India v West Indies - 3rd Test – Match Preview
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 will be up against each other in the third and the final Test of the three-match series, today, July 6, 2011, at Dominica. With India leading the series 1-0 at the moment, there seems to be only one winner, especially because the West
Indian batting has been less than satisfactory till date.
The number one ranked Test team of the world is going to take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 later this month and they are taking this series against West Indies as an opportunity to warm-up for the bigger task ahead.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Griffith-c919 margin of 2-0 against the Caribbean team, in order to boost their confidence before facing the tougher oppositions.
The visitors are likely to make a couple of changes to their playing eleven for the last match as the out of form http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871.
If India is to win the last match of the series, their bowlers will have to raise their game big time. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 did bowl brilliantly in the second Test but he could not find any kind of a support from the other end.

On the other side of the coin, the home team has dropped their experienced batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 has replaced him. Sarwan looked completely out of form against the Indian seamers throughout the
series.
The only positive for the Caribbean batting came in shape of Darren Bravo and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804, as both of them played fantastically in the second Test.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lendl-Mark-Platter-Simmons-c72458 has been a disappointment in this series and the Caribbean cricket fans would be hoping that he is able to make an impression in the last match. He is a free-flowing stroke-player and someone, who is an entertainer for the crowds.
However, the home team should be very http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 with their bowling efforts in the Test series. All of them have troubled the Indian batting, which is considered as one of the best in the business.

India are surely the favourites to lift the Test series, but West Indies have a chance to level the series by winning the final Test, but for that to happen, they will have to raise their performance with the bat.
