"We were really eager to get going in this series," said a delighted Indian captain Virat Kohli, whose double century led his side’s batting, after the match.

"Everything came together nicely, from the batting performance to dismissing the West Indies twice. We went with three seamers because of the amount of grass on the wicket and it worked for us."

Dont read too much into it, Virat !

Chairman of Selectors hail from Barbados:

so he stacked the squad with 5 of his countrymen !

Your real "demolition" were the guys from Barbados national XI:

whom were beaten BY Guyana in the regional championship twice in a row.  Wink

Barbados began the final round needing to win to have a chance of toppling Guyana

at the top of the table, and they did everything they had to do.

But Guyana did the same, and so Barbados finished second.


Prize award !!

Selection Panel MUST be impartial and select based on say,

last 2 years REGIONALS !

Justice for Leon and Cheesy !!

Look at that mighty beard on Kohli.

When a young man grows a beard like that, it means he's entered a state of Zen-like focus.

Yeah but he is misguided in celebrating a Bajan  "demolition" ::LOL::

Please advise him that was NOT a W.I. squad chosen on Performance:

with BOTH Bat and ball...

That's true. He didn't really face a strong attack. He only faced Gabriel, our most threatening bowler, for a handful of deliveries, and only scored 10 runs off him.

I'd love to see Kohli tour England again whilst Anderson and Broad are at their peak. It will be interesting to see if they're able to dominate him again, or if he's adapted and improved.

I believe India play about 18 months of home games after this WI tour, so Kohli's likely to make mountains of runs over the next 2 years.

Cricket is a uncertain game and the current wins would mean nothing if in the future the Indian team loses. Many a players and teams have fallen because of resting on their past laurels, lets just hope this Indian squad is on the same path and they are actually able to realize the strength of the west indies and play accordingly.
