The triumphant West Indies coach, who has had a successful tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is going to be a different ballgame and his pacer would need to make full use of reverse swing if they want to pulverise the Indian batting line-up.
“Our fast bowlers - (Darren) Sammy, (Fidel) Edwards and (Ravi) Rampaul - have been doing well over the past 6-12 months. That's our strength. We hope to quickly make inroads into the Indian line-up. Indian wickets favour spinners and the new ball will not
swing for long, so we will need different skills, and one of them is reverse swing."

The first Test is scheduled to begin from Sunday, November 06 at Feroz Shah Kotla, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reacts sharply to Mohammad Amir’s criticism regarding the lack of educating players about corruption in cricket.
A statement by the PCB in this regard said, “In March 2010 Amir signed the code of conduct for players when he was issued his central contract. The code of conduct clearly states that by signing the same the player commits to abiding by all http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 rules regarding
betting, match fixing, corruption, and any matter that could call into question the integrity of the game.”
According to the statement Amir acknowledged that he had fully understood PCB’s code of conduct.
Earlier, Amir had stated that he was not properly educated by the PCB about the code of conduct regarding corruption in cricket during the spot-fixing hearing in a London court.
