Run feast expected - W.I v india (1st test)

[kablooee87]

Well played Windies.

This has been a very exciting series.

this was the first test...

 

[Easa]

I'm talking about the ODI's as well.

What cost India?

1. They choked
2. Dhoni crying for his hot water bottle and wasting 20 mins
3. Dravid and Jaffer going at half a run every 77 milleniums during their ridiculous partnership
4. Some fight from the Windies

Ultimately, India have themselves to blame.

Wrong!, WI played their hearts out to draw this test match, the Indian bowlers tried hard, but they could not get the final wicket, credit goes to Collymore and Edwards!

Some descions went agaisnt India, Gayle was defo out before lunch, if the decison was given than I think India would have wrapped it up before tea.

India trailed by 130 runs after a shocking display in the first innings and the windies batted pretty well and took a lead of 130 runs. India came back superbly and at the end of day 4, we were well placed. But still the windies were expected to survive or even win the final day but we fought with our bowling so well and almost got to the finishing line (1 wicket seperated us from the finishing line).

In the last session we fought back extremly well getting 6 wickets in the last session.

You summed it up but mate 2 or 3 wickets were give to you by the umpires !

So dont cry about gayle . . . .

remember all this against a WI team...so lowly placed in test table and before this India lost to a half strength England team and lost to Pakistan without Inzamam.

Enjoy team Chappel v WI - an evenly matched contest, after WI thrahsed team Chappel in ODIs

how about the decision which went in india favour? Lara was not out as well as chanderpaul and bradshaw

Chanderpaul was out, he got a bit of a slight edge on it, same with Chanderpaul he too got only a bit of edge on it, if you zoomed in properly I'm sure you will see that slight edge, I'm not sure about Lara's decision though, it looked out.

Lara acted like a idoit 2 days ago, and told Dhoni to shove off, Dhoni took it like a man, while Lara kept wasting time, it wasted about 3 overs, Ganga was not sure he took the catch at first, then about 15-20 minutes later, he said, 'I got him defo out, I did not toach the boundry.' Lara shown disrespect to the umpires,

Sure India lost 4-1 in a close fough series, no shame in loosing to them, and no shame loosing to England and Pakistan, it happens, what about the time when we nearly thrashed you 5-0 in your backyard?.

No shame in losing to a WI team which was whitewashed by every other team ..ha ha ha ha ha..Chappel said WI has forgotten how to win.

Sure that is Team Chappels only achievment beating Pak 4-1..but hey remember team chappel also lost a test to Pakistan and Inzamam was not playing..and comepletely dominated by a half strength England team....
of course if test cricket is important.
and this 4-1 loss is the worst in the last 7 years in ODI for India.
and drawing against England was the second worst performance in tests at home in the last two decades. Second only to SA loss(2-0) when Sachin was captain.
Dude you forgot..I am Indian and I hate Chappel

According to HOLDING


Taufel is much respected around the world and for good reason. But on the final day, he gave Shivnarine Chanderpaul out caught in the slips when even the fieldsman Rahul Dravid had appeared only mildly interested.

Agar dhoni ko out na diya hota tho dravid ka koi mood nahi tha declare ka. I think india wa lucky that they he went off as it saved some time. warna 9 behi out na hotay

Nearly winning you 5-0 in your ownbackyard, was much worser. )

Not to forget getting you out of the 96 and 03 world cup in front of billions of cricket fans worldwide, when Pakistan was in deparation of a victory.

Not to forget always beating you in the finals of a tournament U19 world cup, Abu Dhabi games and others. World class chokers! )

 

[akram_rejuvinated]

objectivity mutha fudgas!!! dont drag this into a war of attrition over words. focus on the topic at hand. the test match that india could not win. lets not talk about past india-pakistan series, the world cup or even decade old sharjah matches. please quit taking shots at each other and set aside personal dislike of certain players and loyalties and question the circumstances with neutrality.
