WI vs India, 4th ODI- Trinidad

The 4th ODI is today in Brian Lara's home. BCL has been in pretty Tendulkaresque form recently but can he turn it around for what may be his last ODIs in front of his home crowd?

According to cricinfo the likely teams are...

India 1 Rahul Dravid (capt), 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Mohammad Kaif, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 Ajit Agarkar, 9 Ramesh Powar, 10 Harbhajan Singh, 11 Sreesanth

West Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Sewnarine Chattergoon, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Brian Lara (capt), 5 Marlon Samuels, 6 Dwayne Smith, 7 Dwayne Bravo, 8 Carlton Baugh (wk), 9 Ian Bradshaw, 10 Fidel Edwards, 11 Corey Collymore

A win here for the West Indies will seal what has turned out to be a very hard fought and exciting series.

 

[Easa]

At the beginning of the series most people predicted it to be 4-1 or 5-0. It will be 4-1 BUT for the Windies.

We've had three games so far and all have been decided in the final over. Will we have another nail biter?

 

[Hash]

I'm hoping for a Brian Lara special. I mean something really special........if he gets 150 or something. Not another tight finish please- just a nice, easy and comfortable win for the Windies!

 

[jusarrived]

please no more nailbiters....will be happy with a 200 run or 10 wikt win for india

 

[HAFRIDI]

Same here im hoping for a Lara special or a Gayle massacre ! inshAllah we will see one if not the other!

 

[UJ]

Something tells me Trinadad will be hit by a Gayle force wind today!!

 

[jusarrived]

I hope they play uthappa .....!

 

[inzidabest]

ha ha ha ha. Chappel called West Indian chokers. ha ha ha ha ha .
King of Indian cricket - Chappel. ha ha ha

 

[inzidabest]

I hope the King plays a sensational knock today.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

anyone have a link for watching it on the web?

 

[samisback]

hey inzi good to see you around matie.....long time and yes @ chappel......

i guess the great indian dream of winning a test series outside the sub-continent would remain a dream by the looks of it

 

[samisback]

please no more nailbiters....will be happy with a 200 run or 10 wikt win for india

yes, dreams might come true one day (when you play the likes of canada or kenya that is


i hope chris gayle scores a century , and so does brian charles lara (century atleast) how about sending both gayle n lara as the openers with sarwan to follow

 

[Rickz]

I think this one will be another nailbiter, its going to be tense for the Indian fans, theirs a good chance Lara will treat his homecrowd big today, and I'v got a feeling that the Windies will win the series today, I hope India wins today.

 

[Uzzy]

Really looking forward to this game. Hoping for a BCL century or a gayle-force destruction!

 

[jusarrived]

evry one seams to be hopin for BCL century here....shudnt you ppl be supporting your neighbours instaed,like we indians always do

) yeah whatever

COME ON WINDIES!

 

[akram_rejuvinated]

There is a good chance we will win today, since its been our middle order that failed us last time around, and primarily because yuvi was absent and as a result raina played higher up the order. If these two i.e. dravid and sehwag can whither the storm for the first 10 odd overs, we are going to post a challenging total.

besides, our bowling has been better than expected in the last two games. so no complains there. just need to post a bigger total.

 

[r_shahid]

Any link

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

come on get a wicket

 

[jusarrived]

Any link

hats off to you...very impressive first post!

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

whats your opinion on this west indies decision to bowl first the ball is swinging a bit, but i heard that as play goes on the cracks will widen up, so is this a good decision????

 

[Hash]

Sehwag OUT.

Bradshaw strikes

India 13/1 after 3.4 overs!

Good start by the Windies.

Both teams prefer chasing...pitch wont be much of a factor..so good decision!

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

a good start indeed

 

[samisback]

cav says sack sehwag and bring back SAURAV DADA...


i think if windies can restrict india below 200...then we are in business

 

[Hash]

India 15 for 1 after 5 overs.

They got some work to do here!

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

some good bowling here from windies lets hope they can keep this up and get a couple of more break through.

a score less than 200 would be great

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

good to see Collymore back in the windies side,

i thinhk his a good bowler after wot i saw him do agianst pakistan last year

 

[jusarrived]

I think its goin to be raina's day !

