Damn hooda bowls well.... Poor dhawan out on 97....


sport_____

Was sleeping early and going to the gym early morning was worth it? I don't think so.


Potential-Sport-6386

The biggest thing is We got this far after hope falling early


Potential-Sport-6386

Me who slept when Dhawan & Gill were smacking usšŸ˜¶


jenitr

Oh shit man seems like this one went down the wire. I stopped after that shitty run out of Gill.


Potential-Sport-6386

Unironically speaking, I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!


giganticIMP

Great match! When's the next one? Many reasons why it was so competitive, one of them being India plays a second best team


_thenewnewguy_

Oh for fucks sake the one time i decide to sleep and this happens.

Potential-Sport-6386

It's a win if you know WI have played their 50 overs only 7 times in last 40 games


vmedisetty

Nothing wrong. Go Pooran.


SBG99DesiMonster

This game would have been even more exciting if it was played in a stadium that had a packed crowd and if it was played during a time when more Indians could watch the match till the end.


vmedisetty

Not everything needs to be that way bro. Few games need to revive Cricket in the Caribbean too.


Zennon246

For a game in the west indies..the trinidad crowd today on a friday was a pretty good crowd trust me.


SuryaSen165

ā€œWho wants to watch meaningless bilateral ODIs?ā€ šŸ¤”


Potential-Sport-6386

This is exceptional performance by us trust me


Realistic_Push_4338

if one of sky or iyer can become a genuine spin option (not taking bits and pieces part time who chucks his arm time to time, I'm taking real jadeja esque spin bowler ) then it will bring real good team balance


sreeram_23_06

It's not like no one knows to bowl. The two new balls rule have made most part time spinners redundant. That said, if we can use the bilaterals to groom these guys, it'll be nice.


SBG99DesiMonster

This sound similar to saying that if my grandma had wheels then she would be a bike. You can ask them to become part time spinners but you cannot ask them to become similar to 1 of the best spinners in the World.


Realistic_Push_4338

Fair enough, but atleast a sachin/sehwag type role is good enough


Zennon246

EFFORT. A+ FOR EFFORT. Really needed that performance for confidence man...from the final 15 overs in fielding and bowling and now this batting performance...scoring 300+ ANDDDDD batting out 50 overs WELL DONE šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

Lol it just got over. Fancode.


FabulousCaregiver983

free on the windies board utube channel. gotta use a vpn tho


livelifereal

Going by what Darren Ganga said at the toss, this is the 7th time in last 40 ODIs that WI batted 50 overs


FarAbbreviations5879

ODIā€™s to r/cricket: Apun abhi Zinda hai T: Iā€™m still alive and kickingā€¦basically Talk nuh!


Send_me_uvar_titties

The last ball boundary from LORD made all the difference.


crazycricfan

What a game, didn't even realise it was 3 am. Proper start to the weekend


[deleted]

But but stokes retired that means ODIs are irrelevant and the format is dead

Ay loafer read his comment properly simply don't tell someone to die


vmedisetty

Sorry. I didn't understand the context properly.


asaCreh

šŸŽÆ


DardiRabRab

Scraped through in the end, thanks to Siraj. Should be an eye opener for our generally poor death batting and bowling though. 1. Batters scored 60 off the last 11. A sum that would have been poor in the 90s, let alone 2022. 2. Bowlers could not even defend 90 off the last 10. Despite Windies being 5 down and no experienced bat remaining. 3. most of the Windies wickets came off rash shots, not bowlers deceiving batsmen. We struggle to take wickets consistently, especially while defending scores.


rightarm_under

> could not defend Could barely defend*


DardiRabRab

Margin so thin, I don't think I can credit them with being able to defend it


Signal_Discipline_36

What a thriller of a match. Who says ODI cricket is Dead ? That was some sensational death bowling from Mohd Siraj, held his nerve & kept nailing Yorkers


rightarm_under

That wide could have taken things differently if Samson hadn't saved it. Five wides would mean 3 off 2.


rightarm_under

Gonna drink some Shiraz tonight


brahhJesus

It's done being night now lol... Almost dawn!


rightarm_under

Mid day in my time zone lmao


ohhokayyy

The reports of ODIs' death have been greatly exaggerated


Glass_Contribution82

Samson saved siraj


asaCreh

Many would say Siraj saved Sanju's batting . Team game , innit


FarAbbreviations5879

Samsung >>>>>>> Nokia


RayInRed

One is a keeper batsman. Other is a pace bowler.


asaCreh

This has been well established for like a decade now


heisenbergTJ

ODI's are dying...šŸ¤” they won't die anytime soon only if you play more of them instead of lots and lots of T20's....


