Story Caribbean Flavours - PAK In WI | 1st Test | Result Is Out | Shocking!!

Yes, that is actually not his fault. But, that is why I'd prefer some screens maybe and a small video showing important events. Not that this is not good but may very well be worth trying.
 
Yes I completely agree, It's not Rohit's fault :)

He is now just posting highlights and other writings :)
 
Have been silently reading this story since the start as Guest user, but have to say - One of the smooth start to the stories. I would be surprised if SA looses here as it wasn't an impressive batting display from Windies in the early stages.

Good luck, keep it going :)

1st T20 @ Sir Vivian Richards Stadium

20oversummary.jpg


116/3 at the end of 15 overs and it's just got West Indies 1% back into the game.They need exceptional bowling in this last 30 deliveries to set up a major upset here. West Indies fans are here in stadium to see West Indies win.

The start from South Africa was pretty normal with Kallis and Duminy picking up singles well. That is actually what they needed.Soon Duminy decided to finish of the match early and hit few good shots.

West Indies then helped South Africa's run chase with some poor misfield around the boundary area. Kallis soon joined Duminy and they finished the innings of South Africa pretty early.

One happy thing before the loss was Chris Gayle coming into attack in the over where only 2 runs were needed and took a wicket on the very 1st ball of Kallis.

West Indies soon set an umbrella field setting and Alviro hit four on the first ball giving South Africa a 1-0 lead in the series.

whole T20 game in just 4 paras? Some more writing would make it as an interesting one because you didn't even talked about the wickets. probably you have to take your time in this. on the positive side, the presentation looks simple and clean.

The whole T20 game is not on Para, if you read previous updates.

That 4 para is only for over 16 to 18.3 and Post Match Presentation is going to be followed :)

Please read all the previous updates well ;)

You should say what 'it' is - the economical bowling or wickets, etc. It should also be 'the West Indies' instead of just 'West Indies'. Also the phrase '1% back into the game' is not really the best wording of that. It probably would have been better if you had used a word instead of a percentage. I'm not really sure what you could have written instead though. I probably would have said that they had a glimmer of hope or something like that.

They need exceptional bowling in this last 30 deliveries to set up a major upset here. West Indies fans are here in stadium to see West Indies win.

Should be 'in these last 30...' - just a general grammar thing. Because there are more than 1 delivery remaining you use 'these'. Again, it should be 'The West Indies fans' and 'the West Indies win'

The start from South Africa was pretty normal with Kallis and Duminy picking up singles well. That is actually what they needed.Soon Duminy decided to finish of the match early and hit few good shots.

This section is pretty good. It feels slightly disjointed because of the short sentences, but that's not always a bad thing.


West Indies then helped South Africa's run chase with some poor misfield around the boundary area. Kallis soon joined Duminy and they finished the innings of South Africa pretty early.

Because you've used the word 'some', you are referring to more than one misfield and therefore it should be 'misfields' or 'some poor fielding'.

One happy thing before the loss was Chris Gayle coming into attack in the over where only 2 runs were needed and took a wicket on the very 1st ball of Kallis.

West Indies soon set an umbrella field setting and Alviro hit four on the first ball giving South Africa a 1-0 lead in the series.

That first sentence isn't structured too well. 'the over where only 2 runs were needed' could be changed to 'when only 2 runs...' and then a full stop placed after it. Then you could start the next sentence by going 'He took a wicket...'


Apart from that, the grammar and spelling was pretty good. A few small things you should fix, like the use of 'The' before West Indies, use of plural terms when referring to the singular, and vice versa, and a few issues with sentence construction, but apart from that there were no huge problems were I couldn't understand what was said, and no spelling mistakes (that I could find!).

A pretty good update, and the way you use youtube is great.

That's a pretty good help for me :) Really appreciate your effort
 
Chanderpaul and Sarwan should now think more about fishing in Caribbean than T20s. ;) In particular, Chanderpaul. This guy should think of playing only the test matches.

Time Moves On....

