The warm up game between India and West Indies turned out to be a low scoring, one sided affair. Windies batting first were all out for 85 and India reached the target comfortably with the loss of only Sehwag and more than 30 overs to spare. I watched the repeat telecast of this game and I was disappointed that there was really no "warm" up from this game for Indians. The pitch was not all that impressive either.
Take aways from the game:
* Sehwag got out to a horrendous shot. Given that the target was just 86, he could have made use of this oppurtunity to stay in the middle! In my mind, Sehwag may be a great player, but it will be important to have a player in form to play in the top.
* Kaarthik continues to impress me - he looked solid and so did Uthappa.
* Confidence levels should be high for Team India (hope this does not give scope for complacency)
India's first outing is exactly a week away, will be interesting to see what Dravid will decide on the playing XI.
