India the Clear Choice – West Indies v India One Day International Cricket

West Indies lack depth, India clear cut winners!

West Indies Play India....

West Indies Play India....

West Indies v India- Cricket
Nathan Lynch looks at the one day series between West Indies and India and says that India are way ahead of the WIndies…

The West Indies are bouyant off their semi final T20 effort in England and India travel with something to prove after being bundled out of the T20 tournament in Round 2. Bottom line for us here is that India simply possess way too much depth in both batting and bowling ranks compared to The West Indies who really lack depth.
