India were crushed by WI yesterday. Andre Russel and Martin bowled out India for 146. India were beaten by 103 runs.
West Indies were helped by a whirlwind 70 by Keiron Pollard, who at last, came back to form. He blasted 70 off 72 balls, in a great display of batting. The Indian batsmen have only themselves to blame, as their shot selection was ridiculous and inexplicable.
249 is a competitive score and WI were happy that they could put up such a score, after being 103/5. Pollard was helped by Baugh, the wicket keeper, who scored 39. Andre Russel scored 25 and WI were 249/8 at the end of 50 overs.
Leg spinner Antony Martin swung the game for the West Indies, picking up four wickets. Andre Russel got three and they bowled India out for a paltry 146. Sammy picked up two wickets.
Tiwary was all at sea when the Indian innings began. He scratched around for 17 balls and was dropped by Bravo off Roach in the slips. He couldnt play bouncers and was out to Sammy for 2. Sammy removed Patel also and all except Rohit Sharma, who scored 39, failed miserably !
