West Indies v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 2011 – Darren Sammy put India into bat – second Test at Barbados
The West Indian Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Calum-Scott-MacLeod-c49129 morning and asked India to bat first in anticipation to get some early wickets due to moisture in the pitch.
The match is being played at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, from June, 28th to July, 2nd, 2011.
Sammy looked pleased after winning the toss, assessed the conditions, and said, "There is a little moisture here early on, the forecast is for rain. In gloomy conditions, hopefully our swing bowlers can do well".
The Windies have made one change in the team, which played in the first Test match at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, from June, 20th to 23rd, 2011. Marlon Samuels was inducted in the side and the Vice Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BP-Nash-c1183, was given
rest due to his poor performance.
India’s Captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820, was disappointed after losing the toss and said, "Of course (we would have bowled). It would have been good to cash in with a bit of moisture available. I think it will remain throughout the game".
The Indian team also made one change by bringing in the right arm medium pacer, Abhimanyu Mithun in place of the right arm leg spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871.
Weather report
The weather at Barbados will remain cloudy most of the times with the temperature around 28 degrees centigrade.
Pitch report
The pitch will assist the pace bowlers especially in the early hours of the play and will have plenty of bounce. The batsmen will find it hard to negotiate rising deliveries.
Teams:

India beat West Indies by 63 runs in the first Test and the host will work hard to square the series. Their batting requires a lot of concentration whereas India can make it 2-0 if they repeat their performance from the first Test.
