India in a spot of bother 104/6
scorecard
could it be India is distracted by riots or is just licks?
BTW, I want the Windians to see that England selected their "best team".
Rebuilding lingo is just an excuse for prolong BS

Those galoots are just getting a thrashing by a better team England. Oh how I am enjoying this! In Caribbean terms, this is called a good cutarse!!!

Dhoni's making a stand, but the poms just playing too well lately.

if they can get close to 300 it might not be that bad for India

There are only three players in this Indian side who played in the IPL, and then missed the subsequent Test and ODI tour of the Caribbean, and they all failed to pass 40.
Sehwag was out for a duck, Sachin made one, and Gambhir struggled to reach 38.
I am a happy man!
Justice has been served. No mercy for players who value the IPL over Test and ODI cricket....

Dhoni is batting like a true leader in this game, taking on the poms despite the poor start.

Mike I see what you saying but these guys have to make a living. IPL offering lucrative salaries and you can't blame the players but the BCCI.

If WI are the same then it'd be more justifiable that a 8th ranked team received such a tonking as opposed to the no1 ranked team , don't you think?
