My eyes are on Test series though. I remember when Windies beat the shit out of the English team in Test, so finger crossed lol.

You really expect something from this WI team? They are not challenging much even in ODI then how come they will play Test match for 5 days? This WI team is so much into T20 mindset that in future we will see the board will ask ICC a special request that to revoke their ODI and Test status.

There was a time WI used to shit out of any team, not just England. The glories are not there anymore.

Not windies team per se. But only their bowling line up against Indian batting on a seaming track. I want to see green seaming wicket for test series even after 3 days. Why should batsmen have all the fun? Grin

And I don't mind if they kicked out from Test format in the near future, but next question pop-up is who is going to take their spot? There are already a handful of teams taking test format seriously and younger players taking retirement from 5-day cricket here and there for petty reasons, so not a right decision IMHO.

I don't expect anything from WI team as they don't have good players and even not a single player can manage to play on behalf of the team and get runs like Smith for Australia and Shakib for Bangladesh. They even did not choose Pollard for what reason God knows. Lewis has been a consistent player but he had to get a 70-80 run partnership to keep getting runs but he also did not manage to do that. Very poor performance.

India played well against West Indies in yesterday ODI and rightly derive to won’t he match though match was shorten by 4 overs due to DL system coming into the match . But still even if WI had to bat 59 overs they were far behind the target and would not be able to achieved it . WI team will have to come together and play as a unit to register their first win .

This is a great tournament for bettors who have been exclusively betting on India like me. Toss your bets in an accumulator and choose some smart value bets and you could make a good amount of money quite easily.

I expected more entertainment value from the T-20 tournament though, but Windies messed that up too. Hoping that they provide more entertainment value in the upcoming matches.

Agreed, that's why gamblers love the IPL and for some of them its Diwali season Cheesy

Now we can only wish that the Windies team show some fight back in the Last ODI and Test matches. But as of now, Windies looks weak against the Indians. As an Indian perspective, these easy wins not going to help their cause in the longer run.

I had some doubts in T-20 format but not in ODI, despite Indian team doing some experiments with the middle order. But you never rule out Windies team, if there T-20 mindset clicks then they are a destructive team, and that's precisely I want for Last ODI so that we can witness some excellent cricket from both sides, so far this tour is turning out to be boring.

I wonder if anyone expected WI to win any match of this series. WI is a T20 team. We have seen their performance in WC, we are seeing their performance in this series. Against a team like India, they do not stand a chance.

I suppose no one.

At one time West Indies were looking controlling the run chase but then again the rain made the target almost impossible for West Indian batsmen. They just cannot blame the weather, they should have player much better.

What I am hating about this series is, the rain. Whenever I try to tune the tele I see rain LOL

Rain again and they lost 4 overs of the match. Revised score is 270 from 46 overs. This is getting really boring now with rain ruining matches. I want a result so badly.

Gayle's over I guess. He wasted a review and his strike rate also was poor. Feel bad that such a good player is retiring when he is in such a bad form.

They started with a wide.

Was there was a forecast of rain before the start of the match ? If so, this is one of the best decision of kohli of choosing to bat first.
The outfield is also wet now and it may slow the outfield.

I checked the weather forecast before the match thinking i could make a bet for washout due to rain, but the weather forecast said it will be a sunny day and hence i did not wage a bet on that.

Yes, forecast was kinda favourable but could be inaccurate at times Sad

. Hope that play resumes as soon as possible otherwise it will be down to the last ODI of the series to decide the winner. Also the forecast on that day isn't good so can't say for sure that it will be down to that even.

Series rain-washed!! maybe? Tongue

West Indies lost 2 wickets and they are trying to built a partnership and the only way to reach near to the total is to play smartly without loosing much wickets and not taking much risks and if West Indies could achieve that which is highly unlikely they could win the match, want to see how they are going to approach the mid overs, if India could take some wickets and put some pressure i am sure they will crumble.

Careful and steady start from Windies's openers. they are standing strong at 45 runs, Lewis looking very good so far.

Edit

Gayle gone now, final ODI appearance for Gayle i suppose if he gets retire on his 300th ODI match today. He failed to score big run today but he's now Most run (10349) scorer for Windies

^Congo. You also had predicted England winning the WC. Did you place any bet that time?

280 is a good target if they finish the match. Rain shouldn't spoil it now.

And who knows India might still end up with 275+

As i predicted correctly, India end up with 275+ and my next prediction is that India will win this match easily

If anyone is looking for a WI win here, he is asking too much from them which is not possible.

No, it was sunny but I know why Kohli chose to bat first as it was a decision made looking at the previous match. Still they managed to continue the play. Sad for Iyer as he was playing well.

Looking forward to JJ's partnership. Jadeja please hit few sixes now.

It stopped raining now and glad they did not lose any overs. Iyer on 63 now and 6 more overs left. Would he too manage 100 runs? It would be a great chance to get 100 now. Now a 280+ target is looking good and WI will be struggling due to the weather. Kohli did right by choosing to bat first.

Edit: SS Iyer out on 71.

Kohli century and iyer 71 runs helped India to score past 250 runs in 46 overs with 5 wickets remanining. Jadeja and Jadhav are batiting and if they can stay till last bal INdia can easily make 285+ run on the board and it would be interesting to watch how and what straetgy WI adopt to chase this score .

300 is not possible and anything above 250 would be a bonus. Till now the partnership is going well 89 runs till now. Hope this also reaches 100+.

300 is totally possible thanks to the awesome partnership between Shreyas and Kohli. I always knew that Shreyas was a great ODI batsman and he proved it today by giving support to Kohli right when he needed it.

Pant disappointed me once again and I think that he might get replaced soon if he continues playing like this. 280-300 seems like the likely target for West Indies at this point.

300 not possible now because it's started raining.
Is rain coming for the reuse of West Indies again ? WI needs a wash out match because if the match resumes after sometime , West Indies will get a much stiffer target.

Still WI will be having hard time if the game resumes because normally after the rai ball will hold before coming into bat so if there is remaining play India has the better chance as well.
