full ball, hit to long-off, and they erupt in the stands
West Indies vs India, 19th Match, Group F at Bridgetown, May 09 2010 - Match Result
So it's all but over for India. If Sri Lanka win the next match, India will be out even before they go into their last game. If Australia win, India will stay alive, but will have to beat Sri Lanka on Tuesday and then hope that Australia beat West Indies, and also hope that their run-rate is ahead of WI's. And West Indies, by the way, will be playing the second game. So it's all stacked up against them. West Indies, though, have given themselves a great chance if they beat Australia on Tuesday. Thanks for joining us, do hop over to the other tab for the second match for today. Okay bye. And oh by the way, exciting news for cricket fans in the USA - the first ever Twenty20 internationals on American soil will take place in Florida on May 20, 22 and 23rd when Sri Lanka will play New Zealand in three Twenty20 matches.

Presentation
Chris Gayle, MoM and winning captain "Good win, just what we needed. I was under pressure, not just cricket-wise but also given so much support. So it was important to play well myself."
MS Dhoni "Batting hasn't been up to the expectation. Bowlers have done decently, give or take a few overs here and there. Batting is supposed to be our strength, and we should chase 170 in these conditions. We are hoping to give our best in the next game."
High fives all around for West Indies. Disappointment for India, embarrassment too, I might add, because they know they are going to be bounced out, yet they can't do anything about it. They have been, er, bounced out. West Indies acknowledge the crowd as they walk off
Crowd Goes Wild. They are enjoying it! There's a party going on maan
short, into the body, rubbing it in, just one leg-bye
yorker, hit to long-off for one. Game over. Thanks for coming, India
Jadeja on strike. Three sixes required off three balls. Sadist people will say that's half what he conceded two days ago. Poor young man
short ball, backs away and skies it to long-on
short ball, Nehra swings and misses
hot powerfully to extra cover, gets a single. Not quite the redemption
19 off the last over now. If ever Jadeja can sing Redemption Song, it's now. Bravo to bowl
short, into the body, Jadeja mis-hits the pull shot, gets a single
Roach will be a relived man! He offers him a low full toss after four consecutive wides, and this deserves to go for six, but Bhajji has mis-hit straight to long-on
what is happening here? Another wide yorker, over the wide line
harsh harsh call! Wide yorker outside off, and I thought it went inside the wide line, but Taufel stretches his arms
22 off 8 now. Will lack of discipline cost West Indies?
length ball, outside edge, over keeper, and four more
Still on the free hit
slower full toss, and it's wide again
wide outside off, sees Bhaji backing away but he is too wide outside off
driven to long-off for one, but he has over-stepped
yorker outside off, he has backed away too early
hit powerfully over his head, but Pollard is very straight at long-off and keeps them down to one
Direct hit, game over! Bravo has not bowled or batted really well, but he makes it up with the fielding. Bhajji has hit this to long-on, straight enough of Bravo, to his left, but he comes around, picks it up with one hand and hits the stumps on the yorker length
32 off 12 now. Not too far out of their reach. But West Indies still ahead. Roach to bowl his last over. Who will bowl No. 20?
Dhoni is still keeping India alive! Picks the slower ball early, it's a length ball, and he lofts it over square leg
yorker, right on the money, middle and leg, and hit back to the bowler
slower short one, Dhoni pulls, and is beaten by the pace
