Pakistan v West Indies Test Series - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 looking to write history
Pakistan is hoping to create history by beating the West Indians on their own soil. They will be pushing hard to put their names in the history books, being the first Pakistani side to win a Test series against in the Caribbean.
Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 are the two sides who have not won against West Indies on a tour.
Pakistan, however, is looking good and their confidence has been bolstered by the 3-2 victory in the One Day International series against the hosts.
Their Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, is in great nick after thrashing an unbeaten century in the two-day practice match against Guyana on May 8, 2011.
The Men in Green will miss Younis khan, who left for home due to the sudden death of his brother. Now their batting will revolve around Misbah, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 and the talented youngsters.
Pakistan has a very strong bowling line up, especially after Umar Gul’s arrival. They will depend a lot on their spin trio of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 and Hafeez.
Saeed Ajmal has shown lot of promise and has grasped the third position in the ODI bowlers ranking.
Pakistan has played 21 Test matches in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 but won just four out of them.
They leveled the Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Green-c60723 Caps will be eager to put another feather in their cap by clinching the upcoming series.
The West Indian side has yet to win a Test in the last couple of years and they have to come out of their shells with a brilliant performance to beat Pakistan.
Lendl Simmons has shown a lot of potential in the ODI series with four fifties. Darren Bravo has shown lot of promise as well and their batting will be strengthened by the arrival of the experienced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shivnarine-Chanderpaul-c90073, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Brendan Nash.
The Test series will commence from May 12, 2011.
Squads:
West Indies: Darren Sammy (captain), Brendan Nash (vice captain), Devendra Bishoo, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598
