Watching the Indian middle order in this World Cup has been like watching the final years of the Roman Empire.

It's not the 268 that's incompetent, it's the scoring 268 from 173-2 after 32, 216-3 after 41 that's incompetent.

Ashwin may not be aesthetically pleasing with his bowling action, but he is one of the more effective spinner we have in the country. Only Indian Spinner with a properly disguised Carom ball which even Bhajji can't do :yk
 
Darren Bravo even looks like Lara now with the mooch :mushy
 
As a Pakistani fan, I care little for this match. I think WI and England are equally placed right now.
 
From cricinfo:

"Ashwin's carom ball - inspired by Ajantha Mendis - is actually better than the Mendis version."

Biased eh?
 
Darren Bravo is nice to watch. He is good player and i hope to see a good innings from him. I love his shoots looks like Lara
 
It's interesting
* West Indies RR 4.87
* Last 5 ovs 25/1 RR 5.00
* Required RR 5.47
* India RR (5.45) 5.36
 
Ashwin doesn't look too bad a bowler. If only he didn't have that tai chi action in his run up.

but mendis invented that bowl!!! wait till ashwin bowls a doosra... n they'll start comparing it with saqi's!

one shud never take away credit from the inventor!
 
Bhajji is scared of seeing Ashwin doing a fine job at the other end or what?

He is bowling some half tracker s*** to the batters :(
 
With Ashwin opening the bowling, will Munaf bowl in the middle overs?

Let's see how effective he can be.

Although I believe that Nehra would have been better as a middle over bowler. He's done well in the past while bowling in the middle overs with the field spread.
 
9.2
Harbhajan Singh to Smith, FOUR, rubbish bowling. Short and wide again, Smith cuts well in front of Raina and encashes a gift voucher that had four runs written on it.

Nothing new

As yet, India have used 1 review whereas WI didn't even use a single one when they were fielding.

For WI - There was absolutely no chance for using the review during Indian inning because there were not many balls that hit the batsmen pads or stumps
 
It can't get better than this for Ashwin. Bowling economically, got the first break through. And on the other side, Bhajji getting hit for fours.

As of now.
 
Coincidence that Kirk Edwards was the only batsman going at a fast strike rate, and Ashwin the only one bowling well and going for a decent economy rate? Both new to the side, and both have to prove their worth in this side to get picked for the next game?

Ashwin is giving problems to the batsmen, less with skill , mostly with his street smartness

:)) Mendis took the world by storm for >1 year, Ashwin's bowled in 8 games for 15 wickets, Mendis took 23 in his first 8 including a 6-13 :))

He's to Windies what Manjrekar is to Lankans :)))
 
Bhajji is continuing with his leg side line. Yet another boundary this time leg byes.

But Ashwin is more successful in IPL where Mendis is a failure :P
 
WOW thats a super rubbish deliveries in continuance from Bhajji. Another boundary.
 
Harbhajan asking for a phainty...
Damn, why don't leg byes count as runs conceded by the bolwer. USELESS RULE. USELESS.
Bhajji would have been at 27 runs from 4 overs.

Meanwhile
Ashwin too gets a phainty.... :six
 
Now a poor short pitch delivery from Ashwin gets what it deserves from Darren for 4

hes played all the matches in the WC and also has a 100 , hes not new to the side
 
Darren Bravo = Brian Charles Lara.

Reincarnate.
 
Ashwin to Bravo, SIX, Lara is batting in Chennai! The swagger, the backlift, the clean strike, the follow through, the finish. Bravo leans out to a flighted offie and slams it through the line well over long off.
 
why is dhoni insisting to keep on with spinners? why doesn't he bring his quick bowlers into attack? if he has any :P
 
How easily are we losing to Windies man :)))

We dont deserve to play QF, even Bangladesh defeated a good team. Bangladesh should be playing QF instead of us. We're a disgrace to the tourney, just a liability :(
 
looks like india is plying to lose

at this rate pakistan will be facing the australian in the semi finals, as windies will lose their qf's and we will win against england

Coz we don't have options, we are the arrogant brats of world cricket. We suck at bowling and we think we can still do with 1 good bowler, 3 average and 2 part time bowlers
