India v West Indies | 1st Test | Delhi | 6-10 Nov 2011

[James]

Is the pitch a knobbler then? Anything can happen if it is!

Its typical Kotla pitch, you never now what you will get.

 

[velu]

WI - 21/2 , Lead by 116 runs..
We can chase 300 in this pitch.

 

[OZGOD]

India still have a sniff. 116 runs down, WI with 8 wickets left to increase the lead. Definitely going to be a result in this one.

 

[style_guru]

Seems like India are still in collapse mode. Guess they are so shocked after England tour that even Darren sammy's dibbly-dobbly's seem like thunderbolts from Broad and Anderson

 

[Fireworks11]

Delhi delight for WI. India rattled.

 

[ash 68]

well done W/I

must be prespiring in India camp

 

[shan]

WI need to score 250 here at least.

 

[Statsman]

Dismal performance. Tomorrow's day will be crucial.

 

[Statsman]

Unlikely that India will win. I expect WI to score around 250 and give India a target of 350. Would be very difficult on this pitch specially with the form the batsmen have.

[majiz]

This was so, so predictable.

 

[ares1000]

The maroon cap is close to my heart. Hope the boys can win this one, adding another 150 odd runs tomorrow to lead by 270 odd.

That'll take some getting.

 

[Mohsin]

Windies 116-2 practically...india defo not out of this one.
Wont be surprised in Windies are bowled out for 150 (lead) tomorrow, with india chasing it down.

Windies need minimum 250odd run lead

 

[ares1000]

WI - 21/2 , Lead by 116 runs..
We can chase 300 in this pitch.

Really?

The ball is keeping low, dying. This pitch is taking good turn, anything over 250 is going to be tough to chase.

Hope Tiger and Bravo can get some big runs.

 

[ares1000]

I have thought this from the moment I saw him, but young Bishoo is a fine bowler. He will mature and master his craft and win WI many games in the future. Those who saw him in WI v Pak and India will know he has all the tools and a big heart.

Bishoo may spin the boys to a win here, it would be a huge win.

 

[cricketworm]

Wow. Lol. Haha. just saw the highlights, terrible batting. Pitch wasn't THAT bad.

 

[Looney]

nothing cheers me up like an Indian batting collapse )


WI , i hope you put at least 300 runs on the board to chase . Take your time and build partnerships and unleash the beasts in you when bowling .

Looney.. whats the reason for your sudden anti indian stance ??
WI - west indies

 

[Looney]

i am not anti - indian

it is just fun to watch

 

[ares1000]

Have nothing against India, but love WI cricket. Always by 2nd team.

 

[ares1000]

Can we keep this high up?

WI are our 'other' team ya nah!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I hope Darren Sammy pick up a 5fer in the 2nd innings. An Windies victory and I can celebrate Eid in Style.

But highly unlikely, India will bounce back for sure.

You never know. Sammy has been pretty effective on these up-and-down two-paced wickets in the past, e.g. Old Trafford and more recently, Providence.

WI batting has a tendency to collapse at will, however, especially against decent spinners. India still has a good shot at winning this Test. I'm sure there will be a result. It's been a fine game thus far.

Windies need minimum 250odd run lead

I think anything above 200 will be difficult to chase.

Chanderpaul the key today! If he scores a WI win becomes more likely!

 

[AlizeeFan]

Epic thrashing is on cards.

 

[Legend Killer]

Epic thrashing is on cards.

You should be used to being trashed in test matches by now

 

[Ruri]

A four or a six by the opposition is met with far less appreciation for the skill shown here than it is at an English or Aussie ground it seems.

 

[cricketworm]

Welcome to test cricket Yadav, his first wicket. Bowled Kirk, one of the dangerous batsman.

 

[iHammad]

West Indies lead by 148 runs with 6 wickets remaining

Windies need minimum 350 to have a chance of victory.

 

[pakistanbest]

What poor judgement by Kirk Edwards

152-4

Chander of the mark with a 4!!

 

[cricketworm]

Anything beyond 200 is hard to chase down, 350 is winner lead for WI.

 

[cricketworm]

Bravo goes to Ashwin! Phew that's relief!