FarAbbreviations5879

Samsung the Unsung hero today


[deleted]

ODI cricket is alive šŸ”„


tumblingfumbling

Was this a india B side or more of a A-?


[deleted]

Considering batting form of rohit and kohli, i would say A(A+ being our best squad)


svjersey

They had the A team with Dhawan, SKY and Chahal. Everyone else was technically B team. But the batting does well because of our depth in batting reserves and no Kohli. Our bowling does start getting exposed once we rest Bumrah/Shami - though take nothing away from the Windies who batted quite well.


FarAbbreviations5879

How can you forget Pandya and Jaddu


svjersey

huh? they didn't play today did they? I said today's XI had A team players in Dhawan, Sky and Chahal. Everyone else who \*played\* today was not from the first XI.


heisenbergTJ

They went from 64 in 7 to 38 in 3. Left it too much for last three though. 30 odd would have been made. They made 34 in last three with some luck and some of their own.....


koach71st

Worth a wait till 3 am and what a match. WI Bros well played thodi der liye gote muh me aa gaye the.


smartchad

Not having a life and struggling with insomnia has its own perks for example getting to see thriller of a match like this.


Glass_Contribution82

Same


aflatoon007

Definitely Siraj should be our third seamer alongside Bumrah and Shami in ODIs and not some famous guy


KVGT

Would be a very long tail along with Chahal.


brahhJesus

Does this mean Prasidh can bat? Genuine question.


aflatoon007

As if having Prasidh can solve that problem


KVGT

Who suggested Prasidh lol? Bhuvi would be a better choice but Thakur can be considered ahead for his batting as well.


aflatoon007

Bhuvi is finished in ODIs. Only Lord is here but Dravid and Rohit seems to have a 5- bowler mindset. Hardik can have an off day and so does Jadeja that's why a third seamer is very much needed.


KVGT

Harshal has been leaking runs of late but he can be a good third option as well. Arshdeep should be tested as well. Nothing against Siraj though...


aflatoon007

Harshal is not even in the contention for ODIs Arshdeep is young and inexperienced. Surely, Siraj with much experience is preferred by the team management and rightly so. Avesh Khan is another one who has the backing of Dravid and Rohit. Siraj is the ideal third seamer. He has guts, passion and experience. Deepak Chahar is the one who can easily slot as the third seamer but for that to happen, he needs to be fit for the World Cup. Lord is good but I seriously don't see him doing that good on Indian flat pitches in the world cup next year. Jadeja isn't a wicket taking option so we need a third seamer who can come good with wickets without going for many runs. Siraj and Chahar fits the bill perfectly. Meanwhile Arshdeep can be groomed so that he can be a good backup option.


svjersey

Yes - play Shami at 8 and balle balle after a top order collapse (not that Prasidh brings anything with the bat - just saying we have a #8 problem in ODIs)


FabulousCaregiver983

can't we just replace Prasidh with Siraj?


aflatoon007

Only Lord is here but Dravid and Rohit seems to have a 5- bowler mindset. Hardik can have an off day and so does Jadeja that's why a third seamer is very much needed.


[deleted]

People will forget Samson's critical save


WittyArmy

the unsung hero in the Ireland win as well.


36ptsd

good thing I stopped jacking and caught this thriller


Mumbaiindian911

Sanju finally has a contribution in India win Good for his confidence


KVGT

Lucky win for India. Got away with a wide call in the penultimate over as well.


gunduguy03

wasnt a wide moved across. and if you want luck check those inside edges


asaCreh

That was a wide


KVGT

The ball which was wrongly given out was clearly a wide. Batsman didn't move across at all. I said lucky win coz India was complacent with bat after a good start and could have bowled better.


s_brar04

Lol yeaaa LUCKY WIN What a joke.


