saneindian Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Windies wish for a bouncy pitch finally granted http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Windies-wish-for-a-bouncy-pitch-finally-granted/802858/ West Indies will finally have their wish granted when they would get to play on the hard and bouncy pitch in the fifth and the final One-day International at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Thursday. Reports from Jamaica suggest that a tough batting surface awaits the two teams, something which the West Indian captain Darren Sammy has been yearning for throughout the series. It has, however come too late for the hosts who are facing a threat of a clean sweep by the Indians on their own home soil. India lead the five-match ODI series 3-0. Chief curator Charles Josephs said that the pitch will have more bounce and pace than what has been seen in the series so far. "I expect us to have a wicket that bounces more than the ones that we have seen in the eastern Caribbean," said Joseph, who has been curator at this venue since 1962. This venue is prone to heavy showers but Joseph is confident that he would get the track of his liking. "We have always dedicated ourselves to producing hard, true pitches that are good for both batsmen and bowlers alike, and despite losing a couple days due to rain, I expect us to meet our aim," he said. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This should be a good test of our young batsmen. Also, the 1st test is at the same venue, I hope the pitch is similar to what they will use for the ODIs.
gaurav92 Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Bouncy pitch for testing. I hope they play genuine quicks and not the Pollards and the Sammys leading the pace attack

vvvslaxman Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 4 wickets lost to Martin. Nothing to do with pitch being bouncy. It is a dead rubber. Indians were far too casual.
kabira Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 well it was not Jamaica LOL, i.e today's game...Just lack of motivation
gaurav92 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 4 wickets lost to Martin. Nothing to do with pitch being bouncy. It is a dead rubber. Indians were far too casual. Yes exactly. We go complacent once we have won the series which should not happen to the "World Champions". We must take every game seriously and dominate like Champs.
cowboysfan Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I predict an Indian win,bouncy pitches are good for us(excluding certain FTBs).
tatters Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Kohli is best on fast wickets. I am backing him to hit a ton.
Era of Gold Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I predict a West Indian victory. Half of India's side can't handle the short ball.
desi pride 1234 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Harby batting at 5? :hysterical::hysterical: he is sachin's fan:--D
