[Robbie]

Sunil narine will be licking his lips.

 

[prayas]

Dhoni drop bravo on 49

[style_guru]

7th bowler used by MS today. UV and Kohli can also bowl. That's 9 bowlers at disposal when playing on placid tracks.

India is the new SL of sub continent.

 

[prayas]

Raina complete 10 over spell

 

[adnan yasin]

power play in the next 5 overs????

 

[Robbie]

Powerplay overs coming up.

 

[prayas]

Jaddu back in powerplay

 

[prayas]

 

[Robbie]

If WI can score 100 in next 15 overs then this is their game.

 

[Warrior868]

Gayle getting injured is probably a blessing

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

If WI can score 100 in next 15 overs then this is their game.

Hahaha even if West Indies scores 500, will chase it with 10 overs to spare.

what a talent

 

[fumaster]

Anyone watching this on skysports? who is this commentator full of puns and clichés?

 

[adnan yasin]

8 RPO will be enough in power play

it will take the score to 193

no blindness needed

 

[adnan yasin]

Hahaha even if West Indies scores 500, will chase it with 10 overs to spare.

what a talent

yeah....he is a super cricketer..... i rate him very high.....

 

[prayas]

 

[nish_mate]

Bawys need a wikuut!!!

come on baawys.....

 

[Robbie]

Hahaha even if West Indies scores 500, will chase it with 10 overs to spare.

what a talent

pitch is pathetic. Cracks and low bounce and will deteriorate further.

 

[nish_mate]

Windies to win this one-Narine will trouble the desi boys....

 

[prayas]

 

[nish_mate]

bawys taken a wikut!!!

 

[prayas]

Darren bravo danger man
Bowled

 

[prayas]

Darren bravo danger man
Bowled

 

[Robbie]

A gem of an innings ended.
Bravo

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

pitch is pathetic. Cracks and low bounce and will deteriorate further.

Windies only has one spinner, Narine. The pacers will have a horrid time bowling against Dhawan and Rohit as both are on the form of their life. Windies needs to score 300+ to fire up the legend anything under 300, will retire himself out and let jadeja and Ashwin have some practice

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mohammed Sami strikes



what a ball

 

[Robbie]

Are we playing on sand here??
such a slow-low bounce wicket.

 

[prayas]

Captain bravo
250 is impossible

 

[prayas]

Captain bravo
250 is impossible

 

[nish_mate]

bawys taken another wikuttt

 

[Robbie]

Bravo Sr goes
jadeja you beautyy.

 

[adnan yasin]

Why Shami pace looks more then 135??

 

[prayas]

Can WI play 50 overs

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India will chase the target with 20 overs to spare now lol

won't even have to come out

 

[Robbie]

Shami is such a nice find for india.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why Shami pace looks more then 135??

He is fast

 

[Stark]

Shameful on part of curator/responsible officials.
Pitch is just awful.

 

[Swaraj!!]

For some reason I am simply not able to get up the enthusiasm for watching another JAMODI.

I have tried browsing through commentaries, through this thread, but just feeling like it's not worth the effort.

It probably isn't even.

On the contrary, the ashes match day 1 was phenomenal through cricinfo commentaries and I was "slightly aggravated" that I couldnt watch it live.

(Wow ... we have a pretty aggressive word filter active here. I used something that I never imagined was considered objectionable. But I guess better to err on the side of caution.)

 

[prayas]

"Everyone talks about the rules not helping bowlers, are pitches prepared to help bowlers?"

 

[adnan yasin]

Indian wrapping things up

225 might be the score

 

[prayas]

Is this summer??

 

[Warrior868]

Can WI play 50 overs

30 overs too much.

 

[Robbie]

Meanwhile unadkat bowling pies.

 

[KIC]

Anything you put on the board is a good score on this pitch. Batsmen can adjust to the ball stopping on them but how does one account for deliveries that suddenly keep so low? It will be a tough examination for the Indian batsmen.

 

[prayas]

Sami in test mode in one day and in t20 mood in test

 

[Robbie]

WI must believe that they can win the match. They have put up good total on this pitch.

 

[prayas]

Keshav Seshadri: "Looks like no team is able to figure how to select teams to win across all three formats. WI clearly can't pack a punch in anything except T20s, India have got their ODI and T20 squads figured out but still have to show what they can do in tests abroad, Aus have also got good limited overs players but are struggling in tests after Hussey, SL have two aging stars keeping them afloat in all 3 formats, but don't look like posing problems in tests, Eng have got a great test side but are never going to win an ODI World Cup unless they respect the format more, SA are the only team who can win all three formats with the same team, but are still not sure of how to win limited over ICC events, Pak can't bat and will always struggle to dominate against sides on good batting pitches. Time for more specialists for each format. Only greats can be matchwinners in all three forms."

 

[Warrior868]

My god Sammy is wasteful

 

[prayas]

 

[Robbie]

WI 205-8
Overs 45.0

 

[Robbie]

Another goes down

 

[ST1998]

Ashwin is an awful awful ODI bowler.

 

[Robbie]

WI 208-9
Overs 47.0

 

[Indiafan]

Boring match, pathetic pitch, meaningless series

 

[Gunner85]

Here it is about to rain.hearing some thunders

 

[prayas]

211 all out

 

[Ims1]

any rain predicted ?

 

[Gunner85]

any rain predicted ?

Here it is about to rain it seems.has gone bit dark and hearing some thunders.

 

[Sandeep]

We'll get home rather easily.. boring match! Aren't there any good teams left?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should have rested and

when was the last time was given a rest. the guy is the terminator of India

 

[Sandeep]

Kohli should come in at 6 for the heck of it.. Let Raina and Yuvraj get some time in the middle..

 

[ST1998]

It won't be as easy as you guys are sounding it out to be. Narine would be handful on this pitch.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Kohli should come in at 6 for the heck of it.. Let Raina and Yuvraj get some time in the middle..

I would say send in Jadeja, he needs so show his worth with the bat, send him early today

 

[Ims1]

Here it is about to rain it seems.has gone bit dark and hearing some thunders.

where is here ?

 

[Ims1]

13 for 0 after 2 . We should be able to win this .

 

[shahidafridi123]

Holder strikes

 

[battler]

Dhawan out!
Now watch kohli come out and hit his customary hundred

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dhawan out!
Now watch kohli come out and hit his customary hundred

hahahaha this has been the case all year

 

[prayas]

If he reach on 5000 in this match then he equal sir viv record

 

[ST1998]

Dhawan gone cheaply again, Kohli starts off with a sweetly timed boundary.

 

[ST1998]

So Dhawan and Rohit miss the 1st chance to break WR of 7 100+ opening partnerships in ODIs in a calender year.

Previous record belonged to Tendulkar and Ganguly who had 6 100+ partnerships for opening wickets in 2007.

Never knew both of them as opening pair were that successful so late in their career.

 

[Haripotter]

Should have rested and

when was the last time was given a rest. the guy is the terminator of India

Zimbabwe series I was rested ....

 

[Ims1]

they are showing srt's 5-50 against PK .

 

[Haripotter]

:4 by Umar Akmal

 

[ST1998]

"Is Shikhar Dhawan's purple patch slowly turning brown like a litmus paper. Have to wait till the SA series till it turns yellow-mellow."

Is it, I doubt it.

He played quite well in Ind-Aus series. Got some goodish scores in the test series against WI. Of course, you can't expect anyone to score 50+ in every game they play.

 

[prayas]

Sachin tendular take 5 wicket 2 time in Kochi
one against australia and other against pak
