India vs West Indies 2009 : 2nd ODI - Yuvraj’s wicket

India vs West Indies 2009 : 2nd ODI - Yuvraj’s wicket. The biggest wicket of the match as Yuvraj was looking really dangerous.


Bring back Sachin and Dravid?

With the way the Indian batsmen, barring Yuvraj, are batting these days I think its time to bring back Dravid and make Sachin play all the games. The current crop of batsmen cant handle bouncers and spin, and today they showed they cant handle swing as well. They seem to be just flat track bullies.

Gambhir’s form seems to have deserted him, Rohit is a mystery, Raina and Dhoni just seem to be fraud batsmen. It maybe a backward step but it might be time to reinstate the masters Sachin and Dravid of winning matches for India.

India vs West Indies : Darren Bravo impresses on debut

Darren Bravo has won the admiration of rival captains Chris Gayle and MS Dhoni after his brief, yet impressive, first outing in international cricket in the first ODI at Sabina Park. He struck two boundaries in his knock of 19, displaying sound technique and flourish in West Indies’ reply to India’s 339.

“He didn’t show any form of nerves, being around his brother actually calmed him down a bit. He did well batting and in the outfield as well and hopefully he can get a bigger score if the opportunity comes across him again,” Gayle said of Darren Bravo.

Darren Bravo came in to bat following the dismissal of his half-brother Dwayne, and put on 36 in quick time with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who was anchoring the run chase. But when Chanderpaul fell with the score on 224, the game swung decisively in India’s favour - though they did suffer a lower-order scare - and Darren Bravo followed soon after, miscuing a pull off Harbhajan Singh.

“He’s good. He will improve, the more international cricket he plays the better for him,” Dhoni said, suggesting that youngsters ought to be given more exposure at the international stage. “Most of the players who play at the international level have the talent - it’s just that some players get more backing than others. Some are considered match-winners and often match-winners are given more time compared to others.”
