West Indies in India Nov 2011/12

[aditya123]

This game is all topsy turvy. Fast Indian bowling and the Windies just clueless. Yadav is genuinely quick today. Simmons looked like he was feeling the pressure, but Samuels was very poor to get into a position to knock a legside ball back onto the stumps.

Is this for real? Never thought I would hear the words `genuinely quick` and Indian bowling in the same line ever. Jokes apart, really baffles me as to why India did not gamble with the quick bowling options in Yadav and Aaron when Zaheer was injured in England. In any case, they would have been far better choices than RP Singh who hadn`t played any cricket for months and was holidaying in Miami when he got called up. Even when Aaron was in the Indian ODI squad, we never tried him in the ODI series even when the friendly pace of Munaf, Vinay and Praveen was getting thrashed in the ODIs.

Commentators expressed bemusement that Russell came in after Sammy; the funnier thing is the guys that come in between Bravo and Sammy. Andre Russell should probably bat at 5 in this team.

Stroke of genius to bat the guys averaging 12-20 ahead of the guy averaging 30 at a S/R of 118.

2 wickets in the over but this Indian batting is far more then reliable. Gambhir and Parthiv out but look what we still have, Sehwag, Kohli, Sharma, Raina, Jadeja, Ashwin

Loving the Indian ODI squad with the return of Sehwag.

With Yuvraj & Zak fit this is unbeatable in any condition

Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
Yuvraj/Rohit Sharma
Suresh Raina
MS Dhoni
Ravindra Jadeja
R Ashwin
Umesh Yadav
Praveen Kumar/Varun Aaron
Zaheer Khan

----------

Well, well well!! 3 Down and 2 more to go before we started getting scared

 

[Paki007]

Good come back by WI after not being allowed by indians to score much.Yeah 2 more wickets here and India will feel the heat

 

[AngryPixel]

Simmons hit FOUR & SIX in two balls of Vinay Kumar. Vinay is not capable to be in any Domestic Team then why he is in National team???

Two words, "Kriss Sreekanth"


If everyone gets fit in time for Aussie Tour then we'll have a very decent pace attack for those conditions. (Zaheer,Ishant,Yadav and Aaron) I was surprised by the consistent pace of Yadav today. He was quicker than Aaron whole day. Lets hope Aaron isn't carrying any niggle coz i remember him being quicker than this in IPL.

4 wickets are down and perfect situation for Rohit to show his class again. Rohit is so elegant, reminds me of Inzamam.

 

[Paki007]

Another one goes and WI are seriously in the business now.

----------

ohit is so elegant, reminds of Inzamam.

Don't know what's he remid of but yeah he's a good calm player it's sad that because of so many good batsmen around he doesn't get regular chances

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Gone!!! Now we are in trouble and how badly did I jinx

 

[VC the slogger]

India 59/5!!!!!.Whats happening???!!!!!!!!!!They are crumbling in their chase of 212 and batting like bunnies.Credit to the West Indian bowlers for their aggressiveness.They are clearly taking advantage of no MS Dhoni in the Indian line-up.

 

[Sedition]

WI will throw it away as usual, no reason to worry yet Indian fans.

 

[Haarithan]

Exactly. Sammy just hasn't got a clue what he's doing right now...

----------

Bah, finally Roach's back.

 

[swacker]

In deep trouble here.

 

[Aalay]

Ashwin FTW

 

[aayush93]

Ashwin FTW

Anyway, rohit is batting so well. i have seen vinay scoring runs in domestic cricket. lets hope he gives support to Rohit.

Yeah. Vinay is a good bat. Recently got a 50 in a Ranji game There he is batting on 16. Another 20 to win. Still cant say. If they get one of these....

Better these two take the score till some 205 or so...or Best...212 itself....
