India's tour of West Indies June 2011

[Harshshah]

Me too, Tata Sky provide HD for Star Cricket and Hence India England series in HD. But this series is too boring. Wont watch.

 

[Harshshah]

So India batting first, seriously I would have gone with Manoj Tiwary in place for Dhawan and would have gone with Pathan opening

and it seems Airtel and Dish people get Ten Cricket in HD

 

[Harshshah]

Does anyone know the list of commentators for this series?

 

[Harshshah]

A 130 odd score will be good enought and this partnership is going great. Badri as usual showing his class.

 

[SaiSrini]

Very good performance from Badrinath!! Rohit, Yusuf, Parthiv and Bhajji added good contributions. 160 to chase is a very good total to defend on these type of pitches. And good decision by India to play both Harbhajan and Ashwin (not going by the '2 offspinners, no variety' thing). Hope our bowlers can defend this total easily.

Hope Badri gets enough chances this tour and finally makes a big splash that makes the selectors not ignore him anymore.

Thanks a ton for the news. On to TCHD

 

[Harshshah]

From what I know, Tata has a channel capacity of 180 channels and Tata Sky is currently showing Roland Garros French Open in HD hence I feel that once its over from tomorrow, Tata will add the HD channel of Ten Cricket. But its too boring,no good crowds

 

[SaiSrini]

Why is Raina bowling Harbhajan at the start instead of Ashwin? Ashwin is a better opening bowler than Harbhajan. Its another thing that Harbhajan gave only 3 runs that over. But Ashwin has a better chance of picking a wicket.

So far, excellent start for India. Praveen is swinging it very well.

Edit: Anyone know who is telecasting this tour for USA viewers on the web? I am not going to go and get Ten Sports from Dish Network. I already have a Willow subscription and they say "this video is not available for your region"

 

[Harshshah]

This is going to be a good win for India knowing they were 60 odd for 4 and added 100 runs with just 2 wickets. West Indies have 8 wickets in hand but no one to hit hard

 

[Gurjot95]

You can imagine why airtel added tencricket hd for free for this series.

 

[SaiSrini]

31 to win off the last over! I guess India have this match in the bag because I dont believe we have any bowler who can bowl so bad as to give 32 runs in an over!!! I JUST HOPE SO!!!

 

[Harshshah]

India win by 14 runs and that was a good win. West Indies too batted well and got a bit close

 

[AbhishekS]

Wow, didn't know that we Airtel users were getting the match in HD for free and was watching it in SD!

 

[Harshshah]

Why were there no Indian commentators? This will suck more if there are no Indian commentators throughout the tour!

 

[SaiSrini]

Good win! More satisfying since we were pegged back at the start but we still came back well to win the game comfortably. Raina should try Manoj Tiwary in place of Dhawan and have either Tiwary or Rohit Sharma open the innings in the ODI's. These guys are all used to opening in T20 games and so opening in ODI's shouldnt be too much of a new thing. Praveen was good, but Munaf gave away too many runs. I think Ashwin will find it tough to get consistent chances now that Harbhajan is vice captain and also he got a few wkts today. But happy that Badri did well and he will play the entire ODI series (unless Raina has a brain failure)
