Sensational first T20 match between India and WI in Florida

[Proudpakistaniguy]

The pitch was a cake for batsman as 500 runs were scored. West Indies 245 for 6 (Lewis 100, Charles 79) beat India 244 for 4 (Rahul 110*, Rohit 62, Bravo 2-37) by 1 run .Jadeja described it well

One hell of a match it was.
Though, it would have been nice to see India win.

ICC needs to popularize cricket in US

KL Rahul has really impressed me, consistency is brilliant.
@anant_s , Dhoni was actually looking to clear the covers and run two. Bravo bowled a slower ball following Dhoni, edged it to Short-third man. I think he should have gone for it, gone for a big one.
Brilliant game, feeling sorry for the bowlers.

this ploy of bowling slow and full outside offstump (just inside wide markers) is getting increasingly popular amongst bowlers on crunch bowls such as free hits and last bowls etc.
Bravo perhaps read Dhoni's mind that he will be heaving and thus bowled very intelligently (throughout last over infact).
Last ball result usually means heart break for one team, unfortunately it was India that day. but i believe they came back very well yesterday and bowlers learnt quickly. In my mind that is what defines a good team, someone who can adapt and change quickly.

BTW with the kind of attendance seen at Lauderhill, won't be a bad idea to host some T20 matches in US. CPL and now this 2 match series has generated a great interest and hopefully it will draw more crowds towards game.

PS: Are you following SL AUS ODI series? some really tight games reminiscent of the way cricket was played in late 90s and bowlers having a dominant role for a change.

Pitches are very poor and Australia is playing really well.

& just how well is this man bowling at the moment

feeling sorry for the bowlers.

Thats true, when bowlers like Nariane start to go for 45+ runs in their spell of 4 overs, as a cricketer, you know, you are not in correct trade.

Starc bowls a beautiful length, always pitches it up and swings it. Amir is not consistent with his length, Amir needs a season or two to improve.

Agreed.

Hi,

You should know---sh-it happens---like Misbah scooped the ball to the leg side---he could have hit it anywhere else---.
