india won the toss and made 309 for 5 (50.0 overs)
sachin carried his bat throughout the 50 overs and scored 141 not out!!
well done. no other performances worth mentioning besides pathan scoring 64 batting at number 3. dravid and raina got into the double figures, but could not capitalise

india lost by the D/L method
its annoying because i think the windies would probably not be able to keep it goign - but you never know. i think the windies knew the rain was coming so just went all out at the beginning and aimed to stay ahead of the D/L rate - in fact Gayle just confirmed that
yeah we could have won it , sad about the rain....poor sachin!!after all the effort! but credit to the west indian batsmen for thinking about the rain and pre planning their innings.. hey not just pathan but all the bowlers were bowling like they had 500 to defent not 309! overall a bad prerformance...
But hurrah to the rains for saving us against the aussies!!
