Men in Blue - The Reality Check


With the world cup matches slated to be played in West-indies, it is very logical that the men in blue get used to the West-indies playing conditions.

Before the start of matchs with West-Indies, India was the clear favourite. Four matches then, it is a different story altogether. West-indies ranked 8th in the ODI rating has won the series even before the last match is yet to be played. After the first match thou, it looked as if the Indians were on course. But with every match then West-indies were doing better and they really outplayed Indians in every aspect of the game in the last match. The Indian batting didn't work as it worked earlier. Perhaps it is a tribute to the legend Lara for this might well be his last match in his home ground. One positive point about the tour is that Shewagh and Kaif have started playing better. Let us home that Indians improve over time and will be in race for the 2007 world cup.

Whatever be the way, the result is same. In whatever way you take it, how can you justify India loosing to a side ranked 8th that too so convincingly.
