Ramiz Raja tips 4-0 series win for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistan skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 on Friday, November 23, 2012.
"If England lose in Mumbai, then India will have the clear edge. India will then have the excellent opportunity to go for a 4-0 result, which can be called a 'brownwash'," Ramiz told PTI-Bhasha.
India earned a 1-0 lead in the series after soundly beating the Three http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 in the first Test of the series in Ahmedabad, by nine wickets. The hosts remained in a commanding position throughout the match, posting a mammoth total of 521 for 2 in their declared first innings and then enforcing a follow on over the tourists, after having them bundled out for just 191 in their first innings.
Emerging http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gujarat-c787 batsman Cheteshwar Pujara starred with the bat for the home side, scoring an unbeaten double century and a 41 not out, to help his side script a comfortable nine-wicket win. Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha was the pick of the Indian bowlers with career best figures of 9 for 165.
England batsmen miserably failed to counter Indian spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, at Motera. Raja said that the wicket in Mumbai is expected to turn even more and that gives the hosts an edge over the Poms going into the second Test.
"India can win all the four matches and I feel the wicket will turn more in Mumbai. India definitely have the upper hand but England have shown the stomach for fight and the series would be an interesting one," reckoned the cricketer turned commentator.
Replying to a query about England’s bowling the former Pakistan batsman said, "England's bowling seems weak given the pitches here. Indians, on the other hand, are masters of spin."
