[aklemalp]

Hard work on the first day of the tour game against India Board President's XI

Most of the bowlers going over 4 an over.

Bishoo took 3
Gabriel 2


Impressed with the figures of Sherman Lewis, replacement player for the injured Alzarri Joseph: 10-6-13-1

We Prtivi Shaw out cheaply for 8 runs. Shannon strucked

[Gowza]

Interesting, no Vijay (expected) or Dhawan so most likely Rahul will open and one of the other two will debut. Siraj got an 8fer recently so might see him in the xi as well.

Lokesh and Prithvi will open.

This is where Shaw makes a century on debut. Best shot to do it

I guess based on pecking order it should be Rahul and shaw but you never know with the Indian team. There was a bit of an out cry when shaw got picked in England over mayank.

[Tausif]

Maybe Rahul and Agarwal will open. Who knows. Agarwal deserves a shot after such a great domestic season.

I like both of these guys. They are the future.

[aklemalp]

Unbeaten century for Sunil Ambris...came at more than a run-a-ball: 114*(98) with 17x4, 5x6.

That's 98 runs in boundaries.

Good to see our top order getting some runs. Kraigg with 52, and Powell with 44
Dowrich with a half century...

[simon]

Indian cricketers got no life.

[aklemalp]

So Prithvi Shaw is going to debut...Let's see how it goes

[aklemalp]

Looks like we got a wicket in the first over...Shannon strikes.

Lbw Lokesh Rahul

Go Windies!

[Gowza]

Rahul has heaps of talent but his consistency is lacking

[aklemalp]

We are playing without two of our main bowlers. ..no roach and holder.

Kraigg is captain.

Sherman Lewis gets a debut

[aklemalp]

Krishna says: "Gavaskar and Manjrekar are like proud parents gushing over their kids whenever Shaw is batting." - Hmm, no comments.

[aklemalp]

Too many boundary balls being bowled.

I reckon India is gonna score close to 700 on this pitch

[aklemalp]

Youngest at the time of maiden Test 50 (India):
16y 214d S Tendulkar v Pak, Faisalabad, 1989
18y 301d Parthiv Patel v Aus, SCG, 2004
18y 329d PRITHVI SHAW v WI, Rajkot, 2018
19y 215d R Shastri v Eng, Delhi, 1981
19y 291d D Karthik v Pak, Kolkata, 2005

[Rifat_02]

West Indies gets lot of series in India even now , however I don't remember when was the last time we played an ODI series in India , probably never.

[Gowza]

Has anyone got a double hundred on debut?

[Gowza]

Well not happening today shaw out for 134

[Gowza]

Rahane needs something this tour, prob won’t be dropped after it if he doesn’t do something but the next one he might be.

[Jadukor]

Another great batting talent emerging for India.

[aklemalp]

That was an innings that feasted on ball bowling earlier on. He got on top early.

Was a great innings to have witnessed.

He's gonna be a great player for India in the coming years

[One World]

Hope youngsters like Shadman and other batsmen in their twenties like Shanto and Ariful keeping a sharp eye on Shaw.

How to bring in your A game for national service? Soon we will play the same WIndies team and this time cannot consume lowest total at home.

[RealSports]

West Indies will be touring us after this series, so our series with them will be that more tougher. I hope management are keeping an eye.
