WI need to play smart from here on. No Rampaul today so this pair needs to bat sensibly with calculated risks.
 
this tour should be the end of two careers - Sammy and Patel.
 
still 73 to get, RRR in control. Just look to bat out 50 overs and they should be home.
 
WI needs gayle badly .. they have no opener
plus dwaye bravo should come back
 
they need to play cool for a while. Concentrate on singles.
 
The moment windies started to think about victory,they started choking
 
Hi guys,

didn't knew there was a match today...got to know when WI was batting....

can't watch it...lots of work to do

Hows Irfan bowled?

37.1 Pathan to Pollard, no run, 112.6 kph, length ball on leg, slower one too, defended by Pollard

the number looks scary

but he's taken 2 wickets...has he got his form back?

got his swing back but looks short of match practise. few really good balls among some very ordinary deliveries.
 
37.4 Pathan to Pollard, 1 wide, 99.1 kph, big wide down the leg side, and Parthiv Patel does well to collect this one cleanly

What theeee fooooook...

is this for real? :facepalm:

Thanks. He needs to step up with the speed....its too slow...even by the standards of the guy in my avatar...
 
Rahul Sharma 93.7 kph, Irfan Pathan 99.1 kph...

Reminiscent of the Kumble - Prasad days...

he has never been fast, today he was around 128-135. what you quoted were slower deliveries btw so not that bad lol.
 
pollard still fighting - clean hitting today. pure entertainment.

Well,

39.4 Pathan to Pollard, SIX, 101.8 kph

39.3 Pathan to Pollard, SIX, 110.5 kph

39.2 Pathan to Pollard, no run, 102.2 kph, another slower ball, mis-hit towards extra cover, Raina makes a diving save to his right

39.1 Pathan to Pollard, no run, 107.4 kph, slower ball, on the pads, pushed back to the bowler

:P
 
apart frm 2nd test and 4th ODI Westindies have really done well
Fighting sprit is in team
 
Whatever be the result of the match. 2 very big positives for India - Tiwary with his batting and Rahul Sharma with his bowling (last match included).

IMO Pathan is still the same, good batsmen will tonk him all over I fear.
 
LOL - can you read slower ball there? that's what they say on commentary but wouldn't be surprised if he bowls around that.

4 balls out of 6 in an over around 100 kph, that means 125-128 are his effort balls.

:P
 
no matter what happens - it was a treat watching Pollard and Russell.
 
Lol - that was a sitter. He will be crucified if Pollard takes them home.
