Sad to see that West Indies is unable to win against a third-string or fourth-string Indian side, and that too at home. Their batting was more or less OK, as the West Indian batsmen are able to put up totals of more than 300 on board. But the bowlers have leaked runs. Alzarri Joseph was the only West Indian bowler who looked as if he was capable of troubling the Indian batsmen. Others, such as Romario Shepherd and Kyle Mayers were treated with disdain. And I don't even want to comment about their spinners. Akeal Hosein went for 8 runs per over.
After watching second ODI and their fifth consecutive defeat now feeling their bowling is completely crap they need some revolutionary changes in this department if they want to do some positive in future because there were no depth in this all and their quality spinner was also completely helpless and have no control and quality for having some good result.
Even their batting is doing much better than last series against Bangladesh where they were completely outclassed against bowling attack of Bangladesh but now in this series their bowling attack is down-and-out Joseph is better but alone he can't bring positive results for his team he also needs some help from other end as well for having better game and end.
I’m equally baffled as to why WI are performing so poorly especially in home conditions, and I strongly feel that the WI management should immediately introspect and ring in necessary changes that can help the team improve.
Bapu (Axar Patel) is turning out to be really good bat in the down the order. From now on i don't think selectors are going to drop him from White ball squad.
Yeah. He is a great talent and is proving to be one of the best all-rounders in the Indian squad these days along with Thakur.
I am hoping to see another interesting game of cricket and looking at the effort & performance of the West Indies team, they also deserve a win, don't they?
They do deserve a win, but the morale is probably low in their camp right now due to two close calls in a row which could help India in a big way. Also, why isn't a world-class bowler like Narine in the squad?
@JSRAW I always felt that he was just a squad player, but now I feel that he definitely deserves to be in the playing 11 because he seems to be revitalised and having an extra all rounder will definitely help team India.
