http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 v West Indies – 1st Test – Indian Batsman to watch out
A resounding clean sweep of the English contingent has rejuvenated the Indian camp after serious questions were asked about their ability to cope up with non-top cricket in the absence of some senior players.
However, everyone stepped up and delivered a clear warning that the team has the ability to handle themselves even when they are missing their usual suspects.
A Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 on home soil will allow some of the players, who disappointed in their last tour, to find some form ahead of some crucial away assignments, which include traveling Down Under to play an inform Australian side.
The team will be welcoming back a number of their injured players, which will provide a stern test for their opposition and a good showing will certainly help them to remain hungry for success as far as the remainder of the year is concerned.
Bettor picks out a few Indian batsmen capable of frustrating the Windies on their home soil.
Rahul Dravid
When it comes to Test cricket, no one comes as reliable as the Indian “Wall”. One of the classiest batsman of the past era, his game has gone from strength to strength and he remains an integral part of the Men In Blue team, looking to find lost glory.
Despite the rest of the side bamboozled by the English bowling attack, Dravid stood tall and showed how the longer version should be played. An average of 53 even does not fully justify his stature, as he provides so much to the team as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mentor-c41238, legend
and experienced personnel ready to give his heart and soul for the Indian cause.
He will again be the orchestrator and his wicket will surely be the most difficult to capture for the Windies side.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556
The prolific run-maker will make a return to the team after a toe injury which has ruled him out since the 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Poms. However, no one can deny his cricketing brain and a fit Tendulkar can cause havoc to any opposition.
Still searching for his elusive hundredth ton and the safest bet will be to bank on him to get that hall mark. He has made a staggering 14965 runs since making his debut more than two decades back and there will be no stopping the legend, who still has the
hunger to make every inning count.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772
A Test veteran, Laxman like many others will be looking to start fresh from the disappointment he suffered a few months back. On his day he can match any batsmen in the world and his importance is recognized by team, who holds the 37-year-old in high regards.
His reputation can be gauge by fact that he is among a few to amass notable runs against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183. It includes two triple-hundred partnerships with colleague in
crime – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 with both coming against Kangaroo.
In his recent interview he emphasized the importance of this series, which will be a perfect platform for many players to get back on track in the longer version, and reclaim their no.1 Test status which they surrendered too easily in their last away series
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. His career stats echo his stature, with over 8000 runs at an impressive average of 46.26.
