I really do feel sorry for Shivnarine Chanderpaul at the moment. He's in sparkling form and looks like he could hit any ball in to any gap and he's timing the ball magnificently. Yet he makes two marvellous knocks and both times the guys at the other end simply can't deliver. Too many stupid shots near the end cost the Windies any chance of winning the match, Ramdin's dismissal was plain silly.

Gayle's captaincy was a little poor as well, when India were seven-down and really struggling he was quite content to have the fielders deep even though there was very little intention from Karthik or Agarkar to up the run rate dramatically.

Is Sarwan injured at the moment 'cause the Windies sure could use him right now.

Edit: Just did a little research and found out Sarwan is playing first-class cricket back home at the moment. With Lara out of the side surely some more experience in the batting order is needed? Not just a long line of bits and pieces players batsmen.
