Sehwag exits on a disappointing duck on the 3rd Test match – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 made a disappointing exit on a duck in the opening moments of the bout.
The much awaited fixture took to the Edgbaston arena as English skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 won the toss, and took on a wise decision to bowl first, hoping to make an early use of the green pitch, that might have favoured the English bowling attack featuring
star duo http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465.
As for the Indian batting session, the innings took off with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447, making his return following an elbow injury during the opening game at Lord’s, coupled with a new addition to the squad, and Abhinav Mukund’s replacement, the Indian veteran Virender
Sehwag.
The game was brought alive with Anderson taking off with the day, facing an early boundary coming off a well controlled shot by opening batsman Gambhir, at the gully area.
With some safe batting coming from the eventual deliveries, Gambhir finally wrapped up the over, with another boundary, bringing in a perfect opening to the match.
The following over was then taken over by Broad, who took his mark with three slips, a gully and short leg player as Sehwag took on the bat for the first time in the game.
The over kicked off with a massive blow to the Indian top order, as Sehwag, was forced to make an early, disappointing exit off a duck.
The player marked his exit following a short pitched delivery off Broad, forcing Sehwag to lean back, producing a doubtful snick off the player’s glove.
With the confident skipper, Strauss, immediately consulting with the match officials, decided to take on a review that finally assured the audience as well as the much blissful English team.
However, what came as a surprise to the audience is that prior to the fixture, Sehwag was being quoted as the ‘messiah’ of the Indian team, while some affluent cricketing personalities cited him as the last hope for team India. As for the now, the audience
will, therefore, now have to wait and see what the Edgbaston arena come out with as both the teams seek to face each other in a cut throat battle.
