http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 bowlers to watch out for
Team West Indies is all set to mark a worthy reprisal against the Indian hosts after suffering a 5 wickets route at the preceding first Test outing – but with the second match around the corner, the Caribbean roster is set to lock horns with the Men in Blue
when the two teams meet on Monday, November 14, 2011 at the Eden Garden in Kolkata.
However, for West Indies to earn its revenge, the side will have to stand tough under each department of the game, but particularly in the bowling area, since the Indian roster currently holds a much hyped bowling arsenal, especially with the likes of youth
spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228.
For the matter, the Windies tourists will have to bank on their imposing bowling trio, built on Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233 – who will have a tough task ahead of them, especially against India’s
batting star studded line-up, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s much awaited 100th century.
Darren Sammy
West Indies Skipper, Darren Sammy, stunned his side, as well as the Indian batting line-up after marking a superb bowling performance during the series opening match in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
The Captain stood out as the highest wicket taker amongst the Caribbean bowlers, collecting 5 wickets including his haul of 3 during the first innings play, which contributed much to the Men in Blue side’s middle order crumble.
For many, Sammy’s performance comes as an improved show compared to his last stint against the Bangladeshi side, where the Captain managed to collect some minor number of wickets.
However, come Monday, the right armed medium pacer will once again be looked upon to retain his imposing bowling stint, which may restrict the Men in Blue to lose some early stumps.
With an impressive batting ability to his profile, Sammy has played 19 Tests for West Indies, collecting 55 wickets from the lot, including his career best haul of 7 for 66 runs.
Devendra Bishoo
26-year-old Devendra Bishoo has not taken much time to cement a solid place on the Caribbean squad, and in a short span of his capped career, the player has been billed as the main spinner on the roster.
During the Caribbean side’s preceding Test seasons for this year, the leg-break bowler has remained to be a much causative spinner for the side, bagging some consecutive wickets for the national roster.
Although Bishoo did not come out with his usual might during West Indies’ preceding match against the Men in Blue, but for the upcoming game, the left armer will surely stand out as a sure threat for the Indian batsmen, having already earned some imposing
stints for the Caribbean tourists.
The player premiered his Test career May 2011, during a home series against the Pakistani visitors and since his debut, Bishoo has played 8 games, collecting 35 wickets from the lot.
Ravi Rampaul
Caribbean fast bowler, Ravi Rampaul, may be regarded as another budding Test star for the side, since the pacer has already earned a regular stint as the team’s new ball bowler.
As one of the potent fast bowlers on the national squad, Rampaul has already earned an imposing goodwill under the limited overs format, especially with his ability to deliver some consistent blows on the opposing side’s batting line-up.
Rampaul managed to bag 2 wickets off the Indian line-up during the series opening match, but will be looking to deliver an improved performance on Monday when his side takes on the Indian hosts.
