Just started watching the match now and noticed they are playing 35 overs game and they have to chase 270 runs. Damn! Rohit got run out and now Dhawan gone. They require a run rate of above 7 and I am losing hope now only. If Virat also gets out, I don't trust Pant and Iyer to manage a partnership of 100+ runs and they need one with 164 runs left now.

Gayle played fabulously in his 301th ODI. So happy for him.

Gayle did play excellent but Virat kholi outclass everyone again and won the match for the Indians. He is in superb form and rightly declared the Man of the match as well as the Man of the series. Well Played !!!

India outclass again WI and this time Kohli did the finishing as now he is getting much better afte the world cup as he is getting his form back. This helped India to not only win the match but also series. Also Iyer cannot be missed out beacuse he as well played quick and cruical role for his 65 runs innings.

Yea we have rain again and now we have update if West Indies unable to bat again then India is going to chase 194 in 20 overs look like very interesting but we have wait for stop rain again.


This match belongs to West Indies and it will be very unfortunate for them if it is drawn due to rain. They really bat well today.


No mention about Gayle playing his last ODI match but mostly people were cheering him for playing his 300th ODI.

BTW, BCCI wants to include cricket in LA Olympics now by 2028. I feel it's a great opportunity if they recognize Cricket also and was wondering what took them so long to include this sport.
BCCI is the only think stops cricket to be added from olympics,it was the internal politics between ICC and BCCI after the introduction of IPL league.

BCCI was always opposed to the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics and against the globalization of the game. But it was Dave Richardson of South Africa who decided to keep cricket out of Olympics in 2015. The big three (BCCI, CA/ACB and ECB) supported his decision. This decision was reversed with the election of Shashank Manohar as the chairman of the International Cricket Council on November 2015.

If it happens, it will be good for the cricket lovers.
After the World cup, Olympics will be the another title which will come after every 4 years.

Run rate is not a matter if the players not going to complete their 50 overs.WI looks like playing the same so India will target for more wickets now where the WI lacks to hold the game most of the time.
WI is still going strong. Now Hetmyer and Hope is set in the pitch. I suspect WI is aiming for 350+ runs. And they can achieve it easily if Indian bowler do not ball cleverly. This match is still interesting and looking very good for WI.

By the way, by any chance if WI wins then a lot of people will lose money today. :-(

Edit: Rain delay LOL
Good news rain stopped and now Ground staff is taking off all stuff we are going to start again in just few minutes but now we have less overs as we lost some good amount of time and this is going to help West Indies as they already have some good start courtesy of Gayle and Lewis.
Seems like it drizzles again so we have to wait further for the inspection.Hopefully there will be some game left to see some smashes from WI and IND as well.

WI started their innings as if they are playing T20 and made a quick fire 100 without loss in 10 overs only . But slowly Indian picked up top 2 batsman and thus their net run rate started to fall. Though the rain has halt the match now but they are still 158/2 in 22 overs .

Well both openers are gone however the run rate is 9.63. Now it's time for India. Let's see how they hold the nerve.

Edit: They nearly got Hetmyer. But the ball was in no man's land.

8 over 79 runs, run rate 9.87!

WI did not lose any wicket till now. Master blaster Gayle is scoring like it's a tennis ball. Lewis is going extra mile and he is even more aggressive than Gayle. It will be interesting to see how India is going to handle this match.

Edit: 84 for none.
First three overs was just for some check up after this now these both doing really tough for Bowlers 10 over and already touching 114 first time in ODI history we have 8 sixes batting first bad news for India Risab Pant is injured and out of ground lest see now next 10 overs can give more entertainment like this.

Chahal first over and India have first wicket of Lewis.

West Indies start is very shaky hopefully today we have some better from them and after very bore and rainy day some good and interesting cricket.

Well, they are spanking Indian bowlers hard Cheesy already at 79 runs after 8 overs. hope they can cross 300+ today, good part is its not one man show ( gayle) both openers playing good.

If they manages to play 20 overs like that then lol moment for India.

Welcome to Rain's international   Grin

Today every International cricket match is interrupted by the rains. be it test match in between SL vs NZ or toss delay in the Ashes or ODI. The latest casualty is ODI Windies vs Ind's game.

Windies won the toss and batting first. No Bumrah today, guess Indian saving him for Test and rightly so.


India can afford this right now to give rest him for test matches as they have good combination and all is going good for them now we have 4 overs of this third ODI and West Indies start is very shaky hopefully today we have some better from them and after very bore and rainy day some good and interesting cricket.

It is also kind of interesting to know the result of these matches because it can turn into any sides if there is a game play remaining.

People suffer from drought on many countries so never blame rains again. Smiley

Cricket is not about making personal achievements and personal records.  It's a team game and required a team effort to win the matches.  Gayle, if he is not in a good form should retire from one day international. He should not wait for 300 matches or other things which resemble personal records.
Seriously? The majority including me do not want the Universe Boss to retire yet because we still wish to watch him continue playing for some more time. No one can force these legends to retire which is why I disagree with you here. Its their personal decision at the end of the day.

Every sporting events people remember these personal achievements and why is it a bad thing, he is playing his 300th match while 99% of the population are not even talented enough to play one international match, cricket is the only group sport that has stats and records and we can remember because these are celebrated and the fans remembers those moments, if Gayle wants to retire let him do so why would anyone dictate what to do with his career and if he is not that good or performing badly the selectors will not pick him for the next match or series and you cannot find a replacement for Gayle that easily.
I agree with your statements except for the 99% part which is a bit far-fetched. There are many talented cricketers around the world which represent a far bigger percentage in this regard.
