Time for the presentation:
MS Dhoni: It was a par score but it was a good wicket to bat on. Last few overs we bowled well to restrict them. At the start of the match if we were given 320-odd we should have got it. They bat really deep and have 6 bowlers with a part-timer. They have spinners, quick bowlers and are a balanced side. Dwayne Bravo and I know each other well. But with technology as well we can spot the weaknesses and do analysis of the opponents easily these days
Dwayne Bravo: It was a great team effort, credit to entire team especially to Samuels coming back to ODI team. Credit to the stand between him and Ramdin and the bowlers as well. I hope Simmons is fit for the next match but I'm ready to open for the team. It's well and good till we keep winning. Scoring over 320 is always good, we fell short by 15-20 runs and they bowled very well but great team effort from us.
Marlon Samuels is Man of the Match: After some injuries and surgery I didn't play much, got some form in CPL but didn't play much. I lost my coach also so I dedicate this to him. Ramdin is in good nick for the last year and he's been batting well. The communication and running between us went well between us.
Well, that's all from us for this ODI in Kochi. West Indies have taken a 1-0 lead and do join us on Saturday for the second match in Delhi at 1430 local time. Till then, it's goodbye and good luck from Vishal and Alagappan, ciao!
10.15pm That's a comprehensive win for West Indies to begin this tour after losing both their warm-up matches to India A. Smith gave a strong start, and that stand between Samuels and Ramdin took them past 300. India were definitely capable of chasing that, but some tight bowling from Rampaul, and disciplined lines from medium-pacers put India in trouble at 114 for 5. Samuels also got two wickets and whatever Ambrose said in the team huddle during the innings break seems to have worked
Jerome Taylor: I haven't played ODI cricket for a while and to come back with such a performance against a strong team gives confidence. When you can come out and perform, with a good team effort it keeps the dressing room positive.
Shubhank: "One thing Indian team should notice for the upcoming matches is that west indies have a good death bowling attach as rampaul was getting blockholes right."
Tajal: "Ever since Ambrose emerged on the sidelines for WI, the bowlers have been showing better discipline in their lines and length (overall control). There is no one who can drive that point across quite as good as the great Curtly Ambrose. He's a great presence in this team"
