http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 lose first wicket in follow-on – Cricket News Update
The Men in Blue bowlers have delivered a stunning blow at the West Indian top order, after the hosts’ attacking bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625, sealed top order batsman, Kraigg Brathwaite’s wicket in the opening overs during the Caribbean side’s follow-on session at
the proceeding second Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, on November 16, 2011.
With Day 1 kicking off on Monday, November 14, the Men in Blue Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 won the toss and opted to bat first – a decision which remained to be a fruitful choice for the hosts after batting a mammoth tally of 631 runs on Day 2, with the
team’s three star batters scoring century apiece, including VVS Laxman’s imposing contribution of 176 runs.
Having declared their play towards the closing moments of Day 2, the Windian roster responded with a rather disappointing batting performance, having wrapped up the day after scoring 34 runs, for a loss of 2 wickets.
As for the side’s current day’s show, the Caribbean tourists suffered another disappointing blow at their line-up, after losing two early wickets of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390.
The stumps were owned by India’s new ball bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, who forced the batsman to
depart on a similar manner, leaving http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 to take charge of the chase.
The newly formed pair managed to stall the side’s innings for some good over, but unfortunately for the Caribbean roster, the team’s misery continued after Umesh Yadav came out with his share of the damage, forcing both the players to exit off the crease
having marked their timber via bowled out dismissals.
The team was finally brought out of its despair, after the Men in Blue youth oriented bowling line-up steamrolled the opponent’s roster, dismissing the complete line-up before even reaching the closure of session one – leading to a follow on for the West
Indies tourists.
With Brathwaite already dismissed by Yadav, the Windian roster has piled up 41 runs, in 8.2 overs, with opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886, in partnership with Kirk Edwards retaining their footing on the pitch.
