India in West Indies, 2009

[Amiya]

And in Indian Subcontinent? Is it Ten Sports?

LOL I was saying India team members when return to India will be suffering from SWINE.

Anyways I hope they see videos of last time we played ODIs here for any motivation.

Ten it is.

Hmmm. Will have to contact Cable operator then. Anyway, i hope india will play a good cricket and get a win here to gain the momentum.

You guys aware that after this series Indian team will have a break around of 80 days(?) from 5th July to 24th September. Long break which the Indian players need at this moment, for preparing for the Champions Trophy.

Ya it's a 3 month gaps after a long long 4 years.

India bat, Darren Bravo debuts

Thank You for playing Karthick.

But Gauti is Idiot. You have full 50 overs to play and can leave some short balls. Guess 20-20 has spoilt his game.

@ Rohit Sharma - looks like some people just dont learn. What should have been slashed over point for six result in wicket.

Awful technique again from the Indian batters when playing the short ball. Just flicked it on and saw Gambhir's dismissal, and frankly if he played in an era without helmets against the likes of Thomson he'd have been screwed. Shocking attempt at playing the short ball.

Just seen the India XI also, and it's not the longest batting line-up is it! Once one of these 2 goes, there's only Dhoni left who's actually proven he's good enough at International level. Jadeja's got a quality List A batting record, but that's all because of a load of not outs and then Yusuf Pathan who's not the strongest International batsman. Good in the IPL but has yet to do anything in International cricket. I'd have gone in with another batsman personally.

 

[SciD]

He was compulsive puller earlier as well but did not got out that often to short balls. But when you are getting out in some fashion maybe you should put some mind in tackling that problem. i hope with the amount of cricket they have lost it up there.

Lets not forget that this is by no means a full strength Indian batting lineup. Just throw Tendulkar, Sehwag and Raina (inspite of his short ball woes) in there and the lineup would look pretty much perfect. Even for this game we still have guys like M.Vijay and Badrinath on the bench. Iam not too worried as of yet.

A full strength Indian batting would be:

S.Tendulkar
V.Sehwag
Gambhir
Yuvraj Singh
S.Raina/Badrinath/Rohit Sharma
Yusuf Pathan/Ravindra Jadeja
M.S.Dhoni

Coming back to the current game, India would be looking at a 300+ score now, especially with Yusuf and Dhoni to follow and a batting powerplay in hand.

 

[SciD]

I am seriously doubting indian batsman mind setup. When you have Yuvi hitting boundary every over for last 10 overs at other end why will you try to play scoop shot. Is this 48th over of the game.

Seriously gifted the wicket again and in comes Dhoni who will start test cricket.

 

[playkid12]

I really hate Dhoni now. He needs to stop with this gay nudging technique.

 

[SciD]

Thats the way to go to century. Smack 4,4,6,1,1. The cars in parking have been distracting Yuvi. hats why he keeps hitting balls there.

 

[Leggie]

I really hate Dhoni now. He needs to stop with this gay nudging technique.

Seconded.

Yuvraj Singh Sixer King on fire here. Boundaries coming at ease.

OK Dhoni's technique is really starting to piss me off. He's playing exaggerated defence strokes to Benn in the Powerplay overs ffs.

I take that back slightly. What a 6.
