West Indies vs India, 4th ODI

For the West Indies, it is to regain the pride that lies in tatters after three demoralizing defeats.
Captain Darren Sammy has struggled to explain why his players are finding in heavy conditions at home against an opposition that is without its top stars.

It 'been vocal in his criticism of the apparent lack of demand from his players.

Sammy blamed the lack of "killer instinct" as a reason for the team not being able to win.

He admitted that the batsmen were not up to running the label and that he expected a bit 'fast bowler Kemar Roach more.

"We were always runs at the top. We just lacked the finishing touch. On our bowling, Kemar is one of our strike bowlers and we needed a little 'more from him. But I can not blame anyone who has did a good job in recent months. If you put the ball in the right areas, you may bear fruit on this wicket, "Sammy said.

What is encouraging for the West Indies is the inspiration to knock Russell. A hurricane unbeaten 92 from number nine hitter is just the kind of inspiration the host batsmen to hit big in the remaining two matches and make the final score more respectable.

An unbeatable 3-0 in hand, India would now aim for a clean sweep, while trying new players when they take a side demoralized West Indies in the fourth game of the five matches irrelevant one-day international series here tomorrow.

Led by Suresh Raina, India's second string team gave a good account of itself dominating the struggling Caribbean, which has been further weakened by the lack of big hitting Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo as reliable performers.

 

In reality, the series has made a world of good for the young Indian players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Raina himself.

They have proved as combatants in situations of tension, prompting coach Duncan Fletcher said that given the talent pool, its departments are set to dominate world cricket for another decade or so.

"It 's because of the amount of talent in India. Cricket in India is in a very, very healthy now," Fletcher said after India won the series with a three-wicket victory yesterday.

The right hand batsman Manoj Tiwary could get a look at after Raina has made it clear that the reserve players may be fielded for the remaining two games.
