http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 – 2nd Test – Match Update - Windies crumble as follow-on likely
West Indies are on the verge of being told to follow-on, after some clinical piece of bowling from the Indian bowlers in the ongoing third day of the second Test match, played at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, November 16, 2011.
In an eventful first session, the spin of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PP-Ojha-c2198 has again halted the tourists to 120 for the loss of seven wickets. The hosts piled a mammoth 631 in their first innings and look set to take an unassailable lead in the three-match
series.
The tourist resumed from 34 for 2, however, failed to assert their footing on the proceedings as the Men In Blue struck early, courtesy of Ojha, who picked up his 50th Test wicket catching http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kirk-Anton-Edwards-c71510 lbw for 16. That marked the collapse of the
Windies innings, which then faltered badly to some excellent bowling.
Veteran, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 opened up his account with a slog sweep but uncharacteristically played across the line to a Ashwin straighter delivery, which certainly would have gone on to hit middle and leg.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 to ring a
few changes in the attack.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 came for his second spell and brought immediate success as he cleaned up Bravo. The left-hander was lazy in pushing forward to a length delivery that angled across and got an unlucky edge, which went crashing into the off-stump with the player
departing after making 30.
With tails up high, the seamer produced another jaffer, which uprooted the stumps of Samuels (25). The player totally played down the wrong line and was beaten with a ball, which pitched and straightened.
This then brought http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, the Caribbean skipper to the crease, who opened his account with a boundary which consequently, helped the team to cross the 100-run mark.
Ojha was brought back and Sammy hit the spinner for a humungous six but perished on the next ball, after being held behind the stumps by Dhoni for 18.
With seven down, the visitors look set to bat again as the follow-on beckons.
