304 is a lot of runs to chase, especially against an attack having the variety offered by Chaminda Vaas [ Images ], Muttiah Muralitharan [ Images ] and Lasith Malinga [ Images ].

The Rediff.com expert didn't think West Indies [ Images ] could score too many more than 260. So the innings opened with a pressure index (PI) of 138.

In many ways this match reminded you of the India-Sri Lanka match. Like Robin Uthappa [ Images ], Chris Gayle [ Images ] tried to be adventurous and fell. Shivnarine Chanderpaul [ Images ] was batting a bit like Sourav Ganguly [ Images ], and when Brian Lara [ Images ] fell, cheaply like Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ], the match was effectively over.

Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan [ Images ] lingered pointlessly for almost 25 overs, with the PI hovering around 150. What was the big idea?

This story had only one ending. Once Sarwan departed, there was a familiar procession back to the pavilion. WI had lost horribly by 113 runs. If it's any consolation, India [ Images ] only lost by 69 runs.
