Windies vs India, 3rd Test, St.Kitts

C'mon West Indies! Taylor needs some support!

241-6 LUNCH.
 
cmon windies lets gget this indian team before they reach 380!
 
New ball taken, Collins and Taylor to bowl with it. They need to get Laxman.
 
Great shot, straight drive, FOUR.

I can't believe I'm saying that about an Indian player
 
a day and a half to take 14 Indian wickets and knock off any remaining runs? If Windies win this game it will be less because of the Windies, moreso because India play absolutely horribly from here on.

wouldn't mind that though...

Of course not, because if the series is drawn (the least that will happen if WI win) then England vs Pakistan is a contest between the #2 and #3 teams in Test Cricket. Although, even then, if Pakistan gets a good win vs England, and India draw this, and win the next one, then we can jump from #4 to #2!
 
Laxman departs after a good ton. Great take by young, Ramdin.

297-7, Collins strikes!
 
Come on Windies, I know your bowling isn't very excellent, but roll over these Indians, enforce a follow on, and win it, so we become #3 in Test Cricket, and you become... well a higher ranking :)
 
IND 297-7, require 85 more runs to avoid the follow on, and to avoid utter embarassment.
 
FOUR for Kumble!

Off the glove I think!

Kamran Akmal would have taken that catch!
 
this is day 3 right?

if it is then windies are all set to win!
 
FACTOID = Talk abt bad luck ..in 2002 Series Ind Vs WI. India lost their last wicket 5 min before the rain came and hence lost the test match.Funny Part aft that it rained for 11 cont.days .
 
India need to make 40 runs to avoid the follow on.

This last wicket partnership is getting really annoying, 25(59)

Harby unbeaten on 20! C'mon Windies, just one more wicket!
 
Lara has decided not to enforce the follow-on. Cricinfo

what a captain!
 
don't know if thats the right decision to be honest. Its tea on day 4, and they were struggling to bowl out India's tail. I'd have thought they'd want as much time as possible to bowl them out again.

Bowlers need rest as well.

true, but there really isn't much time left in this match. I don't think it would be sensible for Windies to bat much more than this session... and that seems a wasted exercise when u could get the Indian openers back out there.
 
sensible decision by lara ..all his bowlers looked very tired & with pedro collins injured it wud have made no sense askin india to follow on!

44-1 (8.3)

No idea why we're batting again.

because india could easily go past west indies total 2nd time round and bowlers looked tired.

W.I are 264 ahead with 28 overs ahead.

another 100 runs tonight and then declare means india have 360 runs to win batting last!
 
Sarwan, the century maker, gone.

53-2 as Lara hits a great six! Its out of the ground, tis gone miles and miles! :D

10.3 Kumble to Lara, SIX!!, massive hit! tossed up, Lara comes down the track and lofts it over straight down the ground, ball has disappeared, cleared the ground by miles!

W.I 53/2

Lara in and he smashes kumble onto the roof. monster six.

lead 272 and 26 overs left in days play...
 
Windies going at a good pace, 79-2 (14 overs)
 
Lara gone stumped. Prince fails again

Kumble to Lara, out Stumped!! comes down the track, Kumble drops it short and deceives Lara, Dhoni collects it cleanly and whips off the bails! B Lara st M Dhoni b A Kumble 19(15) 4s-0 6s-2

Well, scoring 19 runs is failure, don't you think? ;)
 
West Indies 113/4 (lead 332)

1 days play left... w.i should bat another 6-8overs max and the declare 360 ahead.
 
Lara is too chicken - he will never think of handing India any chance of victory - add to that the fact that most of the lbws in the 1st innings were rather fluky and Lara may well figure that a bird in hand ( ie a drawn series ) is better than 2 "possible" ones in the bush ( test victory !)

Lets face it, WI need to stabilize their test record - a drawn series against one of the better teams on the circuit isnt that bad a thing

All in all - I would be really surprised if Lara decides to declare too early.

WOW Miggyyy u r just too good :P .....
 
I have known to be wrong on one or 2 occasions as well... :D
 
Decleration. India need 392 to win, Windies need 10 wickets in 87 overs.

Draw most likely result.
 
Now will India go for it?

Either way, a draw seems the most likely outcome
 
windies dnt have a deadly spinner so they are unlikely to win unless there pacers pace out indian batsmen on this track!
 
how much do india need 2 win and of how many pottentiol overs?
 
India require another 283 runs with 10 wickets remaining and in 61 overs .So required run rate is 4.64 . Not difficult target if Shewag does not get out and continues in the same fashion at least till tea .
 
FUBAR! Sehwag falls first ball after lunch... now who did not see that coming from a mile away... the only regrets now is that this will taper to a lame draw.
 
India 362 & 126/1

India require another 266 runs off 55 overs...

another draw on its way!
 
Jaffer goes caught 2nd slip by gayle of bowling of perdo collins.

india 143/2
 
Could be another Banglore type collapse from India. Remember they have suffered quite a few 3rd/4th inns collapses over the last year or so namely against Pakistan and England.

But one suspects Windies bolwing is too friendly for that to happen here.
 
I don't think our bowling is good enough to knock over another 8 wickets. Although when India lost in Bangalore they lost against the mighty attack of Sami, Razzaq, Arshad, Danish and Afridi............winning this game is not out of the question but highly unlikely.

Still hilarious though.

Yep your probably right! Looking at the dibbly dobbly Windies bowlers doesnt really frighten the oppo.
 
When did Taylor become Right Arm fast? I suppose I shouldnt take much notice of Cricinfo.
 
Bishop and Cozier are clueless to what a bleep test is. They say that Bravo and Taylor would get to around level 13/14 when my friend who's 15 can get level 15 :91: .

Udal Best Bowling Figures in an Inning v India:

Ovs > 9.2
Mdns > 3
Runs > 14
Wkts > 4

Hope for West Indies in form of a 37yr old :P

Realistically It shud be a draw, one game to go.
