Even though India start was not good but they still managed to score 267 runs which is more than enough for the victory. Shreyas Iyer and pant in the middle order came for the rescue and WI inexperienced bowling attack fail to capitalize on the early pressure which they created by taking early wickets.

With 265 runs on board, Indian bowlers have confidence to win this ODI. West Indies bowling start was good as they got 3 early wickets but 110 stand b/w Pant and Sheryas lyer did the job for India. Jason Holder was good with bowl today as he got 4 wickets. One good thing which we saw in this ODI series is the WI bowling is quite good.

Everyone is expecting to see Indian team win this match and clean sweep the series but india does not have a good start in the match and are struggling at 42/3.

If india lost this match, nothing will change much but a lot of bookies will lose money as almost everyone is betting on indian win today.

Pant and lyer are trying to recover the loss of early wickets. Its 97 for loss of 3 wickets in 22 overs. Again West Indies bowlers have done quite a good job so far, as they have kept the indian batting quite. Seeing the WI batting performance if india can manage to cross 200 then india has bright chance of winning the game.
Oh Yes, it's best to bet on India win in 3rd ODI. Chances are rear for WI win. Let's see what's will be the result.

But in this match I want to see Virat score some runs. We are waiting for a century from him since 2 years now.

You may have to wait another day for this as Virat Kohli was caught and scoring no run in this match.

Not so easy because test status is not freebies anymore, like it used to be in the past. But there is a possibility, if by any chance domestic system collapse completely. It includes everything List A, ODI (Young, adult team -Men/Women), Grounds, funding etc etc

Agreed. Once a team is granted test status, then it is permanent. Only in the case of Zimbabwe, the status was suspended for a limited duration. Right now we have got 4 good teams at the top (India, Australia, England and New Zealand) and then 5 other teams at the bottom who are unable to compete with the former group. And then we have 3 who are there just to make up the numbers (Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan). I have long argued for three divisions of 5 teams each, but it will never be implemented by the ICC.

Agreed.. Relegation is the solution.

I was thinking of writing detail post on this topic but already found excellent article. Following articles got tons of info on Problems of WTC and test format. Some good suggestions are mentioned, highly recommended.

India VS West Indies

India will face West Indies in the last ODI of the series today. India have won the first two matches by a landslide. And as usual we have seen poor batting in the West Indies. It seems we will see the same thing today. The West Indies are going through a very bad time. The team has less experienced players. And the batsmen are not playing well. They should now organize a series against a weaker team.

Second ODI clearly proves that WIndies have strength in there bowling line up as they bowled out world best batting line up for 237. 237 is an easy target these days in 50 overs game and as you said there is no need to hit sixes or play aggressively, just build partnerships and finish the game. Third odi is scheduled tomorrow, let's see whether WIndies can avoid whitewash.

The West Indies bowlers have done very well and I don't think that. And also think that they are not enough experienced. India have scored only 237 runs as their players have been out of form for a long time. There is no batsman in the Indian squad at the moment who is consistently performing. Virat Kohli has not been in form for a long time, Rohit Sharma's performance is not satisfactory. KL Rahu also lost form. So, I don't want to give West Indies players the credit for giving India such a low target.

Maybe thats the real condition of the Indian team, but the bowlers contribution is the key reason to restrict within 237 runs. Based on the second ODI, the batsmen needs to find a way to score with patience taking in account the target and the required run rate. West Indies players always try to go aggressive without understanding the scenario of the match. This kind of play is good for T20, but won't help win ODI

Well west indies had a good chance to win in yesterday's match with such a low total to chase when you see these days in 50 overs format but these batsman just dont know how to build an innings. They just know how to hit sixes but taking singles building innings taking the game deep they must learn otherwise their team is looking really bad in one day internationals.

I think West Indies players have less experience and less patience. Their squad is only suitable for T20 format. The West Indies board should be more attentive to the players. Their position in the Test format is much worse now. At the same time, their performance in ODI format is getting worse. If they do not take appropriate action now, their performance will be worse in the future.

From early days of their cricket they are mostly playing very aggressive cricket which was their trademark but sadly in last two decades their quality is very poor, and they are not doing any good thing for improving this and having some better results.

Now, it's time for them to have just ODI and Twenty/20 formats give up to Test because most chances this change can give them some better result in test matches they are completely down and out but in these two formats they have some better and valuable players. Recently, their domestic set up is also not helping them for improving quality and search for better skilled players. Now Zimbabwe and West Indies are in same level and both are going more down with having no chance for better result in near future.

^ To win ODI, you must have team performance rather than relying on a single player. (sometimes a single player's good performance can win the match)
You should have to use every single ball and perform well towards the end.

And here is the weakness of the West Indies team. You know, any team can win T20 game only if they have some hard-hitter batsmen and because of having more hard-hitter batsmen, West Indies can win T20 games most of the time. But for ODI they can't win even if they have good hard-hitter batsmen, team performance is the main factor in this case.

It's been a long time since I have seen West Indies perform at a decent level in any format of cricket. And for me, West Indies has always been a better team for the T20 format rather than the test or one-day international.

They have the power heater so can make or break the game at any given time. But experience comes in handy in especially ODI and test cricket. They have to simply learn from their mistakes right now.

West Indies is good only in one format (T20) and they are uncompetitive in any other. Their batsmen are good only for short quick blasts and they don't have the ability to build an innings patiently. Previously they had players of test quality such as Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan, but then the race and religion based selection policy followed by the selectors meant that quality players quit the game. Along with Zimbabwe, the test status of West Indies need to be revoked. There are far better teams out there.

West indies have embraced T20 revolution more then any country. There players were absent from national bilateral series instead prefer playing T20 leagues. WI is no more suitable for ODI and test, this is something not good for cricket. We are continuously losing Test teams.

So does this mean we may see some good competition in the T20 series which is starting from 16 of feb on the famous Kolkata ground ?

Yeah, very much possible unless pitches are slow. If not then we can expect cracking T-20 series and even Windies dominating the Indians.

What is the exact criteria of revoking the test status of a country? As a team playing for so many years and performing badly for a year and you will revoke its test status? I think the status should not be revoked on the basis of recent performances.

West Indies batting lieup is now weak. Any target above 200 is now a big target for the West Indies. Moreover, India's bowling lineup is good enough now. We also saw West Indies batting in the first match. They lost all their wickets to collect only 176 runs. So in this match too I guess they will not be able to collect around 200. And West Indies finished their innings with 193 runs.