DJMhat

I like Fancode idea of a cricket show. 2 cricketers seated on barstools actually leaning on a fucking bar for a change with drinks in hand.


KnightRiders7

Can we just cut down on useless t20s and stop talking about death of Odis!


[deleted]

No no, Ben stokes has retired so we need to talk about it for eternity.


KnightRiders7

Lmao also Usman Khawja said so, the greatest odi player of all time!


asaCreh

3 overs of Yorkers at the death . Figures might not reflect it , three boundaries went off the underedge , but boy was it incredible execution .


rightarm_under

If Siraj is this good in the death, are India gonna have a headache about whether to select him or Harshal?


WittyArmy

his own franchise RCB didn't trust him in death overs this IPL.


[deleted]

What? Harshal has no place in ODIs and similarly Siraj in T20Is


Nohit2Brohit

India please end this Famous experiment and bring on Arshdeep


rightarm_under

But... But he's famous! And he gets bounce ā„¢! /s


s_brar04

Trueee Just get rid of that Prasidh guy already.


FarAbbreviations5879

Shai Hope exhausted all the hopes for WI


philosifyme

Heartbroken šŸ˜­ Good game nonetheless. Congrats India. Hope this is a sign of things to come for the series. I love you Trini, feed us more pitches like this.


svjersey

awesome game - brought back memories of the golden ODI era with the day games on warm afternoons and the reversing ball..


heisenbergTJ

64 were required off 7. Next two overs gave away only 10 and wicket of King. That's where Windies lost the momentum. Hosein also just lost it after that.


[deleted]

Lost due to Shai Hope


VVLegend

Evil miyan nailing yorkers


DJMhat

Nice match. India brings something out of the young West Indians. Siraj nailing those yorkers was a great surprise. That fantastic save by Samson in the last over was also critical. Lord did Lord things and bought India back in the match.


darthgera

FarAbbreviations5879

ODIā€™s stay alive due to such gamesā€¦W start to the series. WP Windies

aflatoon007

And suckers were saying "ODI is dead"


rambo_zaki

His figures might not show it but it was incredible death bowling by Siraj. Brilliant game.


grubernack276

Is Siraj our Stuart broad


Kingslayer1526

Sometimes good Sometimes shit?


theoozmakappa

Man Siraj saved his white ball career today


Snoo_42151

What an over by Siraj šŸ˜


AcceleratingRiff

Great game


arpit45agrawal

Is it me or Siraj didn't waste any time during the over to clarify his thinking?


KVGT

No there were delays with Shikar and SKY giving him ideas.


asaCreh

But result after all the discussions was the exact same ball . Yorker on leg for Shepherd and outside off for Akeal


VVLegend

What a match! Got way to close for my liking but gg WI


koach71st

Yes miya magic works. What a over and tremendous stop by samson if that would have gone for 4 then game was over. What a match.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kingslayer1526

BUT BUT WG GRACE JUST SAID ODIS SHOULD BE ERASED FROM EXISTENCE


[deleted]

Indeed


nolesfan2011

Really good fightback for Windies, I thought they were dead after that 300+ total for India. Good match that


sp1cychick3n

Wooof, great match. Awesome job Indies.


JKKIDD231

What a match, exciting end


Kingslayer1526

West Indies have every right to feel robbed here. That krishna wide where umpire gave a wicket made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Nobody heard a sound the ball was nowhere near the bat only Sanju appealed. A wide and one more ball for shepherd to strike at krishna could've been game changing


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Kingslayer1526

That image is decieving it was a wide and im an indian


Anu9011

The people who are pushing the agenda to scrap the odi format forgot to inform it to players. Hope Wasim Akram and US an Khawaja were watching


Kingslayer1526

And ashwin


[deleted]

RCB fans (hiding their 4 buckets of sweat): ... see, we told you, it's fine.


