West Indies lost the ODI and the Test series but they slowly reached a point where they were fighting as a unit. The victory lap with thousands cheering them on at Dominica signalled that. The crowd recognised that the team had fought.

Here is what Sammy said about India: "With 15 overs to go and 86 runs required, and considering the calibre of players they have like Dhoni and guys who could hit the ball, I thought they would give it a go being one up … I was surprised they shut the shop." India left you with that kind of strange taste in the mouth.

West Indies would have gained a lot from this tour. The bowlers impressed and the middle order is slowly beginning to take a solid shape. Marlon Samuels played an innings of substance in the second Test, Shivnarine Chanderpaul showed he has plenty to offer as a batsman, Darren Bravo showed glimpses of his talent, and Kirk Edwards came to the fore. The main worry will be the openers. Adrian Barath showed he has problems against the seaming delivery and he still hasn't found a stable partner. Sammy led the team with passion, bowled his heart out but as long as he doesn't contribute with the bat, the questions will continue. Ian Bishop, the former West Indies fast bowler, reckons he has done enough to continue in this team as a captain for another year till West Indies unearth another leader.

Looks like India gave WI a draw in the final test for not playing Gayle. Why would Dhoni pull the plug with 15 overs to go?

The victory lap

thats wat that was called? which Victory may I ask??

pure crap!

WI lost the series, beaten by another C team sent by the oppposition! Rain save WI from outrigth 3-0 brown wash!! Yes, RAIN!!

Even Chanderpaul could not save us if we had all 5 full days of cricket in the last test! And even witht he rain, Dhoni took pity on us and close down shop!

BWOY SHUT YOUR SKUNT!!

India's team had more Test experience than ours!!..just look at the teams for the last Test match!!

Mukund had played two tests (against us)- and Powell on debut!!

Vijay had played ELEVEN Tests- Barath had played SIX tests

Dravid had played 152 Tests- Chanderpaul 132 Tests

Laxman had played 122 Tests- Kirk Edwards on debut

Raina had played TEN tests- Darren Bravo seven Tests

Koli played two Tests- Samuels 31 Tests

Dhoni played 56 Tests- Baugh 12 Tests

Singh played 95 Tests- Edwards 45 Tests

Sharma played 34 Tests- Rampaul 9 Tests

Kumar played two Tests- Bishoo 4 Tests

Patel 12 Tests- Sammy 14 Tests

So on average THEIR TEAM HAD MORE TEST EXPERIENCE THAN OURS!!.. so trying to claim that somehow their Team was full of kids while ours was full of our "top stars" is straight STUPID AND DUMB!! .

like you lack comprehension!!! I said C team! i didnt said youngsters! Where did you read youngsters?

Get it, Columbus??

btw - you notice how India mixing up the players and bringing in the youngsters? Unlike WI, who put 3 newbies at the top of the order!

WICB and those those around them are morons!

westindies did well goog lee..against wat is a first Indian 11, despite the absence of some of the stars...not a C or B as you are wont. enuff of their stars and next in line were present to make this a first 11.

dat vicory lap was'nt inappropriate leh mih tell yu. not at all.

the team had a lot of trouble, most of it self-imposed...but we came out well.

if sammy had taken dat kecth off dravid dat first tess might have gone different.

and if dravid had ketch shive this last tess, second innings, India wud have been playing to even the series and prolly won to make a draw series.

no matter wat westindies came out well with several very significant successes...Bishoo, Rampaul, the return of edwards, Kirk Edwards..and an overall fighting spirit..which is crucial

ARE YOU THAT FECKING RETARDED? the fact is THEIR TEAM HAD MORE TOP LEVEL EXPERIENCE THAN OURS THEREFORE THEY ALWAYS HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING, and seeing as you think you know all about India's team can you NAME THEIR "B TEAM" THEN? i doubt it because you're a dumb, clueless SKUNT!! .

Anyone who thinks that india side was their "c-team" is deluded, it's as simple as that.

[mapoui]

3 IMPORTANT PLAYERS WERE MISSING..tENDULKAR, zAHEER, SEWAG. INDIA CYAN LIVE WITHOUT YUVRAJ.

THEIR REPLACEMENTS WERE CAPABLE, ON THE VERGE OF TEST SELECTION. IF THOSE MISSING PLAYERS WERE RETIRED OR INJURED THESE WUD BE THE PLAYERS WHO WUD REPLACE THEM AND BECOME THE INDIAN FIRST 11.

SO DEH ARE HERE NOW AND ARE FIRST 11. AND WESTINDIES FOUGHT THEM ALL THE WAY AND WITH SOME LUCk CUD HAVE DRAWN THE SERIES AT THE VERY LEAST

[Googley]

once again and for that dumbass Afro, if wasn't it for the Rain, WI would have been white/black/brown washed (or whatever you want to call it).

WI never had a chance with the rain's help!

The illusion of a fight is just that, an illusion! Even with all the rain in the last test, India had a chance to win but they backed off and played it safe!

now, dispute that Sherlock!
