We next visit India and here is our WI lineup for the first test:

[kanegan]

1st Test: IND vs WI

We win the toss and elect to bat first.

1st Inngs - WI

Chase failed this time but Brathwaite and Bravo hit centuries as we post 427. Bumrah was the most successful for the Indians with 4 wkts.


1st Inngs - Ind


The opening partnership was a major pain in the ass with Dhawan smashing a double century and Vijay hitting his own century with useful contributions in the middle order from Kohli and Pujara meant they declared at 512 after rain ate away almost 2 hrs of play. Jerome Taylor was the most successful for us with 4 wickets.


2nd Inngs - WI

And our second innings horror-show continued as we capitulated for just 186 with nobody crossing 50. Bumrah added a further 4 wickets to his name.


2nd Inngs - Ind

An easy victory for the no.1 Ranked Test team as Dhawan ensured they would win with 10 wickets in hand.

2nd Test: IND vs WI

We lost the toss and were put in to bat first.

1st Inngs - WI

Chase was back in form with a very slow 93 and Lewis and Holder's contributions ensured we went past 350 and posted 389. Bumrah continued to shine with yet another 4 wicket haul.


1st Inngs - Ind

Vijay and Rishabh Pant went past 50 with Bubaneshwar Kumar coming close to it but Alzarri Joseph who was playing his 1st test since the series against Sri Lanka where he was injured after playing just one match showed his potential with a 6 wicket haul.


2nd Inngs - WI

Bumrah kept on adding 4 wickets every time he bowled as our consistent poor second inning runs continued as we posted only 163.


2nd Inngs - Ind

Bishoo almost made a match of it by returning Sharma and Pant in quick succession with Joseph also trying hard but they held on to win by 9 wickets as once again our second innings had failed as we lose our third consecutive test series in 2018.



India leads series 2-0 with Jasprit Bumrah declared MOM

1st Inngs - WI

Chase hit yet another half century and Reifer contributed with a 58 but still could muster only 235. Bumrah added a further 4 wickets to his name.


1st Inngs - Ind

Kohli finally hits a century and Sreyas Iyer comes inches close to his 100 as they post a mammoth 433 with the two spinners, Miller and Bishoo picking up 4 apiece.


2nd Inngs - WI

Despite Chase fighting on, he did not get any support from the other end as the two spinners, Yadav and Ashwin ensured an innings win and a clean sweep for the Indians.

Tough going but some encouraging performances in there

Tough going but some encouraging performances in there

Well, losing to No. 1 test team in their home is quite alright and i can live with it but the problem is we are losing big and what hurt more was losing the two test series in home against Sri Lanka and Ban. Hoping for a better performance in the ODI series against India.

The rest of the one day also finished with us on the losing side. 5th One day was washed out so we lost the One Day series 4-0, a complete whitewash. Everybody had starts but nobody took responsibility to carry the team.

We have won just 1 out of last 8 tests and only 2 out of last 7 ODI's. ??????

Finally, Universe Boss is back. He showed his class carrying his bat while scoring 75 and giving us the lead in the one day series.



West Indies leads ODI series 1-0

[kanegan]

2nd ODI

BAN

A pretty below average score from Bangladesh with none of their batsmen consolidating their starts.


WI

Evin Lewis and Hetmyer tried their best but played very slow and in the end we could post only 164 even after playing 50 overs and being only 3 wickets down. This was pathetic.


Bangladesh draws the ODI series 1-1

[kanegan]

3rd ODI

BAN

Another below average score but after last ODI, i was pretty sceptical.


WI

This was unreal. We again started pretty slow and we needed 60 of the last 6 overs but Shai Hope decided at that moment to become a hero and smashed a century with 5 sixes and 4 fours in the last 6 overs to win this match for us and our first away ODI series win. Fantastic hitting from the wicket keeper.


WI wins the series 2-1.
