94/8, nice figures Cheesy

Really disappointed from WI performance. Was waiting for watching a competitive match.

I was also waiting for a competitive match and expected better batting performance from WI. They had very good attacking batsmen who can go for big shots but it never happened. Their this T20 team performed like their ODI team LOL

As I said earlier, this will be an easy win for India and I was right when I said that WI will hardly manage 100 runs :-)

By the way, did anyone gambled in this match? I bet most of the people were betting for India.

WI batsman aren't consitent, they need to improve a lot and will focus on test cricket more as well.

Only 2.2 overs left now so don't think they can make more than 120. Gayle must be being missed now.

Well a lot depends on both Pollard and Brathwaite now. And they are capable to turn the table around if they perform.

Pollard should start hitting now to get them to a good score but he is thinking of losing his wicket.

~snip~
does they play in order to promote cricket in USA,

Yap, that's the whole idea but seems like WI is not gonna make it entertaining. If the American do not see fours and sixes then they will think it's a boring sport :-P

Come on WI!
It will be fun to see if India reach the targer (whatever it is) in less than 10 overs :-P

7 down LOL!
WI hardly can score 120.
I would say India will easily win this match. There are not many good bowlers to give hard time to the Indian batting line up.

I was surprised to see that India and West Indies are playing in Florida, does they play in order to promote cricket in USA, i think that is the only possible answer to play in a neutral ground and with the way things are playing out, the match is incredibly boring as West Indies is struggling to put runs on the board as they just scored 70 runs in 16 overs and lost 7 wickets and it is hard to imagine them scoring 100 runs with the way they are batting but Pollard could make a difference if he could connect the ball in the final overs.

See it as a good bowling performance from India. They have improved quite a lot which was proven by the bowling performance they put in WC

India used to have weak bowling attack but in the recent years their bowling department is one of the best in the world.

What do you’ll think of Pant as he’s keeping for India today, will he able to knock out MS Dhoni from the playing 11 in further series to come.

If Dhoni thinks that he is too old for the T20 format then Pant can be the successor for him if he is able to perform consistently, no one will force him out from the playing eleven as he is more than capable to win any match at a given time and his record in the IPL as a captain is unparalleled. Since the T20 world cup is coming up it is time for India to find the right combination.

It's quite hard to say with the performance he put in the WC. I am sure others also have noticed that and choosing him as a final wicketkeeper replacement for Dhoni is something that I really find it hard to happen when there is already another player who is better than him- Rahul.

Such a poor performance!!
Only 54/5 after 12 overs. I thought it will be competitive match, from this situation, it will be hard to score more than 150 which will be easily chased by India.

I was away for half an hour so could not watch the early overs. Just turned on the tele and watching the match. I was following the score though. West Indies needs a partnership. The Indian team is pack with batsmen so even 180 runs is not safe too. But question is can WI score 180 or more?

Quote from: erikalui on August 03, 2019, 09:58:58 AM

Still scared of Pollard now as he's terrible in hitting 6s. Never heard of Saini's name but he's a great bowler. It's his debut match and what a great debut.

Poor start by WI as they have lost quick 5 wickets on a score of just 33 runs in just 6 overs. They are known for playing the good cricket in T20 but this time it seems they are not in the form and Indian bowlers are bowling the right line and troubling the WI batsman.

^Yeah but he included in the team for this series as I saw his name in the team.

4 wickets gone. Still scared of Pollard now as he's terrible in hitting 6s. Never heard of Saini's name but he's a great bowler. It's his debut match and what a great debut.

I'm glad Dhawan recovered from the injury but now all depends on his form as they are playing in a foreign ground.

But who will be opening today? Rahul-Rohit or Rahul-Dhawan or Rohit-Dhawan? They are claiming Rahul and Dhawan opening batsmen and Rohit the top order batsmen.

@erikalui Rahul is not included in the playing 11 and that should answer your query, it’ll be India’s regular openers who’ll begin their innings for them. West Indies have lost a wicket in the first over, but I would not rule them out yet as they have many experienced players who can win them the match.

Rohit and Dhawan would be the best, Rahul can play at number 4/5 I think. Both Rohit and Dhawan was in good form in WC, I believe that they will cause pressure in WI bowling.

I am also thinking the same but Rohit and Virat had some tiff recently and they brought in Pandey too for the 4th position so they may push Rahul as an opener and Rahul's best performance has been at 4th position only.

-----

Edit: Looks like Rahul has been dropped from this match. It's a horrible decision when Rahul is in form.

There is a T20 match between the Netherlands and the UAE ongoing right now at Amstelveen. Netherlands won the toss and opted to field first. UAE has made 8/0 after 1.0 over. None of the big names from Netherlands are participating (van Meekeren, van der Merwe, Cooper, Barresi, van der Gugten.etc), as they are playing county cricket in England.

India vs West Indies match is on the way. WI is a better team in t20 format. This will be a competitive match though, WI ia likely to have the benefit of home ground.

Small correction : first 2 T-20 match are scheduled in the USA, Florida and after that rest of the series will took place in windies's backyard.

Here's an interesting stats from cricbuzz-

Did you know?

- Evin Lewis has scored two 100s against India in the three T20Is he played against them.

- Sunil Narine has dismissed Rohit Sharma seven times in T20 cricket with a dismissal every 19 balls.

So this mean that's Singapore can have good players from different countries and develop their own team. This may be unfair in certain terms.
Also the under 19 cricket India and Pakistan players who are unable to make the national team can easily join the Singapore National Cricket Team.

How is this unfair? It is completely up to the player who they wish to play for at the end of the day despite where they are originally from. They take a risk themselves by facing criticism from their native countrymen.

Its very difficult to get noticed among the plethora of talent in countries like India, Australia etc which is why they look for opportunities elsewhere and they have full freedom to do so at the end of the day.

OK.. Will you be OK if the BCCI fields a playing XI which does not have any Indian citizens? Let's assume that India is playing against Pakistan and the BCCI has fielded a team that comprises of 11 Australians, with Australian passport. Do you think that the Indian public will support this team? Playing one or two foreigners is OK with me. But a playing XI not having any nationals is plain appalling.

I get your point, but what you talked about is completely unrealistic since you are mentioning a big team like India here.

I don't think many Singapore citizens watch Cricket to be honest and the ones interested would most likely be happy with the talent that they pooled together. If it grows into a strong team someday, I am pretty sure they will include some of their own at the very least.
