Analysis

A day of ebbs and flows

The target of 392 in 88 overs meant that India required an asking rate of 4.45 per over, and while at certain points it seemed they were on track, a draw was always the most likely result

Laxman's hard graft

Under pressure to keep his place in the side, VVS Laxman produced an uncharacteristic but vital knock under pressure

25-Jun-2006•On the Ball with S Rajesh

How West Indies lost the plot

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels did their team no favour with their inexplicable go-slow tactics on the third day

25-Jun-2006•Vaneisa Baksh in St Kitts

Stoic Ganga proves a point

If patience and stoicism were not deeply ingrained in Daren Ganga, he would have already lost hope in his career as a West Indian Test player

23-Jun-2006•Vaneisa Baksh in St Kitts

Sarwan gets his groove back

Ramnaresh Sarwan's 116 wasn't his best hundred, but it was a welcome return to form for a classy batsman

23-Jun-2006•On the Ball with S Rajesh

The perfect launching pad

Chris Gayle and Daren Ganga made good use of an excellent batting pitch, putting West Indies in a strong position after the first day

A model of restraint

Brian Lara's 120 was an innings unlike a regular Lara knock - it had few flourishes, and hardly any extravagant strokeplay

14-Jun-2006•On the Ball with S Rajesh

India's other offspinner

Virender Sehwag has ensured that India haven't felt the absence of a second specialist spinner so far in the St Lucia Test

12-Jun-2006•On the Ball with S Rajesh

Munaf's control, and India's go-slow

When India were batting the pitch looked quite placid, but Munaf Patel showed just how to bowl on it

11-Jun-2006•On the Ball with S Rajesh

Sehwag's early blast

The first day of the second Test was mostly about one outstanding individual performance: Virender Sehwag destroyed the West Indian attack with his magnificent 180 which put India on course for a huge first-innings total

The West Indian Energizer Bunny

Bradshaw bowled 40 overs in the second innings and 25 of them on the trot on the fourth day, beginning before lunch and ending after tea

05-Jun-2006•George Binoy

Sehwag's short ball malaise

Edwards had a short-leg and leg-slip in place and angled the ball into Sehwag's ribs - a form of bodyline - and had Sehwag hopping all over the place in extreme discomfort

04-Jun-2006•George Binoy

The inability to control Gayle

The Indian bowlers allowed Gayle to free his arms by bowling too wide or too full, and because of their inexperience they couldn't find an alternative strategy to control him

03-Jun-2006•George Binoy

Keeping it in the corridor

The West Indians didn't blow India away with devastating pace, nor did they deceive them with guile and swing. Instead, they kept plugging away in the channel outside off stump and India kept edging at regular intervals

Expect a run-fest

A wakeup call for India

While West Indies had a plan for each Indian player, the Indians adhered to a predictable pattern

When Sehwag couldn't do a Bravo

Four batsmen scored fifties in the fifth ODI at Trinidad, and the factor that won the game for West Indies was that they had three of them, whereas India had only Virender Sehwag
