_Blader1]

170... could have been a lot worse I guess. Hopefully India don't lose too many wickets in the first 6.

 

[SciD]

:banana2 Only 170.

We should get this in 35 overs. Wait this is 20-20.

 

[SaiSrini]

Apart from Harbhajan, that last over from Nehra (the final ball notwithstanding) was the best one for India so far in this game. Nehra is a excellent death bowler (the 48th over, he bowled superbly apart from that one six from Pollard which Yuvraj thought was coming to him within the 30 yards circle but it was actually 30-40ms outside the boundary:laugh.

The commentators keep saying 'good batting conditions, WI could have scored 185' but they arent factoring in the no-quality of India's fast bowlers and the quality of the WI quicks like Roach and Taylor. We have definitely given 20 runs too many.

Ha ha.... I agree with you there! With this team, even 35 overs would be less. The help Sri Lanka got from the WI fielders in their last game, we need similar help if we got to get any close. Especially, Raina needs that help from the opposition fielders because thats the only way he can get those big scores (highly over rated player).

Brilliant knock by gayle but the question is, is the target going to be enough considering how long the indian team bats.

 

[SciD]

Only Yuvi can win this game for us and unfortunately he will get out withing 0-9 runs.

Its quite embarrassing to see Indian batsman struggle against bounce.
