Just for reaching that score after being 168/9that good enough yes. At least they made a competition out of it. They coulda been bowled out for 175 and match done long time.

well well well, windies won, congrats, the series stays alive!!!

hydroep · Postby **hydroep** » December 5th, 2011, 1:38 pm

That win was a pleasant surprise...Narine had them bamboozled...( :lol:

)...and Sammy actually stand up and make some runs oui.

India's momentum may have been disturbed by a couple of bad calls that went against their batsmen (that lbw decision against Kohli was a blatant mistake, but then too was Pollard's dismissal in the previous match.). Such is the nature of the game, I guess.

With five matches in the series, most people would have expected the W.I. to win at least one, so this win eh no big thing. If they want to put their critics to rest, the team should take up the challenge and carry that momentum into the next game. But given their reputation for being inconsistent, who among you is willing to put money on that?

Meanwhile India will be looking to avoid further embarrassment by wrapping up the series.

Hmmm...sets the scene interesting 4th match doesn't it?... 8-)

hopefully the selectors would see the true potential of Narine and keep him for the rest of the games...good victory though,but the records were always in favour of west indies at that venue...at least the series still alive.

cornfused · Postby **cornfused** » December 5th, 2011, 2:20 pm

finally getting a win while the series is still alive , congrats, Rampaul bowled well as per usual , Roach was expensive up front , great game form Narine.

Simo needs to get his head in the game , Hayatt is lost at this level, hope small Bravo is ok . Ramdin and Pollard batted sensibly, and finally Sammy does something and Russel for that gallant finish

X_Factor · Postby **X_Factor** » December 5th, 2011, 4:26 pm

narine's 10 overs for 35 runs made the difference!

shake d livin wake d dead · Postby **shake d livin wake d dead** » December 5th, 2011, 8:54 pm

I lold when Sehwag said sammy was ah big hitter,lmfao...but why would you drop barath to pick hyatt?? and dem 2 catches sammy drop could have cost windies the game eh....but he make up wid d run out......

equipped2ripp · Postby **equipped2ripp** » December 5th, 2011, 9:23 pm

Hyatt needs to be dropped and bring back Barath

ElectricoS · Postby **ElectricoS** » December 5th, 2011, 9:35 pm

Ravi Rampaul 4-57

very effective

good performance by WI despite the dropped catches by Sammy and the lbw decision.

hopefully we can tie the odi's next match.
