[Statsman]

Darren Bravo is :umarakmal?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Just 1 run from Ashwin's over

66 for 3 after 17 overs

 

[Fireworks11]

RR dropped to 3.88.

 

[Hando]

Mishra to Bravo, OUT, caught at deep midwicket! Bravo steps out to Mishra once again, he isn't quite to the pitch but he goes through with the shot, lifting the ball off his pads towards the deep where Manoj Tiwary moves to his right and takes a well-judged catch on the move. Bravo gives it away again. The Umar Akmal of West Indies?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Darren Bravo is :umarakmal?

IMHO, UA is much better batter than Bravo will ever be.

I also feel Jr Bravo is very much over hyped player

 

[BaaliSoda]

Spinners are doing good job so far for us

Maiden over from Mishra Ji

66 for 3 after 18 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sorry for the double post

 

[Fireworks11]

Simmons is the key wicket now, crucial phase of the game.

 

[Statsman]

unlucky there Mishra

 

[BaaliSoda]

That was nearly a wicket for Mishra Ji

Samuels had no clue on how to escape from it

 

[BaaliSoda]

50 up for Simmons in just 56 balls

 

[Fireworks11]

Well played Simmons.

 

[Statsman]

IMHO, UA is much better batter than Bravo will ever be.

I also feel Jr Bravo is very much over hyped player

It was regarding junior Bravo only

And how so sure? :iamlegend

 

[BaaliSoda]

77 for 3 after 20 overs

 

[Krishnan]

Well well is there something new in the game...Think west indies can just say 235 and start to bowl soon,and try to get india out

 

[BaaliSoda]

It was regarding junior Bravo only

And how so sure? :iamlegend

I am yet to come across any match winning innings or near match winning innings(or shall I say responsible innings with confidence against all kinds of bowlers) from Junior Bravo.

On the contrary UA had at least shown us the glimpses of what he can do with his bat in good number of matches (few of them by even winning it)

 

[Fireworks11]

Yusuf in to the attack now, bowling his off breaks.

 

[Fireworks11]

Mishra continues, he's kept it tight.

 

[BaaliSoda]

3 Maiden overs from Mishra Ji in his 5 overs

 

[Fireworks11]

Maiden, solid stuff.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yusuf should stop leaking easy runs

He has been having lackluster tour so far with both with bat n ball

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 for Simmons

 

[Fireworks11]

Badrinath saved a certain boundary there.

 

[Fireworks11]

:4 by Simmons

 

[BaaliSoda]

89 for 3 after 23 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mishra Ji strikes

Samuels gone LBWed

89 for 4 into the 24th Over

Malcolm the dreaded umpire's legacy continues

 

[Statsman]

 

[12cavalry]

he had a big stride in when the ball hit

 

[BaaliSoda]

Pollard is the new batsmen

Fair enough. But I just thought that 'ever' part was a little OTT. Gambhir was pretty okish when he started, but picked up late,

 

[down4whatever]

So, Windies cant play legspin at all?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Tough chance for slip

 

[Statsman]

was CLEAR not out

 

[BaaliSoda]

Problem for me is every commentator starts getting orgasmic when they see Jr Bravo comes to the crease as if he is the reincarnation of Legend Lara himself. Yes, I agree that he might have few shots which resembles the legend but rarely I have seen him click.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Manoj Tiwary into the attack (I am surprised)

 

[BaaliSoda]

Back to back 2s for Simmons

Half trackers in gallore (?)

Nearly took the wicket of Pollard

 

[Statsman]

unlucky Tiwary

 

[BaaliSoda]

Lucky 4 for Pollard

 

[BaaliSoda]

We need 6 more overs form Part Timers today

103 for 4 after 26 overs

 

[Statsman]

Tiwary is said to be the best Indian fielder at the moment

 

[BaaliSoda]

That looks close for Simmons

dangerman Simmons is gone

 

[Fireworks11]

WI need to maintain this till the 40th over.

 

[Statsman]

The kid looks nice tbh. Has to deliver though, agree with you there.

 

[Fireworks11]

Suicide, Simmons is run out.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ashwin is replicating Bhajji's work today (Containing Job)

7 overs no wicket 19 runs

103 for 5 after 27 overs

 

[Fireworks11]

103/5. The collapse looms.

 

[Statsman]

WI in tatters once again

 

[BaaliSoda]

The kid looks nice tbh. Has to deliver though, agree with you there.

Cool Stats!

Now we need the wicket of Pollard before he gets into any sort of form

 

[BaaliSoda]

5 more overs needed from Part Timers after this over

 

[Fireworks11]

Tiwary to Pollard should be interesting.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Just 3 runs from Tiwary's over

106 for 5 after 28 overs

 

[Statsman]

Ashwin is replicating Bhajji's work today (Containing Job)

7 overs no wicket 19 runs

103 for 5 after 27 overs

I think they have a strategy. One bowler will always try to contain. Bhajji said something regarding his job to contain during the World Cup.

Ashwin is very good at doing this.

 

[Fireworks11]

106/5. RR is 3.78.

 

[BaaliSoda]

4 runs from Yusuf's over

4 more Part Timer's overs needed

110 for 5 after 29 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

I think they have a strategy. One bowler will always try to contain. Bhajji said something regarding his job to contain during the World Cup.

Ashwin is very good at doing this.

I feel we should have gone with 5 bowlers (that means including Bhajji instead of one of the batters) today.

Stats, Don't you think our 5th bowler option is a big weak link?

 

[Fireworks11]

India should bring in a strike bowler instead of persisting with part timers.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Tiwary is doing good job after his average 1st over

Just 1 run from this over

111 for 5 after 30 overs

 

[Fireworks11]

111/5 after 30 overs.

 

[giri26]

tiwari is having decent control for a Part time leg spinner. Surely seems to be bowling better than Pathan.

 

[BaaliSoda]

3 more overs remaining from Part Timers after this over

 

[Rana]

Windies put up a much better effort than this in the world cup against a full strength Indian team! WTH!

 

[Fireworks11]

Pathan yet again.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Just 2 runs from yusuf's over

113 for 5 after 31 overs

Part Timers so far 7 overs 31 runs no wicket

 

[BaaliSoda]

Massive straight 6 from Pollard's bat off Tiwary's bowling

followed by a straight 4

 

[Fireworks11]

:6

Pollard middles one.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Lucky edge for Pollard

44 runs form Part Timers bowling so far off 8 overs

126 for 5 after 32 overs

 

[Rana]

:6

Pollard middles one.

finnaly!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Deft Touch from Pollard gives him 2 runs

 

[shahidafridi123]

finnaly!

Was Wahab really ur badman?

 

[BaaliSoda]

48 runs from 9 overs off Part Timers

130 for 5 after 33 overs

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ishant is brought back into the attack

 

[Fireworks11]

Pollard is just warming up.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Pollard is just warming up.

Looking for a hundred here.

 

[Fireworks11]

Looking for a hundred here.

That would be awesome.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

135/5 after 34 overs...
Westindies should score atleast 220...
Again should be a decent test for the INDIAN team...Meanwhile Westindies cruising..

 

[pun500]

sharma with some speed 88.4 last 2 balls

 

[shahidafridi123]

That would be awesome.

Yeah, would like to see some sixes here.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Russell HAS to come in next.
