Actually would bring in Carlos if Barath is not 100%.. and let Hyatt opens with Simmons. The first ODI win was not as convincing for me.. Batting already deep so firm up the bowling..

Barath
Simmons
Samuels
Darren
Hyatt
Pollard
Ramdin (c)
Russell
Rampaul
Roach
Bishoo

I'd leave it as it is, if Barath is injured then play Powell, i'd also consider playing Brathwaite instead of Roach but i'm still eager to see Roach get his form back.

"Not convinced"? :shock: we scored near 300, and on a batters paridise we bogged them down and took wickets at vital times, in the end we won by 40 runs, what more could we do? :lol: lets remember at home Bangledash beat England in the world cup and also beat NZ 4-0 in an ODI series, a team ranked higher than us, plus they were buzzing from the T20 win, so needless to say i think our win was very good indeed.

What if Sammy has recovered from his upset stomach? Like your side but would like to see Russell as a pinch hitter if and when such situation presents itself... 8-)

My thing about resting Barath is due to that Hammy of his....

Here is a convincing victory...
India 300/7 v England 174 (36.1/50 ov)
India won by 126 runs
WI didn't bowled out the opponent before the allotted overs like India ... Look a win is a win but just don't like how things went defending the runs..

I'm working all day tomorrow outdoors, so I'm going to miss this match....
:cry:
Still, this would be my XI....

Hyatt
Simmons
Samuels
Darren
Pollard
Ramdin
Sammy (c)
Russell
Rampaul
Martin
Bishoo

If Barath has a problem with his hammy, then he needs to rest it for the Tests, which run five days, as we all know, and he needs to be fully fit for that....

Roach looked really rusty and below his best, so I'd say let him skip this ODI, and maybe play in the third. Sammy back 8-) , and bring in Martin to offer something else in the spin department.

You're Balloil!!.. for a start INDIA WERE AT HOME, if we were at home i'm sure our win would have been more emphatic, but the fact is Bang had the crowd behind them and were in high spirits after the T20 win, so what more could we have done? the pitch we had yesterday was much worse than that Indian one too!!.

Thanks for confirming that I am actually BallOil! :lol: :lol: :lol: Mista for you next time :P

come on we usually prepared pitches for out guests, talk about being good host. Regarding home crowds, we can hardly fill the stands except for Guyana.. 8-)
