Didn't see one for International cricket, other than the T20 leagues and Aussie cricket thread.
Currently ongoing:
Australia tour of South Africa
Pakistan tour of Srilanka
West Indies tour of India

India set 276 in 4th innings.
With Sachin and Dravid playing its easy target I'd think.

Yeah a 4th day Kotla wicket should not be too bad....now just 124 with 8 wickets in hand! but you never know with uneven bounce so let's see... my money is on India of course!

I haven't seen the score, but 276 is never an easy last innings target.

Yes 276 in the last innings is not easy but starting your innings on the Third day of a test is not too bad... and on Indian wickets the 2nd and the 3rd days are the most conducive for batting!
easy win at the end... unless the Indies do something about facing spin I do not see them making too much noise this series!

Yeah 4th day wickets are still good to bat on early in the day. When it goes beyond Tea on 4th day and 5th day it starts truly deteriorating.
Good win though and Sachin should have got the 100.

West Indies are quietly putting a reasonable team back together. Not world beaters, but solid players who know their role and work hard.
I'd be very concerned if I was an Indian fan. Spin stocks look good. Pace stocks very average. Batting stocks average once the big-3 go. And Sehwag won't be far behind.
Dhoni is an excellent player and a good captain. Can he get more out of the host of under-performing younger Indian batsmen over the next few years? Will he bat higher? Maybe give up the gloves like Sanga?
