India v West Indies – 2nd Test – Match Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739. The match is currently being played at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, November
14, 2011.
It was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, the spinner playing, despite
getting married the previous day.
The Windies skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 was disappointed to lose as he too wanted to bat first. He put particular emphasizes on his bowling attack to perform well in order for them to mount a serious chance of winning the game.
However, that did not happen as Sehwag and partner in crime, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 battered the bowling attack to all parks of the ground. Both looked fluent in their stroke play and amassed easy runs, putting the pressure back on to the opponents.
In the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Fidel-Henderson-Edwards-c57010 but it brought no luck with Sehwag thrashing the Caribbean skipper to three consecutive fours, which brought up the Indian team’s 50 in the 11th over of the game.
Drinks break delivered immediate respite, and luck for the tourists as Sehwag perished soon after. In trying to clobber a length delivery from Sammy, the power-hitter only managed to pick the short mid-wicket fielder and departed after making a brisk 38
of 33 balls, which included a whopping 8 boundaries.
This brought ‘The Wall’, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 on the crease and the veteran got off the mark with a double, before dispatching Sammy to the third man region for a four.
Gambhir on the other end looked solid throughout, and chipped away with easy runs, which edged him closer to his fifty.
Spin was introduced in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 but to no avail. Devendra Bishoo also got into the act, however, it was easy sailing for the Men In Blue pair, who brought up the teams century in the 21st over.
