India Win Against The Windies


YAY!We won.India have started to win matches outside the subcontinent and once again proved that we are a force to reckon with.What a cool match it was,considering I only watched the highlights in the morning..who the hell is going to stay awake?
Rahul Dravid hit his 12th One-day International hundred to overshadow Chris Gayle's for West Indies and lead India to a five-wicket victory in the rain-affected first ODI at Sabina Park on Thursday. The Indian captain gave West Indies early evidence that he'll be the wall they will have to knock over in the coming weeks if they are to overcome the visitors, as he struck 10 fours and two sixes in 105 from 102 balls that helped to earn him the Man-of-the-Match award. Chasing 252 for victory from their allocation of 45 overs, India hit the jackpot with one ball to spare and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, when Mohammed Kaif drove Dwayne Bravo through extra cover for the last of his three boundaries in an undefeated 66 from 91 balls.
The second ODI will be contested at the same venue on Saturday, and the third will be played next Tuesday at Basseterre's Warner Park which will be hosting its first ODI.
