The match played in the backdrop of lot of expectations of the defending champions with a packed batting side making it an exciting tough match it was an anticlimax for sure.Frankly there is nothing much to write about the match except for Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's hypnotic spell and Amit Mishra's yet anothe man of the match performance. The magical swing seemed to have returned which was first seen when he broke into the Indian side for the first time about 2 yrs ago.As far as WI they could have as well given a walk over if the rules had permitted.Darrel samy could have asked his bowlers to bowl underarm bowling instead of putting up such charde.Such games hardly adds to reputation of the gentleman's cricket.
Favourite players are given chance after chance after chance even when they fail, but if some one new is put in the team, if he flops he is kept aside immediately. why isnt the same logive used for all players, after all they are in the time to perform and not to experiment
The match with WI was unnecessarily stretched till the last over. Should net run rate become important India may stand to lose ultimately. Raina or Dhoni must have come at the fall of Kohli's wicket.

Absolutely right Raina or Dhoni hould have come in but I guess Yuvraj inclusion in the team had to be justified but what happened, he flunked miserrably. Take pride in your self and you yourself pack up your bags and go
Key WI players play in the IPL which is there main source of income these days!
These WI players have been playing badly against India in recent years, especially in the matches played in the subcontinent where fixing is much easier to carry out!
Also, suspect is the dive Australia took after Max well's heroics!
Cricket in the subcontinent has become a Bollywood potboiler but we keep watching it in the hope that the next match won't be fixed!

if any match is fixed ,then it is the problem of the team losing and its fans ..not the winning team ..so get lost.

like you say cricket away from subcontinent has become a Hollywood potboiler but people keep watching it in the hope that the next match away from the sub continent would not be fixed!

suraj, what is your problem with fixing? after all it should work both ways does it not? first the SA and NZ series were fixed so that sa and nz should win...so what wrong if these matches are fixed in india's way?

What india? corruption rules every aspect of public life in aus eng sa nz wi sl etc. etc.. etc.... so stop your holier-than-thou attitude and pretend that corruption happens in india or sub continent only...it is a world phenomenon...accept it;...

Yes in Aus SA Eng WI SL Pak NZ etc...corruptionrules everyaspect of publiclife...so what???
Hope the selectors and team Management wake up and tell Yuvraj to pack up and go back home. Retaining him in the team is depriving a deserving cricketer from playing for his country.

come on yuvraj is more senior then dhoni and raina. did u c him yesterday's match. he was saving his wiket to stay not out and iver caucious.He looks sloppy even in the field. I suggest binny bcoz hes a hitter and useful bowler whereas u can;'t expect both from yuvraj. Need to use dhavan very good batsman ,but no ahrm to try rahane as he is useful opening in t20's. Ojha nt in the team agreed !.
