KINGSTON,
June 28 (Reuters) - An unbeaten 85 from Runako Morton guided West Indies to a convincing eight-wicket
victory over India to tie the four-match one-day series at 1-1 on Sunday.
India made a modest 188 after a patient 95
from skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni rescued them from 82 for eight, West Indies seamer Ravi Rampaul responding to his recall
with impressive figues of four for 37.
But West Indies won with over 15 overs to spare as Morton and captain Chris Gayle
made a thundering start by leading their side to 69 without loss in the first 10 overs.
Left-hander Gayle bludgeoned
64 in 46 balls, including eight fours and two sixes, before he fell to a superb diving catch on the boundary from Gautam Gambhir
off spinner Rohit Sharma to end the partnership at 101.
Although Sharma had Ramnaresh Sarwan stumped for 15, Shivnarine
Chanderpaul (18 not out) joined Morton to seal victory with more than 15 overs to spare.
Morton clinched the win by
blasting Harbhajan Singh for a huge six over mid-on.
The West Indies seamers did the damage with Dwayne Bravo and Jerome
Taylor taking three wickets each along with Rampaul's four.
The match was in marked contrast to the opening game
of the series on the same wicket when India won by 20 runs after 658 runs were scored.
India were always struggling
after Rampaul and Taylor produced a devastating opening spell to have the tourists reeling at seven for three.
Yuvraj
Singh, a century-maker in Friday's first ODI won by India, struck a sprightly 35 from 33 balls but his departure when
caught behind by Ramdin off Taylor prompted a second slump.
The outswing generated by Rampaul and Taylor was the key
factor and the first eight wickets in the India innings were all caught by either keeper or the slip cordon.
"I
don't think there was that much in it for the bowlers, they bowled really well, they were swinging the ball well and it
when it stopped swinging they were able to get reverse swing," Dhoni said.
"I think it was a good wicket.
Before we knew it we had three down. Once you are in that situation you are just playing catch-up," he said.
The
series continues in St. Lucia on Friday and Sunday.

A WORLD FAMOUS CRICKETER Honored in New York, USA WELL DONE
- SIEWDAT SHIVNARINE Article submitted by
Sam Sooppersaud
SHIV YOU ARE TRULY A GENTLEMAN, A TRUE SPORTSMAN AND A MODEL FOR UPCOMING AND ASPIRING
CRICKETERS TO EMULATE. CONGRATULATIONS, MY FRIEND! Let us look to 1982. I was the Secretary of the Brooklyn Cricket League.
Bhola Ramsundar was on the executive body at that time. Brooklyn Cricket League was noted for playing "hard cricket".
One of the teams in the BCL was Vikings Cricket Club captained by Julip Singh and with players like Burlin Saheed Dr. Jagnandan,
Solomon, Chik, Royston Arjune, to name a few. It was May and the new cricket season was about to start. As usual the BCL kicked
off its season with the President's Game. The previous year's champion playing a team comprising of players selected
from the rest of the clubs in the League. Vikings were the champions for the 1981 season. I was selected for the President's Eleven. In fact I was appointed captain.
Bhola (quite a character at that time) had forewarned that the West Indies test player Shivnarine will be flying in the country
the Friday before the big game and that he will be playing for Vikings. We were also warned that Shiv would run through our
batting lineup. There was great excitement and expectation prior to the game. We were all anxious to meet and see the newest
of the West Indies star in action. Came
the day of the President's game. I won the toss and decided to take first knock. I opened the batting - the other opener,
I think, was 'Thomo' Thomas of Melbourne C.C. Burlin Saheed took the new ball. At the other end the ball was thrown
to Shiv. I think Bhola wanted to accomplish his promised deed right away. Shiv was able to get lots of movement. I think he
got about three wickets. My last scoring shot was a hook off Burlin which raced to the boundary for four. That took my score
to 52 runs. I then retired. ( Shiv would be the first to tell you that Sam had a very good hook shot in his playing days).
