West Indies in India Nov 2011/12

[VC the slogger]

Aaron's running was hilarious.Anyway he played a nice cut shot and Yadav played the classical on drive to clinch victory for India.However he will need to work on his running and improve it.
Aaron is a great bowler.Of all the ODI wickets he's taken so far,all have been bowled.Yadav is also equally fast and good bowler.I hope they retain their pace 3-4 years later and not turn out to be an Irfan Pathan like case.
It will be a heartbreak for all Carribean fans.The West Indies had reduced India to 59/5 and had every chance of winning this game.Darren Sammy's captaincy was not too aggressive and they let the Indian batsmen consolidate.Fielding was also casual and to win against India in India,you have to give 100 per cent on every department of the game.
Anyway,the way Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja played was brilliant.I hope they continue their form in the next 4 ODIs and also hope Sehwag,Kohli,Gambhir also get back to big scores.

Well, when Zak will be back it will be perfect for India. He will be the perfect mentor needed to nourish Yadav and Aaron and they both will learn a lot. Wish Bhajji was in good form, his guidance would have helped too.

Crazy match, no surprise that the WI let it slip away. Had to laugh at the Indian commentator demanding that the WI and Sammy face big fines for a slow over rate. I guess he wasn't paying attention when Sehwag and Kohli were wasting time, or when a fan threw something at a WI player, causing yet another long delay.

What???Something was thrown on a West Indies player??!!!!.I didn't quite notice it.When did this happen??

 

[Sedition]

It was somewhat early, I think just after the fall of the 3rd or 4th wicket. I didn't see anything thrown, but the commentators were saying as such and it caused a lengthy delay.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Well, Umesh Yadav has been brilliant this series. Hoping for an excited Australia series. We criticized the timing of the series but this has been more interesting then the England ODI series

Vinay Kumar to Hyatt, OUT, (Hotel) Hyatt checks in and departs immediately!

Vinay strikes and as usual West Indies are in deep trouble

for the Wicket of Samules credit should be given to sehwag. he kept the third slip and got reward. Till now he has set attacking field and bowlers have responded very well.

Not watching the match, so what's the wicket like? Typical SC wicket (slow and low) or one like the previous ODI (fast and bouncy)?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Fast & Bouncy!!

Sehwag's captaincy has been pretty good and aggressive! Its really good to see 3 slips in ODI cricket and 20 overs of fast bowling when the opposition are not good players of spin bowling

 

[Sedition]

Crap decision just as Pollard was getting things going for WI

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Darren Sammy is a piece of ???? and he just showed that!!

he is useless cricketer.

i can't understand How sammy is batting above Russell. in last match Russell batted below roach.

 

[Haarithan]

lol what happened? The more I hear stuff like these on Sammy, the more I'm pissed at the WICB for appointing him as the skipper.

in last match Russell batted below roach.

That sums it up. Sammy!

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Well, @ Haarithan - He played as usual down and got trapped. Russel batting below Sammy is also not a good decision

 

[Haarithan]

Russel batting below Sammy is also not a good decision

IMHO, Russell deserves to bat somewhere at the top 5. Sammy's incredibly under-estimating Rus's batting abilities.
