A marvellous 115 not out by Ramnaresh Sarwan, following his 98 not out in the second one-day international, gave West Indies a 2-1 lead in the series against India. It also took Sarwan's one-day average past 47, more than seven points over his Test average of 39.89. Why this difference? Cricinfo's Amit Varma discusses that with Anand Vasu, who did the ball-by-ball commentary for this game.
They also chat about why the much-hyped New India suddenly seems like Old India, and look at Ajit Agarkar, who has outlasted younger turks like Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra, and who took 2 for 25 and 2 for 32 in these two losses.
