***Official*** West Indies in India 2013

never knew you were an Indian hater :-O
Haha I'm not at all really. As you know I do like a lot of the players individually. Dislike the BCCI for obvious reasons but my dislike of the West Indian team balance is trumping that for this game.

I'm actually quite scared they'll continue with Ishant + Bhuvneshwar and forget about Yadav.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they actually picked the complete opposite to that and went with Yadav + Shami.
Haha. Actually both scenarios feel like they're more likely to occur as opposed to what I would pick (Yadav + Bhuvneshwar).
Interesting how none of these actually occurred :p

Nah... Should have flighted it more... No coincidence he's causing just a hint of trouble now that he's fighting it
You start flighting the ball when you are a bit confident and comfortable, not right from the start. Stop talking out of your ass as usual.

Woah woah... What did I say? :huh:
Ashwin imo did bowl it flat for longer than necessary.

Why does everyone here talk like pricks? It's not as if I said something ridiculous

Check Cricinfo ball-by-ball commentary to refresh your memory. He started flighting it in his third over.
I'm watching the game man, I know what happened, and tbf it was maybe one ball per over he flighted, he bowled well later but he certainly should've attacked a little more early on IMO

He bowled 4 overs of sliders, that's going a bit far
I was always instructed by my coach to use the first few overs to get my accuracy, line and length in order before trying to turn the ball as a kid. This just looks normal to me.

I am too. We're all susceptible to distorted observations though

But early in the spell is a good time to take wickets as well - before the batsman settles in, if he is just facing the same flat stuff for 4 overs you're letting him off the hook IMO

Obviously it is different if you are bowling to a complete spin-bunny but if the batsman looks like he can play you competently, you don't try fancy **** immediately. Maybe if you are feeling adventurous on that day and don't mind the coach cussing you and your family from the boundary for doing stupid ****.:p

Depends on your mindset at that moment really.
