West Indies vs India | 1st ODI | Port of Spain | 6/6/11

[BaaliSoda]

17 for no loss after 3 overs

Despite 2 boundaries Dhawan's technique looks very shaky against Rampaul

 

[kashmiri_lad]

by Parthiv this time..

 

[kashmiri_lad]

India start positively..

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need to play at least till 20 overs to keep this match alive (D/L method will be available in case of rain at the end of 20 overs)

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

3 4s

 

[Statsman]

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Parthiv hitting the ball confidently..
Good to see that..

 

[iZaman]

So Harbhajan is easy to play )

 

[BaaliSoda]

PP gone Run out

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Parthiv here..
Poor Running..

 

[Statsman]

[kashmiri_lad]

Was looking good..

 

[Statsman]

comes in


Virat Kohli

 

[Statsman]

Virat, cool, calm and composed

 

[Statsman]

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli flops for the second time in the series

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Virat gone ..
BIG WICKET...faint edge

 

[Statsman]

A big humble pie to me

 

[Statsman]

Who will step up now? Badri again?

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need to be at least 100 for 2 or something close to it by the end of 20 overs for D/L method to favor us.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Supermaniam is in

But Rampaul looks unstoppable ATM

 

[Statsman]

^is it raining?

 

[kashmiri_lad]

We need to be at least 100 for 2 or something close to it by the end of 20 overs for D/L method to favor us.

I would doubt that..Because Westindies was also 35/2 and then 59/3..
So, we don't have to loose any wickets..and we will be good..

 

[BaaliSoda]

^is it raining?

Loads cloud cover around the stadium and medium rain is expected that's why

 

[CoolSERAZ]

rampaul vs us =we pwned each time.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

39/2 after 8..
50:50..as of now..and a beauty to start with from Rampaul..

 

[Statsman]

Commentator hell bent on trying his luck with the Commentator's curse

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rampaul is consistently hitting the ball at high 80's today (last ball 88 mph)

 

[Statsman]

 

[kashmiri_lad]

by BADRI..
Good shot..

 

[BaaliSoda]

48 for 2 after 10 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Dangerous Sammy into the bowling now

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Badri rotating strike at will..
Dhawan almost getting runout..

 

[Inswinger]

Bari seems to be one of those guys that even opposing fans can root for. Seems like a hardworking and humble person.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

badri is one of the unluckiest dudes around. averages 62+ in 1st class cricket!!! scores 50 vs steyn,morkel in debut innings and still isnt a regular in the side.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ground is getting darker by every over. Plz no rain

 

[BaaliSoda]

55 for 2 after 12 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Too many dot balls for my liking

 

[CoolSERAZ]

^^ t20 effect

 

[BaaliSoda]

Dhawan plz try to score at least single every three balls

Lats 4 overs these two have added only 11

57 for 2 after 13 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

^^ t20 effect

My worry is about these two putting themselves into bigger pressure by not rotating the strike regularly.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Whadda Beauty from Bishoo

 

[BaaliSoda]

Maiden over from Bishoo

Last 5 overs we have scored 11 runs

57 for 2 after 14 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Badri has gone back to his Test Match mode or what?

 

[CoolSERAZ]

pitch isnt easy for stroke making. rotating the strike is way to go. a boundary will be precious.

 

[Bleed_Blue]

No hater on this thread
Doesnt feel like PP

 

[BaaliSoda]

12 runs from last 6 overs

58 for 2 after 15 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

[TheHK16]

Doesnt feel like PP

pp is actually not that bad compared with icf in terms of hatred while iv been here

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Doesnt feel like PP

Its probably late night in Pakistan...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Badri is gone

Bishoo strikes

He has to blame himself for putting so much pressure by not rotating the strike in the last 6 overs

 

[kashmiri_lad]

BISHOO strikes..
BADRI goes..

 

[CoolSERAZ]

Out badri.

 

[Inswinger]

Its probably late night in Pakistan...

Never mind the fact that the majority of Pakistani members are based in the UK and North America.

 

[BaaliSoda]

We are in spot of bother now. Not even 100 on the board we are already 3 batsmen down.

Needs some sort of partnership from our remaining batters.

61 for 3 in the 16th over

 

[Bleed_Blue]

pp is actually not that bad compared with icf in terms of hatred while iv been here

Indian fans are pure fanatics when it comes to cricket.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sunny in the comm box successfully jinxing our batters today

Plz shut your mouth, Sire

 

[BaaliSoda]

Lazy Nohit nearly lost his wicket

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sunny is getting pwned big time by his own comments today, that too having someone like Bishop sitting next to him in comm box

 

[Statsman]

Now that's how you define Brain-fart

 

[BaaliSoda]

Nohit plz don't flop today (or at least till the score reaches somewhere near 150)

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bishop owning Sunny again

 

[BaaliSoda]

I am getting to see the ghosts of Zimbabwe series in which Raina was captain last year

 

[BaaliSoda]

66 for 3 after 17 overs

 

[Pakistani4ever]

dhawan is looking gud

 

[CoolSERAZ]

reqd rate shld be kept below 5.

 

[Pakistani4ever]

bhajji is the best spinner india have now ...

 

[CoolSERAZ]

bhajji did do well vs saf in saf. no htb there.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Nohit is living dangerously

71 for 3 after 18 overs

 

[Pakistani4ever]

ashwin is not as gud as bhajji !!! mishra is better to ashwin too

 

[BaaliSoda]

Despite Hindi commentary annoyance DD's coverage of the game has been very good. There is virtually no ad breaks between the overs

BTW, How is Ten Cricket's coverage?

 

[CoolSERAZ]

^^ ad breaks during cricket...

 

[Pakistani4ever]

sammy is bowling very well

 

[Pakistani4ever]

^^ ad breaks during cricket...

it is normal lol

 

[BaaliSoda]

^^ ad breaks during cricket...

Lolz

 

[kashmiri_lad]

India living dangerously..

 

[Pakistani4ever]

73/3 after 19 overs

 

[Pakistani4ever]

When was the last time an Indian batsman gave respect to a good ball by leaving it to go to the bowler?. I think the Indian batsmen are still in the T20 mode. We have such a good talent in the side but they are just throwing it away

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Its going to be a tight game..
This series is going to be a tight one...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yes! Sun is slowly but surely coming out now, which means we can have a full game and no need for D/L method to use
