The 2000th Test - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 v India – 1st Test – Indian Batsmen to watch out for
England and India will be up against each other today in what is going to be one of the most awaited Test series in recent times.
This Test match is going to be an historic event in more ways than one, but the most important thing is the fact that it is going to be the 2000th Test match in the history of the game.
A number of cricket analysts around the world feel that this series is going to be a battle between the Indian batsmen and the English bowlers. Indians do not possess a very strong bowling lineup but they are surely one of the best in the
business when it comes to batting.
Let us have a quick look at some of the Indian batsmen who can play a big role for the side in the first Test at Lord’s.

The Little Master has scored 51 Test match tons in his career so far, but ironically, he is yet to score a Test hundred at Lord’s, the most historic cricket ground.
The champion batsman would be looking to achieve this milestone in the 2000th Test, as this is surely his last Test tour of England as a player.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 currently has 99 International hundreds to his name and the batting-maestro would love to get his 100th International century in this epic encounter.
The English will be looking to restrict the legendary batsman and it promises to be an interesting clash.

When it comes to scoring runs when India needs them the most, especially in the longest version of the sport, Laxman is always there to take his team out of.
He is a special batsman and one of the very few Indian players who perform exceptionally outside the sub-continent as well.
Although it is late summer in England now and the pitches will be dry but the English bowlers are adept at swinging the ball. The young Indian batsmen are bound to struggle against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 and Chris Tremlett and the
situation emphasizes the role Laxman might have to play for India.

Dravid, who is also known as the ‘wall of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 is not available for the initial part of the English tour and this puts additional responsibility on the shoulders of
Dravid, who has to make sure that the world champions do not face a crisis upfront.
