India Tours the Caribbean- TEST Series| July 9th to August 22nd 2K16

[Tausif]

West Indies destroying India right now

[aklemalp]

Evin Lewis is the latest centurion in T20Is.

And how about that opening partnership? 126 runs in 9.3 overs

[aklemalp]

West Indies recorded their highest score in T20Is.

245/6 off their allotted overs


Congrats to Stuart Binny on becoming the proud record holder for the most runs conceded in an over: 32

[aklemalp]

India are going at 12 an over...on pace with the rrr. 150 needed off 12 overs

[aklemalp]

I wouldn't be surprised if India chased this down

[Tausif]

What kind of shitty pitch is this? or is the ground small?

[aklemalp]

108 required off 48....Rohit was just dismissed for a superb half century

[aklemalp]

Narine getting clobbered...his 3 overs have cost him 50 runs

If all the bowlers are getting battered, then it is a T20 ground.

Possibly flat as a tortilla.

[aklemalp]

India look like the favorites to win at this stage....Lokesh Rahul once again....he's getting a 100

[aklemalp]

Rahul gets his century...

India need 17 off 9

[aklemalp]

Oh my.....what an end to this match.

India needed 2 off the last ball to complete what would have been the highest successful chase in T20Is...Dhoni on strike...one would expect him to finish it off in his usual style...but Bravo was up tO task and held his nerve to bowl a wicket ball...

West Indies won by 1 run.

Lokesh Rahul was spectacular, unbeaten on 110 off 51 balls.

[MHRAM]

I watched the match. Superb but I felt west indies fielding let them down and they were bowling too many hit me balls.

Great exhibition nonetheless

[aklemalp]

So MS Dhoni has captained more international games than any other captain...that is some feat.

[NoName]

Binny

[aklemalp]

Idc what anyone has to say...Lokesh Rahul is india's best batsman atm...

He hasn't played more than 10 matches in all three formats, and managed to score centuries in all format....

[aklemalp]

This pretty much summed the day up:

When Bravo began it, 483 runs had been scored in 39 overs. Thirty-two sixes and 35 fours had been hit on a flat deck surrounded by short boundaries. Johnson Charles had looted 79 off 33, playing only five scoring shots on the off side. Playing only his second T20I, replacing Gayle, Lewis had hit five sixes in a Stuart Binny over. Rohit Sharma looked like he could cream his way to another hundred when he scored 62 off 28. Andre Russell, the best T20 cricketer going around today, had just been mercilessly taken for 36 runs in his last two overs.

[aklemalp]

Looks like they are playing on a different pitch today..

West Indies bowled out for 143

[Zeeshan]

What a frikkin game that day.

Intuitively I felt India will chase it down.
Intuitvely I felt since some no-name low-profile West Indies player scored a 100, who knows Rahul will do so too, dekha jabe. Bhablam amra shobai jokhon endowed with buddhahood.

Arektu holei prothom ta lege gechilo.

Jaihok onek moja pelam dhoni r out howar kotha shune.. Ekhon bujhok T20 cup er amra kemon koshto, jatona, bedona peyechilam.

Ekta robindro (not ashwin) sangeet geye felte icha korche

[aklemalp]

^^ Zeeshan bhai, that 'no-name' player made a century in BPL 3.


I surprised you never heard about him(or you're being sarcastic?).

No I meant, you are primed to expect these sorts from Gayle or someone. But it is always the other dude, the foreign exchange guy with weird accent in turban at the back of the class, who walks away with Denise Milani.

Edit: But you are right, I never heard of E.Lewis before this match. Also I don't really follow cricket match that much except BC.

Fair point....think about the crowds Going to watch the Universe Boss, and in turn have to settle with the undercard.....

But yes, but the guy who walked away with a prize was Stuart binny....lucky fella

I hope we saw the overall sober response from the Indian media about this defeat. When I compare this with our T20 defeat by a run and the huge brickbats hurled at Mushfiq,Mahmadullah et-all it still pains me. We often just getncarried away as fans but at-least the media should have been more restrained.

Difference was this was a meaningless t20, while ours was in the World Cup. Not that it would, but it could have still kept us alive in the competition and eliminate the hosts at the same time.
