http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760- 2nd Test – Toss Report
The Windies have won the toss and have elected to bat first in the 2nd Test match, played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, October 29, 2011.
The tourists have made two changes from the first five-day game with opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758.
The biggest news though, comes from the Bangladeshi camp as Elias Sunny, the slow-left arm orthodox bowler who grabbed an impressive six-wicket haul on debut is out with a stomach complain. This has made room for another debutant, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Suhrawadi-Shuvo-c91688 to stake a claim in the side.
The pitch is expected to be a flat track, which will not aid the host’s spinners as the one in Dhaka. However, the Caribbean outfit will hope to fare better after a lacklustre batting performance which could have proved fatal if rain had not intervened.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, the tourist’s skipper, emphasized on improving their outings and expects his batsman to take more responsibility.
“We did some good things in this match and we saw some players getting some good performances but overall as a team we need to show some improvement as we look to win the next match and take the series,” Sammy said earlier.
As for the hosts, they have been stunned by the news of Sunny not being able to take part in the deciding match, after the spinner bamboozled the opponents with some clinical bowling display. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045 labelled the match as a do or die game, which means that he is expecting a positive outcome from the game.
