West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

It is tomorrow. I think India will come hard in this match. What do you think?
Also if anyone can telecast it from here, it would be great.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

If WI can keep the intensity of the Second ODI, India has work cut out, since this team is short on experience... and they may falter under pressure......

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

Will be an interesting match as both teams will battle it out to take the lead in the series.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

CricBuzz is reporting that Venugopal Rao is in place of Yuvraj Singh, who is out of the game as he has developed some back spasms and SreeSanth comes in place of Munaf Patel.

  • It is a reasonably good batting track, however, the ball is expected to come a bit slowly off the track especially as the day progresses, also there is a bit of variable bounce expected from a certain area on the track.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

On another note:

  • India’s third one-day international, to be staged in miniscule Basseterre, will be the first-ever international game at Warner Park and the enthusiasm is so high that Tuesday has been declared a national holiday.

  • “It looks flat and should produce a lot of runs. The short boundaries and beautiful outfield will be conducive for the batsmen.” Steadroy Douglas, the chief groundsman, predicts 260.

Bradshaw to Dravid, LBW.

I am listening to the audio commentary. These two CricBuzz commentators, from the past experience, are watching the game live in the stadium.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

To get Dravid out so early in the innings is nothing short of a miracle. West Indies must make it count now that the "law of averages" has handed them an opportunity in the form of Dravid's dismissal.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

looks like india doing well right at the moment 61/1 10 overs

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

Venogopal rao! he sucks, what a bore

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

shukar hai.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

It is interesting to note (or shameful, rather) that the last boundary was scored in the 32nd over, as India's score had reached 196/3 at that point. Pundits all around the world were predicting 300+ at that stage in the game.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

Waqfaa Read - Few of the comments from our fellow individuals over at CricBuzz’s live running chat program:

  • “ah agarkar. why not try him as opener? or maybe even higher. like umpire”

  • “although he’s bowled well this time, we all know why agarkar’s ears are like that, don’t we?”

  • “is chappel a science student?? Even Scientists doesnt do so many experiments, whats wrong with chappel ?”

  • “caribean wonder, veeru batting past 10 overs”

  • “lara told his boys not to catch the ball to out him” (Out him?)

  • “its a 4. kaif will now want a pay raise”

  • “M Kaif*: 23(40)… whatever sehwag is saving.. kaif is spending… this is the true indian baaap beta ka story”

  • “Greg chappel, retired hurt”

  • “FACT : Edwards dont know how to catch cricket ball”

  • “The only true fearless and unselfish team player in Ind team seems to be Sehwag”

  • “Sehwag = Govinda …a lot of similarities!”

  • “commentator is giving wriog information.. ball 32.4 according to cricinfo went to midoff hence no run”

  • “hey commentator..how can the ball reach long off ..and no run …32.4”


See for yourself, the difference between the two services, as per the two comments mentioned above:

32.4 = Bravo to Dhoni, no run, full-toss, could have gone anywhere but Dhoni hits it straight to mid-off (CricInfo)

32.4 Bravo to Dhoni, no run, fuller length delivery outside off, Dhoni smashes it to long off, but no runs (CricBuzz)

“Here comes Tortoise…Chappel shud be slapped hard…how on earth Kaif is send ahead of Sir Aggy?”

  • “WI won’t drop 1st catch being given up by Kaif today.. which is coming up shortly”

  • “Kiaf - n0 4 - believes in non violence!”

  • “Kaif will keep rotating strike even for sreesanth”

  • “two amazing players at crease now. one is technician other one is an artistst.. its a treat” (Reference made to Kaif and Rao)

  • “Had Kaif not there in centrestage India wd have wrapped up somehow around 190-200”

  • “sharad pawar and ramesh powar .. india’s powers”

  • “Ajit inspected the crowd rather than fielding”

  • “Indian express already compared Sir Aggy to McGrath..read “return of agarkar””

  • “someone kidnapp venu else he will play WC cos of our More and Chappel”

  • “DADA COME BACK”

  • “V Rao is now scoring at 2 runs per over. It would make VVS, Gangu proud.”

  • “rao will fire after he reaches 25 years of cricket as a commentator. If he still tries to touckh a cricket bat – he should be put in prison !”

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

India 246/9 off 50 overs.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

From 174-2 in 28 overs to 246-9 in 50:eek:

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

Barring any firing inning by Gayle, India should win this one.
Yubraj as abowler will be missed though

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

At least Ramesh Powar can be looked upon as decent quality spin back-up.

Re: West Indies vs India ,3rd ODI

Well... Ramesh is not there in team because of Yuvraj's absence. I was talking about 3rd spinner beside Harbhajan and Ramesh. I guess Sehwag will bowl a lot today but I dont think he will be as good as Yuvi.
