http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 lavishes praise on Indian bowlers – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 defeated West Indies by an innings and 15 runs in the second game, of the three match Test series, played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. With the win, the Men in Blue get an unassailable lead of two games to nil.
Indian skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, lavished praise on his bowlers for the way they bowled on a flat Eden Gardens track. The hosts' bowling brigade dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 cheaply, for 153 runs in the first innings, and afterwards
it was just a game of patience for the Indians, who had posted a gigantic first innings total of 631 for the loss of seven wickets.
Commending his bowlers' mentality, Dhoni said, “It was a long fielding session. We got them out comfortably in the first innings but saw the track was getting flatter and there was nothing in it for the bowlers. The bowlers are
hunting in a pack, (it) doesn't matter who is taking the wickets. I think the first innings was perfect, after that it was a game of patience.”
West Indian batsmen did not lose heart and gave Indian bowlers a run for their money in the second innings, scaling 463 runs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 laid him complete support
by notching 84 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, West Indian skipper, was upbeat despite the loss. The all-rounder wants his batters to exhibit, on a regular basis, the performance that they showed in the second innings.
Advising his batsmen to follow in the footsteps of their Indian counterparts, Sammy said, “I'd like to commend the guys in the second innings and if we put two innings together we can pose a challenge to other teams. It was a good
fight in the second innings. India showed us how to bat on this track and it called for application.”
The West Indies have lost the series but they still have a chance to redeem their pride in the third and final Test match, starting from Tuesday, November 22, and will be played at the Wankhede Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
