http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 v West Indies – 3rd ODI – West Indies Players to Watch out for
After another disappointing all-round performance, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 gear up to face India in the 3rd ODI hoping to keep the series alive.
The tourists have been appalling throughout the tour, where they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the three-match Test series and now find themselves saving another ODI rout, which has seen them outplayed by their opponents in every department of the game.
The first fifty-over game would have earned them a valuable lesson of how to cope with the track; however, the second ODI again caught the Caribbean side with a similar fate, which saw the batting line up collapse to some good bowling.
Only the heroics of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233 saved the side blushes after he somehow defied all odds to emerge as the highest scorer, coming in at no.10. This time the around, the bowlers failed to assert any sort of pressure and looked one-dimensional.
Another poor performance will see them relinquishing the series to the hosts, with Bettor identifying a few players capable of stepping up to the mark.

Arguably the most talented player in the team, the left-hander will be hoping for an improved performance on an individual basis. His form in the past month or so has been prolific where he has amassed tons in the longer version of the game.
With the team under pressure, he remains the safest bet for a batsman capable of lifting the camp with a notable score in the third ODI. Still to get to the three-figure mark in the limited over version, Bravo will be hoping to achieve such feat sooner,
while also improve on his average which is a meagre 31.92 considering his talent.

The first ODI dismissal would have certainly raised a few eye brows in the Windies camp after a humpty dumpty like stance saw him getting cleaned up. In the 2nd ODI, he tried to compensate but fell off a good delivery by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 which squared
him up.
His bowling, however, has come in handy for the tourists giving little away to the Men In Blue batters. But his main ability lies in amassing big scores with the bat, which has so far eluded him in this series. Despite coming back of a good tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747,
Samuels had hope that he could continue with the same momentum but so far has found difficult to spend time on the crease.
He will be looking to deliver the goods and steer his side to their first win of the series.

Jack of all, Master of None – that is the situation with the Windies skipper, who comes in down the order and barring from a few strokes does everything to throw away his wickets. His medium pace bowling is also highly inconsistent where he often does not
complete his full quota of overs.
Despite talking about the failures of his team, the captain might need to have a serious re-think on his role in the side and will need to perform on a regular basis, which then in turn will work as a motivation for his players.
Another loss will seal their fate on this tour and the only credit he will take back to the Caribbean will be his team managing to restrict Indian Maestro http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 from reaching to his elusive hundredth ton.
