England v India – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 expects India to regroup before the second day’s play – Cricket News Update
Former Australian spinner Shane Warne hopes India will regroup before the commencement of the second day’s play of the fourth Test against hosts England at Kennington Oval, London after rain stopped play on the first day.
“Horrible rain today at test match - Hope India re-group over night and come out with some fire,” wrote Warne on his twitter page.
Talking further on the match, the 41-year-old Warne expressed his frustration at the way http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 easy opportunities to score runs off them. “Seriously how bad have India started their bowling!!! Very pedestrian and
all looks way to easy for England... Long time in the field,” Warne opined.
Only 26 overs were bowled in the day and India were bogged down by England in that limited period of time as England after winning the toss chose to bat first and the openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 left the Indians flabbergasted after smacking
the bowlers for 75 runs without a loss.
The way things were going India were clearly looking in a spot of bother, nonetheless, the arrival of rain averted another rough day as the game was abandoned.
India have already lost the four-match Test series after falling in the first three games against the hosts because of which they have now also lost their number one ranking in the longest format of the game.
The Oval Test is a pride saving opportunity for India which will give them some fond memories to take back home with them otherwise this summer will be remembered as a nightmare by the world champions in the 50-over game.
India has come under a barrage of criticism because of their lacklustre performance in England where they have been completely outplayed by the English team.
Warne who was the member of the invincible Australian team that ruled the cricket world for nearly a decade knows how difficult it is to stay at the top and believes that India will have to raise their game to shun critics, who believe that India’s number
one stint in Test cricket and place as world champions was a fluke.