 

[Easa]

Dravid really struggling out there.

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

i dont think we will have to wait for another wicket to fall here
india are struggling out there

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

perfect batting by these 2 turtles. dot ball after dot ball. let the pressure keep building

 

[Rickz]

Its a good challange for India, they need today and the last odi to win the series, we have been in this situation many times before and we have come on top often.

 

[Rickz]

perfect batting by these 2 turtles. dot ball after dot ball. let the pressure keep building

Actually thiers no pressure, the last thing we want is another wicket to go down, they are playing intelligently.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

good thinking. keep saving the wicket by playing dot balls til the 50th over

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

outside edge for a 4 by dravid. top class. then he gets scared and leaves the next ball

 

[Oxy]

28 -2 off 9.1 overs

 

[Rickz]

Raina goes India 28-2 in the 10th over.

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

Bradshaw strikes agian

come on u windies

i got to say Bradshaw has got to be there top bowler in this series

 

[jusarrived]

I think its goin to be raina's day !

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

nice "save the wicket by playing dot balls" strategy..worked again huh

 

[Hash]

India are really struggling here.

They are going to need something special if they are to post a respectable total.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

typical indian response to a pressure game.......lay down and take it

Nice to see your concerns

Nice to see your concerns

I am very concerned.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

yuvrag just itching to give his wicket...looks mighty scared

 

[Rickz]

Lara made the right decision to bowl first, India are really struggling.

) no he does'ent.

 

[jusarrived]

Lara made the right decision to bowl first, India are really struggling.

still am pretty confident we will set a bigger target than last game!

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

of course lara made the right decision....its his home ground.....he knows the conditions better than anyone

 

[Rickz]

still am pretty confident we will set a bigger target than last game!

I think both teams will struggle a bit when batting. India might not even score over 200!, and the Windies in reply will struggle early on.

280-290 is my guess!

 

[Pathan007]

if India score around 250 then it's india's game.

 

[jusarrived]

if India score around 250 then it's india's game.

I doubt ,the pitch might play better n secn part of the game!

 

[Hash]

if India score around 250 then it's india's game.

At the moment we are into the 14th over and they are yet to get to 50 (having already lost two wickets). 250 is a LONG way away.

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

250?? they'll be lucky if they get to 200

 

[Hash]

India 45 for 2 after 15 overs.

Dravid not out 13 in a quickfire innings from 35 balls
Yuvraj keeping the scoreboard ticking with 9 runs from 22 balls.

 

[Pathan007]

Ind 45/2 after 15overs.

 

[z10]

) ) @ india

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

i reckon west indies will win this one

 

[Hash]

Dravid OUT

 

[Rickz]

Dravid out, 250 seems mils away from the situation thier in.

 

[Hash]

47 for 3.

Collymore the bowler....edges to Sarwan in 2nd slip

 

[Rickz]

India are struggling but I still think India will still win the Windies in this game.

 

[z10]

India are struggling but I still think India will still win the Windies in this game.

aslong as they don't win the match

 

[Saqib_Boss_Man]

Collymore strikes india are stuggling

collymore should had been playing in the earlier matches too

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

another majestic stand by a great indian batsman............looks to be another embarrassing and humiliating day for indian cricket

 

[Oxy]

51-3 off 16

Ind on the backfoot.

Dravid gone.

 

[Pathan007]

party time. kaif hit a 4

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

yuvraj will go next....and pretty soon

 

[Big Mac]

Come on Kaif, you can do it son

 

[Hash]

Bradshaw bowls his 7,234th wide

 

[Hash]

India 98 for 3 after 25 overs.

Good recovery here. Windies need a wicket.

 

[Rickz]

yuvraj will go next....and pretty soon

Did that happen?

 

[Rickz]

India have made a good recovery from 51/3 in 16th overs, to 110/3 in the 28th over, Yuvraj and Kaif looking good out their.

 

[Rickz]

280-290 is my guess!

Lets keep our finger crossed mate, Yuvraj and Kaif looking really good out thier, theirs still Dhoni , Pathan and Agarkar to come who are good aggreasive batsmen.

 

[Hash]

If these two can bat for another 10 overs......280 will definitely be on. Shame........WI have allowed India to get away with this.
