England v India – 2nd ODI – Indian bowlers to watch out for
India and England will take on each other today in the second One Day International (ODI) of the five-match series at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. The first match of the series was abandoned due to rain.
Bowling has been http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 as they have failed to trouble the English batsmen and the home team scored heavily during the Test series and did not face any kind of a difficulty in chasing down a very competitive total in
the only T20 of the series.
Let’s have a close look at some of the Indian bowlers to watch out for in the second ODI of the series.

There is not a shadow of doubt on the fact that Praveen Kumar has been the pick of the Indian bowlers in their tour of England. Before the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 earlier in the year, Praveen was considered as a limited overs specialist but the medium pacer
has proved that he is equally effective in all the formats of the game, especially in the English conditions, where he gets a lot movement in the air and off the pitch.
In the first match of the ODI series, Kumar was immensely troubling the English top order and had picked up a couple of scalps before rain intervened.
Before the ODI series started, Praveen admitted that he loves to bowl in the English conditions and has no problem in bowling lengthy spells there.
Praveen said, "I love to bowl long spells. The ball was suddenly doing something and I was enjoying my spell. The plan was to bowl in one area. The ball was moving when it was overcast but nothing much apart from that."

The young off-spinner is expected to bear the burden of India’s spin bowling in the years to come. He has a lot of different varieties under his belt and does have the ability to bamboozle any top batsmen of the world. He has been a permanent member of the
Indian limited overs squad since the last one year, although he failed to make it to the playing eleven on some of the occasions in the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453. However, the youngster failed to make an impression in the only T20 and was taken for runs
by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 in that fixture, but keeping in mind his ability, one cannot rule him out for the remainder of the series.
Munaf http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657
Off-late, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MM-Patel-c1987 has been criticized by a number of cricket experts for not putting in enough effort. He was a genuine fast bowler when he started his International career but injuries have forced Patel to cut down his pace and to concentrate on accuracy
to trouble the batsmen.
However, he looked like a different bowler in the T20 match in Manchester and was the pick of the Indian bowlers, as he bowled with speed. With his experience, Munaf can surely turn out to be a trump card for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 in the second ODI at the
Rose Bowl, where the ball is expected to move in the air.
In order to regain some pride, India must end this tour of England on a good note and the above mentioned bowlers will have to do well if India has any chances of winning the limited overs series.
