Batted and Bruised

Team India got a hammering against Team West Indies in the 2^nd ODI. They were bowled out for 188 runs on what appeared to be a good batting track. West Indies got to the total in style winning by 8 wickets and 16 overs to spare. Indian players weakness to the short pitched bowling was once again exposed by the West Indian bowlers. They got 3 wickets in the first 2 overs. Half of the Indian side was back in the pavilion after 15 overs. If not for a wonderful 9^th wicket partnership between R.P.Singh and M.S.Dhoni of 100 runs, the score could have been even worse as India was tottering at 82 for 8 in one stage. Indian bowlers did not get the same purchase as their West Indian counterparts and in the end, it was a walk in the park for West Indies. For once, everybody else other than Dhoni played horribly in Team India.