Not so long when I started playing this game in West Indies color, my exams ,made me stop this but it was on pause the whole time actually. Here I am continuing the story with current time. West Indies have lost 1-0 to the world number 1 test team in the recently concluded Test Series and lost 3-2 in ODI's against Indians. West Indies have a tight schedule ahead of them and with all issues regarding Gayle in the side, will the side rise or sink?

West Indies are playing 10 Test matches,18 One Day Internationals, 3 20 Over International & 2 First Class & 1 List A Match. A lot to play for the Caribbean team who looks to be strong when playing in home conditions but looks out of sought when playing in away conditions. With the fight they gave against the Indians it could be hoped that this West Indies team wont give up and will fight hard. The issue regarding Chris Gayle will be soon solved before the home Pakistan series and the team is expected to be announced in a day or so. Hoping for best for West Indies.

No Gayle & Sammy Continues To Captain

Ernest_Hilaire_WICB-450x350.jpg

Ernest Hilaire WICB Chief Executieve Announces 12 Men Squad For 1st Test Against Pakistan

WICB Chief Executive Ernest Hilaire today along with Darren Sammy have announced 12 men squad for the upcoming 1st test against Pakistan. The WICB have continued to overlook Chris Gayle for this test. Ernest said "Chris has been an integral part of West Indies cricket since a long time and with a meeting in 2 days time, his fate will soon be decided." Ernest also spoke about Sammy's captaincy he spoke "Sammy has done great job with his captaincy and his playing. He is currently not in best of his form but he is gradually improving and will do good for West Indies cricket. The previous captain(Gayle) has set high standards with his batting being so powerful has worked against Sammy but he has been a great sports person for the country".

Sarwan missed the first test with broken finger and is ruled of for this test. Jerome Taylor has replaced Fidel Edwards who has a viral fever and is out for this test match. Ravi Rampaul is another addition to the injury list who is out with hamstring is expected to be fit for the One Day series of this tour. With injuries surrounding the team and Gayle issue not solved, hope West Indies play and fight hard as they have been known for.​

Squad For The First Test

Expected Lineup For The First Test - A.Barath, L.Simmons, S.Chanderpaul, M.Samuels, D.Bravo, DJ Bravo, C.Baugh † , D.Sammy * , J.Taylor, D.Bishoo, K.Roach

1st Test @ Windsor Park Dominica
416281.html


1sttesttoss.jpg


Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first on this first test Day 1. Azeem Ghumman & Nayyar Abbas were the two players who debuted for Pakistan. West Indies had Dwayne Bravo back in their squad also Jerome replacing Ravi Rampaul & Fidel Edwards being replaced by Kemar Roach.

West Indies started poorly by losing Adrian Barath out LBW to Riaz Afrdi. Riaz Afridi who last played in 2004 against Sri Lanka in his only test so far, looked dangerous in his spell.

After the wicket of Adrian Barath, West Indies had a steady partnership with Lendl Simmons & Darren Bravo playing slowly but giving West Indies a strong base until Nayyar Abbas storm came and destroyed what could be a West Indies session.

Just an over before lunch, Nayyer Abbas was given the ball and he picked up 2 wickets. First Lendl Simmons was out LBW on 29 and then 3 balls later Shiv Chanderpaul the man whom West Indies rely heavily due to his experience was out LBW on 1. This session overall belonged to Pakistan who picked up 3 key wickets.

Overall there was desperation seen from West Indies side but they lacked to execute the plan well. There were some good shots and some poor shots, some misses and some good seam bowling. Pakistan had a better plan and executed it well and West Indies did not succeed in counter attacking their plan. Hope for a tougher Session 2.

Scorecard At Glance

1sttestday1lunch.jpg


Highlights Of Session 1 Lunch


West Indies bat deep down the order with Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo, Carlton Baugh, Darren Sammy next to come. Will West Indies fight back will be interesting to see. On the other hand the debutantes have done well with Nayyar picking up 2 wickets in 8 overs & Riaz Afridi picking one wicket, the Pakistan bowling looks fine for the task. Join us shortly for the next session.
