http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 v West Indies – 3rd Test – West Indies batsmen to watch out for
Having already sealed the 3-match Test series triumph, the Men in Blue are geared up to retain their might against the West Indian tourists, as the two sides lock horns to face each other in the final outing, set to kick off at the Wankhede Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820,
on November 22, 2011.
Although the Caribbean visitors suffered a disappointing innings route at the preceding second Test match against the Indian hosts, but the side surely exhibited an imposing fight back, after slipping into their first session’s follow-on. However, complements
to the Skipper Darren Sammy’s competitive batting roster, the line-up delivered an impressive batting performance during the second innings play.
In a bid to cement some footing at the competition, Skipper Sammy will expect his able batters to produce another imposing show against the Men in Blue bowlers, but for the task, the Captain will rest his hopes on the team’s star batting trio, built on veteran
batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
West Indies middle order batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, stands out as the most experienced batsman on the current Caribbean roster, having already patented an over a decade long as well as a fruitful cricketing career with the national side.
The left armer has been one of the most causative batters for West Indies, during their preceding outings against the Indian hosts, and currently holds the spot as the Test series’ second highest scoring players, after India’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772.
As for the player’s recent contribution to his touring squad, Chanderpaul batted an impressive 47 runs stint, falling just 3 runs short of a half century.
With the final Test match just around the corner, Chanderpaul will have another vital task ahead of him, as his side steps out to earn some ground at the 3-match competition.
Since his Test debut with the West India national team in March 1994, Chanderpaul has played 137 matches under the format, scoring a mammoth tally of 9709 runs at an average of 49.28.
Darren Bravo
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 is regarded amongst the most potential youth players on the current West Indian squad, having already earned a permanent place on the national roster in a short span of time.
During http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760’ Eden Gardens’ game, Bravo top scored the line-up during the visitors’ second innings play, where the 22-year-old top order player scored 136 runs off 230 balls, with the aid of 16 boundaries and 4 out of the parks.
Hoping to offer another major stint for his team, Bravo will surely look to replicate his preceding game’s performance when his roster takes on the Men in Blue in the series decider.
The left-armer premiered his first ever Test outing with the West Indian side in November, 2010, and since then Bravo has played 12 games, batting 941 runs including his career best sum of 195 runs.
Marlon Samuels
When all hope was lost in Eden Gardens, it was Marlon Samuels’ hard and swift whacks that poured in some quick numbers on the Caribbean side’s scoreboard, complements to the much productive association of Bravo.
With an aggressive batting style to his name, Samuels comes in as another causative batsman on the West Indian squad, and has been quite consistent under the batting department.
Come Tuesday, Samuels will have another major responsibility ahead of him, having already batted a swift aggregate of 84 runs on the preceding match, which came with the aid of 13 boundaries and a single out of the park.
Having already served the side for a decade, Samuels has played 36 Test matches, aggregating a tally of 1763 runs.
