Yet another WI collapse. This is so predictable and tragi-comic. Rampaul is gone after batting beautifully and putting so called top order batsmen to shame. He does his best while bowling or batting. WI needs more hardworking, committed cricketers like him.

Oh as if you really expected this bunch of WIndians to win this test! To get the lost glory of WI the country needs another 500 years. With NBA and AFL/NFL luring the WI's for easy money, do not ever expect a miracle in WI cricket. Not in 500 years (or after).

BTW What have they done to their older stars? Why don't we hear Lloyd, Kallicharan, Richards in the WICB? Only Lloyd remians on the ICC but the rest are in dust. Unfortunately the country does not even care. When the world cup was staged Richards was nowhere in the country's admin but was playing golf elsewhere.

Windies are 66 runs away. Last wicket showing a lot of character.

India wins the 1st test match hooray !!

as usual harbhajan sux. if he wants to compete for a batting spot he should be picked instead of kohli and raina, not in addition to them. ashwin has been kept out for too long for no good reason.

Both birthday (6/23) boys scored ZERO (Sarvan and Baugh). Ironic Isn't it?

Should we probably say... the usual UNCHARACTERISTIC Indian side especially when it comes to closing down when only 3 or 5 wickets remained?

WI did well to score the highest total in the 4th innings. Good job by their batting coach Desmond Haynes. In retrospect, the partnership between Mishra and Dravid yesterday proved to be match winning.
All in all, a great match and good advertisement for test cricket.

Bhajji and Mishra both sucked. But Dhoni felt that the breeze made it difficult for spinners to bowl the right line.

It was a delight to watch him. I was happy with the way the last innings played out -- wasn't as completely one-sided as I thought it would be.

Congrats Carvaka for congratulating India, Sania, Sachin and Sonia.
