CWC 19 : West Indies V India

[Sarge]

on form it should be an India win ... however, with the way matches have gone in the CWC of late, it could go either way

set to start at 10.30am

 

[andystroud]

India to win, hopefully picking up a couple of minor injuries to key players requiring them to miss the next game

 

[Sarge]

India in the box seat then .... winning the toss and opting to bat first

 

[Sarge]

decent bowling in the first 5 overs .... quite a few dot balls .... that said India are not renowned for swinging n slogging with the bat in the first 5 overs when batting in 50 over odi's , yet tend to go on to attain decent amount of runs ( take note Bayliss & Morgan)

17-0 after 5 overs

 

[Sarge]

Sharma gone for 18 in 6th over .... controversially too , debate whether there was or wasnt contact with the bat, but after review its given out

38-1 after 8 overs

 

[Sarge]

theres been some really good bowling from the Windies .... India's batsmen patiently picking their moments ,... so far a good contest

15 overs... 67-2

 

[Sarge]

Holder deseved that wicket ! Rahul went for 48 in the 21st over

India reach 100 .... 104-2 after 22 overs

 

[Leysboy]

3 out now 127/3 Jadhav comes to the crease

 

[Paul Cannell]

Kemar Roach whips out the 3rd. Lovely ball, according to the replay on ESPN. Where has he been all the world cup?

 

[Sarge]

Jadhav went for 7 in the 29th over .... 148-4 with 20 overs left

this could be a close run match ?

 

[Sarge]

is that Bob or No Hope wicket keeping for Windies? .... what a missed opportunity for a stumping that was!

 

[Sarge]

15 overs left of India's innings

166-4 .... 280-300 ish final score, or will Windies start taking quick wickets as India start rattling up the runs ... this could be entertaining

I love it when Indian fans have a moan on Twitter. Proper bants

Kohli has gone! Big wicket for the Windies

 

[Sarge]

last 10 overs of the innings .... 186-5

 

[Sarge]

Pandaya and Shami both went in the penultimate over

252-7 with 6 balls remaining

 

[Sarge]

MS Dhoni gets his 50 in the last over, then wants to change his bat for the last ball of the innings ... and delivers a 6 .... 268-7 ... decent score at Old Trafford that is

 

[Sarge]

decent score off the last over too ...16 , 2 sixes and one four

That was very Dhoni. Turned down 3 singles, changed his bat for the last ball. Hits a six.

The result of this match makes no difference to England, so I’m hoping for a Windies win. Nothing quite as irritating in the world of sport as a victorious Indian cricket fan.

Gayle gone cheaply for 6 .... rubbish shot , and caught .... 10-1 after 5 overs
