[Justcrazy]

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat

 

[Justcrazy]

10 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch looks tricky , WI would need at least 350 here.

 

[Ims1]

good move by WI playing 4 bowlers & Sammy . I like this attacking move .

 

[Ims1]

The pitch looks tricky , WI would need at least 350 here.

it is definitely a result wicket .

 

[Ims1]

Ind bowling looks thin & inexperienced .

 

[Ims1]

The 2 umpires in this match are not conservative but kind of trigger happy in giving lbw .

 

[Justcrazy]

11 / 0 after 5 overs


The pitch looks real slow.

 

[Ims1]

WI has 4 left handers out of top 6 .

 

[Ims1]

11 / 0 after 5 overs


The pitch looks real slow.

you think it is 2 paced ?

 

[Justcrazy]

good move by WI playing 4 bowlers & Sammy . I like this attacking move .

5 bowlers is a luxury. Do not see the 5th bowler getting to many overs.

Sammy is okay in shorter formats , but needs to see himself as a batting all rounder in Test , to justify his place and give right balance to the team. He needs to score runs consistently.

 

[Ims1]

Shami is bowling well . i wish bhuvi had bit more speed .

 

[Justcrazy]

you think it is 2 paced ?

Too early to say that, but naturally India could not afford a fast , lively pitch , considering the pace attack WI has.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle averaging around 42 , which is quite low considering the kind of batsman he is.

 

[Anfield]

Oh God Shami looks awful! His run up and action are awful. Quite short too.

 

[Justcrazy]

23 / 0

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch will get lower and slower as the game progress , batting last will be tough , no doubt.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashwin on , within 10 overs, shows how slow the pitch is !!

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[mithun_minhas]

Nothiing for the bowlers so far.

 

[mithun_minhas]

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumar gets Gayle

 

[Robbie]

Who is in worse form sachin or gayle?

 

[Anfield]

Gaye has lost stamina, patience and strokes to play the longer version of cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

39 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

Gaye has lost stamina, patience and strokes to play the longer version of cricket.

Gayle should not be a part of Test Team , he should stick to shorter formats.

 

[Justcrazy]

A lot will depend on how WI play Ashwin , He is the in form bowler
92 wickets from 16 games !!

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Robbie]

Powell is such a classy bat.

 

[chaiwala]

Damn he is looking good. Must relish these conditions.

 

[Justcrazy]

47 / 1

13 overs

 

[Saurav]

Gaye has lost stamina, patience and strokes to play the longer version of cricket.

he scored a ton in his last Test

 

[Robbie]

I expect ashwin to get bravo out.

 

[chaiwala]

Nice catch by Bhuvneshwar.

 

[Saurav]

good ball,great catch

 

[Robbie]

1st wicket for shami

 

[Justcrazy]

Both wickets to seamers here , poor stuff by WI.

 

[chaiwala]

Lol @ Gavaskar laughing at Ishant for giving Shami his cap.

[Justcrazy]

India on top here at drinks.

WI need some consolidation. They desperately need a solid Partnership here

 

[Justcrazy]

55 / 2

 

[Robbie]

Samuals looking murderous.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Gayle should not be a part of Test Team , he should stick to shorter formats.

He is here to complete 100 tests, WI wont persist with him beyond that I think.

 

[Justcrazy]

sACHIN SHOULD BE GIVE A FEW OVERS HERE

 

[Justcrazy]

65 / 2

 

[Robbie]

[Justcrazy]

75 / 2 after 22 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Samules needs to be careful , this is Test Match. You need to get 350 here at least

[ads101]

[ahamedirshad123]

[Justcrazy]

107 / 2

 

[Saurav]

I got this:

 

[Executioner]

Windies are a decent team. And the best batsman in this series is yet to bat and I am not talking about SRT

 

[jattafridi]

Well played Samuels 50*

 

[Justcrazy]

118 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

Ojha bowling good line and length as usual

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

122 / 2

 

[Justcrazy]

This is important phase of the game, it will be dull , but both batsmen and bowlers need to show patience.

 

[Kianig89]

Chris Gayle already back in pavilion

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 77 runs so far, WI need to carry on.

300 will not be enough , Indians will bat for long time here.

 

[Justcrazy]

128 / 2

41 overs gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Indians have brought the run rate down.

 

[jattafridi]

Dhoni drop the easy catch )

 

[iHammad]

Dhoni dropped Samuels on 60

 

[10sion]

Make it count, Marlon!

 

[iHammad]

If these two can bat until tea, then India might feel a little nervous about that WI 1st innings total.

 

[10sion]

And Samuels is gone.

 

[10sion]

Only added 5 runs after being gifted a life.

 

[Robbie]

Go shami!!

 

[iHammad]

Shami saved Dhoni there, India easily on top now.

 

[Saurav]

that was a brilliant delivery

 

[Electron]

Shami produces some good deliveries even on flat tracks. A huge upgrade over our Ishant Sharma.
