Ind WI ODI 2 Full Time: WI Keep The Faith

Sir Geoffrey Boycott launched into a scathing criticism of the Indian team, their batting and the fact that their bowling was not going to be enough to stop the West Indies from getting the modest target.
But with better insight, it is not hard to see how Boycott’s words were not only prophetic but also, logical. India had two comeback bowlers in R.P. Singh and Ashish Nehra, the latter returning from a hiatus of nearly five years. Zaheer Khan has been rested from the series to recuperate while Ishant Sharma has been largely out cold since the IPL 2 in South Africa.
Without the charged up attitude in the Indian dressing room, the job only became harder. West Indies captain Chris Gayle once again showed how easy he could make batting look with his breezy sixty-four from forty-nine balls. But it was his opening partner that eventually stole the show. Runako Morton finished on an unbeaten eighty-five as he took West Indies comfortably for a series leveling 1-1 victory.
What this victory also means that far from winning the series clean sweep, India will still not be able to overtake Australia in the ICC ODI rankings even if they win the series. For India, it was an all round disappointing performance, whose memory they would look to erase in a hurry.
