I observe this to be a persistent flaw when Wi are fielding and the opposing team manages to put together a partnership. So that runout by Sarwan was vital and ought to remind the others that they have to be switched on all the time and take every opportunity to make something happen.

All in all I think that India will be disappointed and West Indies happy to have pulled things back after seeming to have let go of the early initiative.
true...WI was waiting for a mistake by India. They had no clue before that...during Kolhi and Sharma partnership.

Isn't it interesting to note how the combination of circumstances and failure by others has catapulted Simmons into a position of seniority in the batting lineup. I hope he can help Bharat to settle down and that together they build a good, solid opening partnership.

spot on...unfortunately Simmons departed cheaply today. Funny, the selectors ignoring proven players at the top, such as Gayle and Shiv with the much needed experience. :lol: i

Barath suffered from another shocking decision....

That ball was going down leg.

Another reason why UDRS should be used in this series....

We're getting into a run rate problem.

As Sarwan and Bravo struggle to get the ball away, the small crowd chants 'We want Gayle'....

And the man is on camera on the mound.

Did the big man's appearance on the big screen inspire Sarwan and Bravo? All of a sudden, they're hitting boundaries....
:lol:
