South Africa series proved that we have lost our one day form, but but test form has been satisfying. In short - our batsmen are not making runs. If they do that - Indian bowlers have shown enough guts and can do the job once Indian batsmen start to put their hands up..

What better than a home series against West Indies can they as for. The pitches will be known, the grounds will be familier and the opposition will be good enough to test our true abilities. West Indies is a team which has come up vastly in last one year since the reappointment of Brain Lara and they are the only team which tested Australians at Malaysia and also here in India during Champions trophy..

Following are my articles on this last Indian series after the World Cup and you can also write to me, just in case you need some specific information on this India vs West Indies 4 ODIs.

Live telecast, highlights and match timings :

Neosports is still a mystry for most of Indian cricket lovers, but with the starting of this Ind vs WI one dayers - I hope Neosports will become a house-hold name. The reason : This Nimbus channel has the broadcasting rights for all the 4 ODI's against the caribbean team and also against the Sri Lankans starting 8th February.

Doordarshan will also be showing these matches live and so will All India Radio (AIR) with their running commentory. Another note that I'll like to inform you about is that Neosports Plus - another channel from Nimbus will be showing these One day Internationals in Hindi. Neosports also released their schedule a few days ago. The commentory in DD1 will be in hindi and English alternatively. Read this for more informations.

But the best option you have to watch these matches is at the Stadium. BCCI divides all the International matches played in india with equality with all Indian cricket grounds and this time - Nagpur in Maharashtra, Cuttak in Orisa, Chennai in Karnataka and Baroda in Gujarat will have a chance to watch Indian cricketers in reality and enjoy the game.

The first and the last ODI - on 21st and 30th January, are Day matches and thus will start at 0900hrs India time. As the 3rd and 4th ODIs are Day/Night affairs - they will start at 1400hrs India time.
