Re: WI v India second test.
For all of the Day 1 highlights, including a six by Sehwag over extra-cover and another straight hoop off Bravo over long-on, see the following two links (videos provided online - no download necessary):
They both are approximately of the same time length, except the Flash version includes a handful of extra highlights such as drop catches, LBW shouts and more.
For complete set of video highlights, this link will be more of assistance.

The Fastest hundreds scored in Test Cricket
Virender Sehwag’s blistering hundred on the opening day of the 2nd Test match at St.Lucia took just 78 balls. Many of us might be wondering whether this was a record, so we thought of compiling the list of the fastest Test hundreds scored in terms of balls. The list has been updated till June 11, 2006.
** Fastest Centuries in Test Cricket in terms of balls faced**
-
Vivian Richards (WI) : 56 balls Vs England at St.John’s in 1985/86
-
Jack Gregory (Aus) : 67 balls Vs South Africa at Johannesburg in 1921/22
-
Shivnarine Chanderpaul (WI) : 69 balls Vs Australia at Georgetown in 2002/03
-
Roy Fredericks (WI) : 71 balls Vs Australia at Perth in 1975/76
-
Md.Azharuddin (Ind) : 74 balls Vs South Africa at Calcutta in 1996/97
-
Majid Khan (Pak) : 74 balls Vs New Zealand at Karachi in 1976/77
-
Kapil Dev (Ind) : 74 balls Vs Sri Lanka at Kanpur in 1986/87
-
Gilbert Lessop (Eng) : 76 balls Vs Australia at The Oval in 1902
-
Shahid Afridi (Pak) : 78 bals Vs West Indies at Bridgetown in 2005
-
Shahid Afridi (Pak) : 78 balls Vs India at Lahore in 2005/06
-
Virender Sehwag (Ind) : 78 balls Vs West Indies at St.Lucia in 2006
12 : Chris Gayle (WI) : 79 balls Vs South Africa at Cape Town in 2003/04
12 : Chris Gayle (WI) : 79 balls Vs England at The Oval in 2004
14 : Mahela Jayawardene (SL) : 81 balls Vs Bangladesh at Colombo in 2001/02
15 : Kamran Akmal (Pak) : 81 balls Vs India at Lahore in 2005/06
Sehwag has now leveled with Afridi.
On another note, nice to notice three of the listed names (in four appearances) in the above list originated from Pakistan!
Re: WI v India second test.
Lara has been a big disappointment in this series so far. I remember when Pakistan toured, he tore us apart.
Re: WI v India second test.
This is India's game, if they fail to take that'll be shame.
Re: WI v India second test.
If India is unable to take the rest of the wickets today than I would say the game will be a draw otherwise India has enough time to bowl the Windies twice. I wonder if the Indians have taken their medicine as skhan pointed out :)

bhai yeh poetry forum nahin hay:p
Re: WI v India second test.
An expectedly downcast Brian Lara was confident that West Indies could, yet again, defy India in their quest for victory, and urged his batsmen to show some “character”.
“This is what Test cricket is all about. With our backs against the wall, we have a chance to show some character.”
Lara urging his batsmen to show some “character”? Surely one would expect him to first act like one!
Re: WI v India second test.
Top WI batsmen gone for merely 106 runs, currently they are 135/5, the deficit is still 450+!
Re: WI v India second test.
Congrats India. :)
Re: WI v India second test.
Once again, Lara falters and WI is in trouble. Thanks to Patel and Kumble.
I'm not sure what kind of batsmen WI need to tackle the mediocre Indian attack?
Umer
Re: WI v India second test.
Umer Pai, is this another one of those trick questions that has more than one answer? :D
Re: WI v India second test.

Re: WI v India second test.
