http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 – 2nd Test – Indian bowlers to watch out
A master class of a performance by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 and Pragyan Ojha helped the Men In Blue to claim an easy victory in the first Test match against Windies.
The spinners stuck to their task with appreciable ease, bamboozling the Windies batting lineup, which failed to take advantage, after being in the ascendency.
The track at the Eden Gardens will again provide plenty of assistance to the spinners and one will expect the slow bowlers to have a pivotal saying on the outcome of the match.
For the Indians, they will be still be without their premier off-break bowler, Harbhajan Singh, who again failed to get a reckoning with Ashwin staking a strong claim for a permanent berth in the side after a string of impressive performances.
Bettor picks a few Men In Blue bowlers to be in the thick of the action, come the start of the 2nd five-day game.
Ravichandran Ashwin
A meteoric rise has seen the 25-year-old becoming a key member of the side. His performances in the limited over formats were appreciated by everyone and it was hardly a surprise when he was given the nod ahead of the under fire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 for the start
of the Test series against the Windies.
He returned the faith with some exceptional piece of bowling, which completely outfoxed his opponents. He took three in the first innings and grabbed a six-for in the second outing to hand himself an early marriage present.
Even Ashwin admitted his surprise of performing so extraordinarily on his Test debut; however, it will only act as good news for the Men In Blue, looking to regain Test supremacy. Still a long way to go for the spinner and making the right strides at the
right moments has kept him earning considerable praise from all corners.
For now, one wishes him a happy marriage and hopes that he carries on performing well throughout the course of the series.

The left-arm spinner made an instant impact in his comeback game where he picked seven scalps in the first Test which included a six-wicket haul in the first innings. It will give Ojha a lot of confidence for the remainder of the series as he looks to cement
a regular place in the team.
He admitted that he went back to basics after being left out and pin pointed the stint with English county side http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 as a critical phase in his career, which has allowed him to grow as a bowler. Varying his pace has become a lethal weapon for the 25-year-old,
who looks keen to impress the selectors to keep faith in him for the upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Another good showing in the second Test will only enhances his chances and the player will be looking to claim his 50th Test scalp. So far a average of 36.85 does not fully justify his bowling talent, however, a few important outings will go a
long way in improving that.

Another to make a comeback after a long lay-off through injury, Ishant will be looking to spearhead the attack in the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379. Still not up to hundred percent but the remaining matches will be vital for the pacer in order to assert himself
as a true leader of the Indian attack.
Has played in 39 Tests matches, and he will be looking to improve on his current average, which stands at 35.02.
