Oh dear.

All over.

Yadav bowls Bishoo as well first ball.

7 wickets in the test for Yadav.

5/7 of Yadav's victims were bowled.

Yadav looks extremely impressive.

It's a shame that in 2 years he will be trotting in off a shortened run and lobbing them down at 125kph. weighed down by all the gold jewellery his IPL contract buys him.

Can't agree more.

WI lost their last 6 wickets for 62.

Par for the course for the Windies. Promising start to the first test disintegrated into mediocrity - again!

Selection of Yadav shows that Fletcher is finally having a bit of his way in selection. He doesn't like dibbly dobblers like Praveen.

They should play Yadav in the tests and Aaron in the ODI series with the aim of taking them both to Aus in the test squad. Their workloads needs to be strictly managed.

Yep, Aaron gotta be on the plane to Aus and not jokers like Sree, Nehra, RP and Munaf.

Yadav MoM.

Should do his confidence a world of good.

I meant it should've been Yadav. Instead a batsman is chosen as MoM on a flat deck.

No wonder Indian bowling has always been dire.

It's pretty silly that the Indian squad members who didn't play in this test haven't gone away to play in the current round of Ranji Trophy matches.

Yep. Extremely silly of BCCI not to allow likes of Rahane, Aaron and Kohli to play for their respective state sides and instead allow them to cool their heals in the comforts of dressing room.

Delhi especially would've welcomed Kohli with both hands having just lost its game against Gujarat by an innings.

Yet again, pisspoor thinking by BCCI.

Thinking? I didn't think the BCCI did that.

I'm sure they found some way of making money by keeping the reserve players away from the Ranji Trophy. Probably spent their air fare money on a 12 course meal in the company of Bollywood stars and high class escorts.

Ater 12 Tests Bravo has scored 941 runs at 47.05... exactly Lara's stats after 12 Tests.

Incredible stat, that.

India look a lot better with those two spinners and Yadav.

Well done the WI for getting a score.

rahane is playing for bombay. don't know about the rest

Well, that was pretty much a drubbing in the end.

A relief to see WIndies showing a bit of spunk at the second attempt, though.

"and according to unconfirmed reports Kolkata's Jadhavpur University Complex, where Sourav Ganguly is playing a Ranji Trophy match, attracted a bigger crowd than Eden Gardens. "

Talk about Indo-centric.

You don't know how hot the Jadhavpur University Complex cheerleaders are.

And that's just the ones with the fine mustaches.

Windies' claim to fame: they've now made the biggest team score ever made by a team to lose by an innings.

BTW, this is India's 50th test series win.
