India stutter to win a 4-wicket

Port of Spain: Stuttering in a competition of ordinary cotton line-up, India to a 4-wicket win, India had the extra quality to successfully under-par West Indies, chasing a total. West India Company seemed to be missing India's bowling skills and handle, but her melons and field players were spirited in defense, pulling down India. The top order faltered after a fast start, but Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina India captain stabilized from 104 for 4.

 It was a slow and low track all right, quickly become the norm in the West Indies now, but was not tricky enough, either in whole or in West Indies India had to fight there to justify. The only batsmen that were probably seemed Marlon Samuels, Raina and Rohit eventually. Samuels 'half century, injected some life into West Indies' innings limp after early exit doors and an extra careful Ramnaresh Sarwan, they had to crawl to 74 for 3 in 25 overs.

Raina has been similar for India with a long effort, but it was Rohit the exciting work. There were two Rohit on the display. The first came, they saw Devendra Bishoo spin on it and started digging at all. The Rohit refused to work hard slog and looked on his way. The next Shikhar Dhawan Rohit, who is his girl half a century in a convincing manner and looked made out at any moment struck.

It was during a period of the legspinners Bishoo and Anthony Martin kept playing on a short leash, with Darren Sammy and the tender box player providing the support cast. 13.2 overs India had not a single border. The nervousness was evident. S Badrinath played 11 points ahead of straight edges make Bishoo, 61 for 3rd to rub off the roads Rohit Dhawan, trying to run every ball hit for four, found either an edge or a field player. His sweep gate, a slog that Martin gave his first wicket was a freight train coming.

However, Rohit was the self-destructive period until then. And also a critical moment in the 24th over, when a close LBW shout was decided in his favor. He played Bishoo for the turn and the straighter one's back pad before you kissed the bat. And it was exactly. The referee could not really not sure it was accused of hit the pad first, but the West Indies could claim that the DRS would have got her husband.

These early hiccups negotiated, the other Rohit was the one with the eyelash in a sweaty shirt, running hard to transform ourselves to those in two and scored his first 30 runs without a limit. Raina came in and pushed a few boundaries to calm things further. Rohit first boundary was a pleasure: an Inside-Out Chip for six off Sammy. The two in 14.3 overs were 80, not hurried at all. Raina have killed us to do things in the batting powerplay and a physical fight Rohit would have had to dig much deeper Martin had stuck to a simple return catch by Yusuf Pathan at 189 for 5.

Another half a captain in the match Sarwan, had done a much better start than Rohit, but played himself into a shell, providing another critical period in the game. West Indies had lost to a similar start as India lost two wickets after a quickish start, but Sarwan's 63-ball stand with Kirk Edwards presented 38 points. Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra and Harbhajan Singh - who went for 108 in their 30 overs for five wickets - rolled good, but not least, because the batsmen allowed them. Neither looked to fall and run fast individual, nor was a single outfield player under pressure. Harbhajan reaped the reward as Edwards top-edged a straighter one.

Samuels, though, has the urgency to attack Yusuf, the first man to have a strike rate of over 50. After a period of 12 overs for 56, at 130 for 3, they asked for the batting powerplay. Forty-three lost came from the power play, but Sarwan West Indies to a tingling in the legs page. The real shock came after the power play as Raina slipped a short delivery time by Samuels' legs and Harbhajan has Bravo with a doosra that dipped and kicked. The rest was only 23 to the 191 for 6 in the 45th add on, India offers a seemingly easy to hunt. As it turned out, it was dehydrated, cramping up and a little luck, remove it Rohit.
