Windies pacer, Fidel Edwards, shine’s at Kingston against India after registering an impressive 4-wicket haul for just 56-runs, which became the prime reason of the Men in Blue’s batting collapse.
Even after receiving a comprehensive beating in the One Day series against India, it seems that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Darren-Julius-Garvey-Sammy-c52468 and his men have stepped into the test-series with a positive approach towards the game.
The Caribbean kings, once feared for their break-neck pace attack, are lately going through turmoil, made worse by a deteriorating team performance in both the major formats of the game.
Another reason that adds to their recent state is the lack of experience in the side, their experienced campaigners are spending more time resolving issues with the board rather than dedicating themselves to cricket.
After registering an impactful comeback after injury, at Kingston, Edwards expressed his nervousness as he said, “I have not played a lot of cricket leading up to this Test, and bowling first up was a bit harsh, but I got into my groove after that. I was
a bit nervous too."
Despite enjoying a formidable batting depth, in the first innings, reigning world Champions India, were bowled out for just 246 runs and failed to capitalize on their batting strength.
The 25-year-old leg spinner, Devendra Bishoo, after being criticized throughout the Digicel ODI series for not living up to his potential, seems to be back in touch as he successfully managed 3 wickets for just 75 runs in the first innings at Kingston.
The 29-year-old Edwards, who has featured in 43 Tests and 50 One Day Internationals for Windies added more as he said, "It was a good feeling to get back onto the field and do so well, after not playing for so long, so it was a good start for me. It is good
to make my comeback in Jamaica, after not playing for so long."
Later on, the right-arm pacer also mentioned that bowling out team India at just 150 runs was possible at one point in the game, but they failed to do so.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 rescued their side after putting up a resilient effort with their 82 and 70 runs respectively.
Nevertheless, bowling team India around the mark of 250 and achieving a formidable lead in the contest were the two http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Main-c73911 goals of the hosts. Till now, the hosts have successfully claimed the first one and the second one is yet to be achieved.
Regarding the pitch, Edwards mentioned that Kingston’s turf offers a reasonable bounce but is still not fast enough to match the expectations of the 29-year-old pacer.
Moreover, he also appreciated the promising http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Briggs-c67453."
