After watching the highlights of India vs. WI match, I have only the following observations.
1. India's bowling wasn't anything to cheer about. Mostly, they had pace, but no swing. All the shots were mistimed, and it's the stupidity of WI batsmen that got them out for 85.
2. How many batsmen edged and got caught? 4/5? How many of those balls were swinging? NONE. Once again, poor show by the WI batsmen. Dhoni took good catches, but given gloves and pads, I'll also be able to dive that much with my flappy tummy.
3. The C/B was absolute rubbish. Just tells you that WI were most likely put to the field after a secret rave.
So all I have to say is, I hope our BD batsmen don't take the win against NZ and Scotland as given and start being too confident. Yes they need confidence, but they also need to watch out and play properly. This time there shouldn't be any excuse after seeing all terrible things happen during the warmup.
