http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 v West Indies – 1st Test – West Indies batsmen to watch out for
The West Indies tourists are all set to settle their dues against the Indian hosts, as the two sides gear up for the upcoming opening Test outing, from the 3-match series, scheduled to be played at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780, on November 6, 2011.
For the hyped West Indian roster, the side recently wrapped up a triumphant 1-0 Test series against the Bangladeshi hosts, complements to the Caribbean team’s much talented roster of players, including the major lot of fresh faces.
With another imposing Test assignment ahead of the team, Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 will aim for his arsenal, but particularly the batting lot, to deliver an imposing performance against the Men in Blue, which too, have had a recent successful limited-overs outing
against the English visitors.
For the matter, Sammy’s hopes will be set on his team’s commanding batting lot, which delivered an exceptional run on their recent, first sub-continent assignment against the Asian Tigers.
For the task, much will be relied on the team’s able batting trio, built on Kirk Edwards, Darren Bravo, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

The last time Kirk Edwards played against India was when he made his Test premier for the national roster, but it was primarily the debutante’s maiden century on the second innings that exhibited the right armer’s real command over the batting department.
As for the player’s recent run against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, Edwards came out with another imposing show which earned him the highest scoring batsman’s title; coming through his impressive tally of 252 runs from 2 matches, averaging at 84.00.
Indian pacers, as well as the side’s youth lot of spinners, will surely have their eyes set on Edwards’s stumps, due to his ability to retain a typical Test run, coupled with his hard-hitting talent.
With just a minor capped profile to his name, Edwards has already earned a solid spot on the national roster – having served the side in 3 outings, with an aggregate of 368 runs, including his career best performance of 121 runs.

Darren Bravo comes in as another potential threat for the Men in Blue bowlers, having already served an impressive Test stint during this year’s preceding assignments.
Bravo has already had a taste of the Indian bowling approach, when he last played against them in July this year. The player remained to be a constant run maker for the Caribbean hosts, aggregating 205 runs from 3 matches, including his highest of 73 runs
during the second fixture at Bridgetown.
The 22-year-old retained another impressive performance during http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760’ just-concluded Test series against Bangladesh, where he scored the series’ second highest tally of 233 runs, at an average of 77.66.
Bravo’s Test premier for the West Indies side came in November last year against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, and since then, the Trinidad born cricketer has added 10 outings to his bag, scoring 751 runs from the lot including his highest performance of 195 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390
37-year-old, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, is probably the most experienced West Indian batsman on the current roster, and has earned a worthy spot amongst the most recognised batsmen on the cricket fraternity.
During West Indies’ last outing against the Men in Blue, Chanderpaul remained to be the most causative batsman for the team, and will be aiming to deliver the same when the two side’s meet on Sunday.
Amongst his lot, Chanderpaul earned the summit as the highest scoring player, batting 241 runs from 3 matches.
Being regarded as the one of best Caribbean batsmen, Chanderpaul has added 135 Test matches to his over a decade profile, scoring 9493 runs from the lot.
