Day 20: India vs West Indies
Do WI have a chance today? Their batting looks like it might struggle against the Indian spin attack .
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
They will need Roach and Taylor to do damage against Indian top 4. If they can get 3 wickets before 15 overs, I think they will win.
Just keep winning, India. Win big please.
I think batting first will cost them the game tbh. India will play better with a total in mind but like you said a few early wickets and it could get interesting real quick
West Indies have quite a few big hitters in the team. India need to keep picking wickets early and at regular intervals. If they let WI score 300+, under lights it can get tricky even with India's strong batting lineup.
Our bowlers look good. Good call to bring back Shami, I probably wouldn't have done that
You've got Shami TMH?
Was wondering why India was playing on a Friday then realized it's a public holiday. It really is shameless.
Have a feeling WI will collapse and put up less than 200.
lol yes. Sadly not as captain though.
Lol, I went for Mohit. You'll win that battle for sure.
Yeah this is gonna be a cakewalk it seems.
I hope WI put enough on board so that my captain, Sir Rohit, get chance to score good amount of points
Said it. Collapse incoming
WI folding.
Too easy this. Bring on the big boys
Hope he goes first ball.I hope WI put enough on board so that my captain, Sir Rohit, get chance to score good amount of points
Feck sake, save some wickets for Ashwin.
I had Ramdin too! ffs -15Hope he goes first ball.

Who else can bat from WI lower middle order?
I got SamuelsI had Ramdin too! ffs -15
Lot many. Russell, Sammy, Holder. In fact, those guys often do better job than WI top/top-middle order.
Apart from this world cup,never watched these guys play.We got two spinners and I'm not sure how they would cope up with,anyway testing time for them.
*yawn* was hoping to see a proper match today, at this rate Windies won't even make 100
So whats India's most likely quarterfinal opponent at this stage?
Should be England if they beat Bangladesh
England or Bangladesh.
WI players are totally braindead. All they needed to do was maintain a RR of around 4-4.5 without taking risks till 35th over and then use big hitters and set batsmen to get 120 odd in last 15 and setup a challenging total.
England won't be easy. Can't wait for the shitty group stage to end
They don't have any proper cricketers. The bowlers are shit and the batsmen are all sloggers. Pollard and Bravo aren't the only two that should've been dropped from this squad.
Decent total this considering where they were
Its 183,looks like a challenging score.
We've given away 40-50 runs extra here.
Not bad from WI.. Couple of early wickets and who knows what might happen.. After the Australian tour,no matter how low a total we chase,I just don't have the confidence to say we will do it for sure..
Ya.. Dropped catches hurt us a little..
Not sure if it's a deflated performance by the WIndies or the pitch helped the bowlers. If it's the latter, I would be very circumspect about our batting.
Yes,21 Extras out of it 16 are wides.
I don't mind chasing 180 here. Better to be tested a bit rather than stroll to another 90-100 target. What I said still holds to an extend, Windies get past out top 4 before 15 overs and they will have a great chance to win it.
Exactly, catches and extras. Good thing is that means there's still scope for improvement
Come on India, don't make a mess of this.
Oh dear.
If we finish top, our quarter final will be in NZ? Not sure I fancy that, especially if it's against England
