India's Tour of the Carribean
Well we started the tour with a victory, Dravid's excellent knock of 105 along with the 66 scored by Kaif(who has finally found his form) enabled India to win the first O.D.I. against West Indies.
The match at Kingston was reduced to a 45 overs a side match because of overnight rains. Dravid won the toss and elected to field. Chris Gayle struck a solid 123 runs and at one stage it looked like the Caribs would score 280. Agarkar and Harbhajan bowled superbly to restrict the Caribs to 250.
Dravid and Sehwag opened the batting and Sehwag got out because of a silly run-out. Irfan and Yuvraj failed and Dhoni hit a couple of balls to the fence. Kaif and Dravid built a solid partnership and along with Raina Kaif hit a four of the penultimate ball of the Indian innings to guide India to a five-wicket win.