I remember Shiv clapping as I walked off the field. He is that kind of a gentleman and sportsman. As I walked off
I the thought came to my mind that I have just scord a half century off a WI bowler. Yes, this is one of the ways in which
my path crossed that of Shiv's; I was the first batsman in the USA to have scored a fifty off his bowling.
At the beginning of this article I mentioned about my backache
and having to take Motrin and Tylenol and Feldene. What does this have to do with Shiv! Read on!. It was 1984. Cavaliers
Cricket Club and Vikings Cricket Club were playing the Semi-final of the BCL Thirty Over Knockout Competition. I cannot recall
the various details of the game. But I do recall that there was a slight drizzle and the grass was wet. Shiv was batting.
Baldat Ramdeen was the bowler. I was fielding at deep backward square leg. Shiv was a master at flicking/hooking the short-pitched
ball in this general area.True to plan Shiv skied the ball towards me, in fact it appeared that it was going overhead. However I
leaped and fortunately, or unfortunately, caught the ball. Upon landing, my feet slid forward and I hit the ground prone
on my back. I immediately felt a jolt in my spine. I was out of cricket for the next five years with a back injury. After
years of therapy and exercise I was able to go back on the cricket field as a player. I am still playing league cricket, but
not without aches in my back and pains all over my body.
I have watched Shiv played numerous times after this, have seen him captained the USA side, have played several games
against him. He has remained, after all these years, a fierce competitor, but always a consummate sportsman and gentleman.
My regret is that I would not be there in person to salute such an fine figure in the game, due to a previous commitment
I had made. But my thoughts will be there at the Chateau Royale. Of course my endorsement will be on all the accolades
that will be heaped upon Shiv because I know that are all richly deserved. SHIV YOU ARE TRULY A GENTLEMAN, A TRUE SPORTSMAN AND A MODEL FOR
UPCOMING AND ASPIRING CRICKETERS TO EMULATE. CONGRATULATIONS, MY FRIEND! *********************************************************************************

ENTRENCHING CRICKET AND RELATED VALUES IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA !!! - Our proud endeavor. A gift to all generations of this country. We are
making history and achieving an accomplishment worthy of hardworking immigrants who came to the USA from cricketing nations.
Please feel welcomed to join this worthwhile project.
Welcome to our website!
CRICKETUSA was formed specifically to promote Cricket in the United States of America.
Immigrants to the United States of America came from all corners of the world in pursuit of freedom, wealth, opportunities
and the American Dream. Among them are cricket fans, organizers and players.
The landscape and conditions of immigrants have changed substantially over the last two decades of the twentieth century.
Many now own properties, businesses and have children attending educational establishment.
More time can now be devoted to sports and recreation, than in the prior period. Legal Status of hundreds of thousands
of immigrants are no longer the greatest secret.
Cricket lovers are now US Citizens, and Permanent residents. Many of them possess adequate desire to rejuvenate their
participation in the most popular childhood sports - CRICKET.
It is true, that cricket is, and has always been played in the USA at various levels. Unfortunately, due to numerous factors,
the current level of development of Cricket in the US leaves much to be desired.
CRICKETUSA embarked on a strategic study, which led to the identification of specific factors which affect cricket develoment
in the USA. This study provides the theoretical basis for the ambitious endeavors of CRICKETUSA CORP.
In a free market economy, competition is very stiff. Sports entities compete for access to government's and companies'
advertising budgets using all the sophisticated techniques and strategies in and out of the books. It is for this reason,
an economist with practical and theoretical knowledge in international economic and business relations is considered most
suited to head CRICKETUSA CORP.
The main objectives of CRICKETUSA CORP include the establishment of multi-facet relations with businesses, non-government
organizations, cricket-loving clubs, leagues, individuals and agencies capable of assisting in the execution of a comprehensive
strategic Cricket Development Plan formulated by CRICKETUSA CORP.
CRICKETUSA Corp. extends to all its sponsors, associates, cricket clubs and cricket leagues, all cricketers, cricket fans
and friends who have so generously supported us over the years, kind regards and best wishes.
