India v/s west indies 2013 tri series in west indies

 second one day of the tri series held between india and west indies west indies skipper keorna pollard won the toss and india to bat first    With nine points from two matches, West Indies are in with a bright chance of making it to the finals.  Roach (14 no) kept his cool as he flicked Umesh Yadav (3/43) towards square leg to bring up the victory in a match where fortune swung like a pendulum.  The foundation of the victory was laid by opener Charles who faced 100 balls hitting eight boundaries and four huge sixes. He added 116 runs for the fourth wicket with Darren Bravo(55) and the victory didn't look out of sight.  Credit to Indian bowlers who made a fantastic comeback as they got some quick breakthroughs including to come right back into the match before Roach finally sealed it for the hosts.  At the start of the chase, West Indies were in dire straits as they lost both Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels within the first five overs as they were precariously placed at 26 for three.  Yadav removed opposition's best batsman Gayle (11) and followed it up with wicket of Devon Smith (0) while Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled Samuels (1) to reduce West Indies to 26 for three.  Gayle was dismissed as a delivery from Umesh rose awkwardly and it hit the upper portion of his bat. The resultant catch was taken by Suresh Raina stationed at short cover.  In his next over, Yadav removed left-hander Smith with an inswinger while Samuels dragged one from Kumar back onto his stumps.  Opener Charles however batted positively. The first six scoring strokes were boundaries as he punished both Yadav and Kumar. With minimum backlift and least footwork, Charles successfully hit through the line whenever it was slotted in his zone. He found an able ally in Bravo as the duo resurrected the innings.  The 50-run partnership came off 70 balls. Bravo, who was slow to begin with but chanced his arms against Ravindra Jadeja hitting the bowler over his head for a six

sunil gavaskar played slowest inning of the history of ODI games

sunil gavaskar slowest innings ever played in one day cricket  sunil gavaskar going with very slow spess.. sunil gavaskar played all 60 overs from the of the match and yet ceored only 36Some stats of his innings

He scored 36 off 174 balls with a single boundary and bat thorough 60 overs against England in the very first match of world cup 1975.


His Strike rate was 20.69% and as I said batted all 60 overs!

Is that the most slow paced innings ever in ODis?

One-day cricket is such an established part of the game now that it is sometimes easy to forget that it is a relatively new concept. The first domestic tournament was launched in England in 1963, and the first limited-overs international followed eight years later, almost by accident after a Test match was rained off.
The inaugural World Cup came in 1975 (two years after the ladies held their own tournament). The first match in that competition produced one of the most controversial one-day innings of all time.