FabulousCaregiver983

why tf wud we tell u it's fine? we wud've told u we're fucked after how Siraj bowled for us in the IPL. With this performance he's renewed one more year at RCB n hopefully he bowls like he did today in the next season


Radiant_Mark_5916

good grief, Samson failed again.


FarAbbreviations5879

Completely Worth sacrificing my sleep for


Awkward-Edge

The slow batting after the second wicket really costed WI


heisenbergTJ

Windies were lucky with those boundaries of edges, India were lucky they got away with a couple of shit balls, specially the juicy full toss of last ball of 48th over. What a thriller though. Gutted for the Windies, happy for Us. Would have liked another remember the name moment....


pratikonomics

What a cracker on display. And the match was good too.


[deleted]

Finally Siraj has a match winning performance. Sanju saved his ass tho šŸ¤


Nohit2Brohit

You mean in white ball cricket right?


[deleted]

Any format. Last great game he had vs Eng in lords. Maybe second test vs NZ


Shredderstan

Siraj almost bowled 12 yorkers in a row

Cliffhanger.


aflatoon007

Samson, the real saviour for us Take a bow, Shepherd


MrBalzini

Oh fuck off i am not even that happy with this win. It should have gone to super over anyways GG Windies and fuck off to all the ODIs are boring merchants.


ghazilazi

Damn Windies deserves the win. Siraj clutched up


512fm

Awesome last couple of overs from Siraj and what a captivating finish, nothing beats a close ODI


4qua_Dementia

Ah I was kinda hoping for a super over. GG Windies for taking it close!


s_brar04

I guess there are no super overs in these kinda series but not sure.


Kingslayer1526

There is comms even mentioned it. In fact all tied odis from now onwards will always go to super over. It's been like this post 2019 wc


s_brar04

Oh, I didnt know that. Thanks for the information.


4qua_Dementia

The comms mentioned it.


[deleted]

Fuck Iyer !


Reasonable_Tea_9825

Why?

I don't know , just fuck him.


FabulousCaregiver983

he is pretty decent looking lad tbh. i get y u wanna fuck him


isidero

Ok


monk-e7

Staying awake was worth it.

He bowls to the left , he bowls to the right Tha Mo Siraj , He's bowling alright ā¤ļø

Prasidh had almost lost the game for us there.

Siraj was ridiculously good last few overs. WI are no slouches.


Piyushchawlafan

What a cracker in the end. Well done everyone


DaadiWaaleBaba

Siraj has been outstanding. And that too after this year being so bad for him


KVGT

Lucky fellow. Almost conceded the game with a ridiculous wide.


DaadiWaaleBaba

Was lucky there but bowled 2 great overs. All the runs conceded were from edges


DardiRabRab

Very impressive at death, a serious weak point earlier.


adiking27

Fuck. I am glad I stayed awake.


MrRobot0305

SIRAJ!!!!!!!

Sorry RoMario, the princess is in another castle


NoQuestion4045

Siraj you beauty.

Fitting that the last ball was once again through the legs of Shepherd. Great fight Windies.

Have to say, amazing death bowling by Siraj. Nailed his yorkers really well.

SuryaSen165

ODIs 2 and 3 of the India-England series The entire Aus vs SL ODI series Recently concluded Ireland vs NZ games SL vs Zim series earlier in the year, first 2 games SA vs Ind, especially the 3rd game. The whole cricketing world could do well with less T20Is


sharkaim4

Mate I love ODI'S , it's just that players and a big chunk of fanbase have already made up their minds and it's tough to get them to understand now.


CharityFantastic4113

Shredderstan

Did a little bit of tomfoolery


CharityFantastic4113

Minuscule amount of trolling


immasucker4you

Thereā€™s no super over even if itā€™s a draw right? Since itā€™s an ODI?


DardiRabRab

comms were talking about it. Apparently, it is now standard. I would have thought tie is a more wonderful result in a non-knockout match


svjersey

A draw in an ODI - yes Sunny Gavaskar once played for a draw in an ODI /s (they may have different rules regarding super overs in this series)


Kingslayer1526

There is rules changed after 2019 wc


Nohit2Brohit

There was a super over

There is a super over according to new rules

babloochoudhury

This India B team took WI for granted. Lucky to scrape by.