 

[cricketworm]

Hahahaha Ashwin is the man. Got another one!!!

 

[chaiwala]

ashwin on fire!!!

 

[pakistanbest]

Ashwin on fire.

BOWLED SAMUELS!!

 

[cricketworm]

Come on finish it guys!!!

 

[pakistanbest]

Ashwin looking dangerous,

Windies need 300 here and the game is their but right now they struggling to get to 200

 

[cricketworm]

That was carrom ball, Samuels wicket!

 

[pakistanbest]

A Chanderpaul special is needed but an interesting stat is that whenever he has scored a 100, Windies have lost against India

 

[pakistanbest]

That ball looks like a throw

 

[cricketworm]

Chander!!! !!! Give it up Shiv!

 

[pakistanbest]

Will be interesting to see how Bishoo does.

Got a feeling Windies could defend 200 with their attack.

What an exciting match

 

[bluffmasterv2]

So this is Yadav? Lmao, looks like a monkey.

 

[sarmadsl]

less than 250 is not enough to win for Westindies

 

[sarmadsl]

Chanderpaul is the danger man

 

[pakistanbest]

So this is Yadav? Lmao, looks like a monkey.

Since when has looks won a team a match:rana

 

[rooster]

Hi guys!! I'm a new guy here. BTW it looks like India need a turner(from day 1) to win even against WI, their pacers doing absolutely nothing.

[pakistanbest]

have you slept atleast?

Been awake since 1pm and now its nearly 6am, thats nearly 17hrs I guess (not all on pp though)

 

[rooster]

Thanks everyone. 6am is one hell of an addiction mate.

 

[pakistanbest]

Thanks everyone. 6am is one hell of an addiction mate.

PP and cricket is an addiction even at the age of 20

Another wicket for yadav off Baugh

Time for a Sammy special

 

[chaiwala]

 

[siccric]

Sammy needs a score here. He hasn't performed well as a test batsman throughout, yet he supposedly plays in the all rounders role

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great bowling by India.

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

whose playing?

 

[Ruri]

Good counterrattack with Chanders. Only time though till he or Sammy gets out and its over. On the bright side, over 200 run lead, a defendable, barely, total.

 

[siccric]

Chanderpaul is playing really really well... I hope he carries on

He has batted brilliantly with the tail in the past. Hopefully he is returning to the form he was in during 2007-2008 season.

I wonder if anyone remembers his match saving century vs Australia in Barbados I think? He made most of the runs batting with the tail

 

[Itachi]

Sehwag said, "we are confident even if we have to chase 300+." india teams spirit is back!

 

[Misbah01]

Sehwag said, "we are confident even if we have to chase 300+." india teams spirit is back!

Lol, obviously he wont say he isnt confident lol

 

[Looney]

poor batting from WI , they had a great chance to win and boost their confidence . lets hope guys they are able to post a 250 + score at the very least .

 

[velu]

this guy chanderpaul will never get out against us

 

[JibranAnsari]

India need to get rid of the rest in next 5 overs. These 2 are looking threatening.

 

[JibranAnsari]

will india be number 2 if they win the series 3-0?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sharma working some good pace.

 

[Itachi]

India need to get rid of the rest in next 5 overs. These 2 are looking threatening.

this chander is a headache. Same like ranatunga and inzy. Indians just can't out them.

 

[pakistanbest]

Chanderpaul gone

Ashwin strikes!!!!!

 

[chaiwala]

 

[Genghis]

Chanders gone for 47 ... India well on top

 

[chaiwala]

Chanders gone...lets see if India can get a quick succession of wickets here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good riddance, Ashwin will give swann and ajmal run for their money.

 

[pakistanbest]

Time for some big shots from Sammy.

 

[pakistanbest]

Good riddance, Ashwin will give swann and ajmal run for their money.

At the moment, he has the suprise element, think he will be another Mendis

 

[Misbah01]

will india be number 2 if they win the series 3-0?

Yes, but if southafrica beat australia then india will be back to number 3

 

[Statsman]

Scoring fast - the only way out on this pitch?

 

[velu]

its anybody game now..
still hope we will scrap it
