The Performances of Indian Batsmen for the Second Test

You all know that India has won the first test match. So the result is 1-0 of the three match series and India has come up. We always blame to the captain if the match win or loose. Do you think so?? I think no. If you have any comments then tell me.

I am disappointed to see the performances of Indian batting. I think all know about the Indian batting side. They are not only well but also have some very good quality batsmen who have a very good rank in the world cricket ranking.

Last October, India lost seriously a home test series and an ODI series along with Australia but they became Twenty20 champion and also beat Australia and Pakistan too. After that victory all the Indian fans though that India is a very good form and can beat any team now. But that was bogus.

Now the fist test has been over. Although India won the match but the performances of the batsmen astonished the entire cricket lover. The worst thing of Indian cricket is that if the top order batsmen fail then most of the batsmen fail to hold the match although they have a good cricketer.

Now, the 2^nd test match will be held on 30 November at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. I think the pitch is always helpful for the batsmen and both team have a very good quality batsmen. If India fail to show a good batting then it will be difficult to with the match and series too.

Some Important things would know for 2nd ODI Match

The first ODI match was finished and all the players of both the teams were getting ready to make them perfect for the second ODI at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh. The match will be a day-nigh match. 2nd ODI of India v Pakistan is now most important because Pakistan has lost the first ODI at Nehru Stadium, Guwahati. It is a challenge for both the team. Here India is hopping to do well in the home series. On the other hand, Pakistan will try to back the series. What are the positive things of both the teams?

After winning the first ODI at Nehru Stadium, Guwahati, India captain Dhoni praised highly about Gambhir’s excellent performance. Not only Gambhir but also the others batsmen did well except Indian master blaster batsman Sachin Tendulkar. It is very good sign for the Indian men. In he 3^rd over India had to loose the first wicket but the other batsmen Sourav, Gambhir, Yuvraj and Dhoni himself did well in the match and as a result they won the match by 5 wickets.

Ramiz Raza, the former player and captain of Pakistan cricket team told that Pakistan's batting looked decent but never threatened India except when Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal were batting. After a forceful start of 44, which was laced with boundaries, the remaining batting line-up could not live up to the dazzling opening display.

He also added that the Pakistan Captain Shoeb Malik should know that India middle order batsmen Yuvraj and MS Dhoni use to play spin well in the home series. But Malik used spin balls against them in stead of using pacer such as Omar Gul or Shob malik. On the other hand Pakistani bowlers did not able to show their aggressive bowling style in the flat wicket in Guwahati.

What’s for the next venue? According to the reporter of ESPN (Sport Center Live) the wicket of Mohali will be difficult for the bowlers to maintain theirs control on bowling. So what the result will come? Will the wickets favor for the batsman or not?

Indian batting line-up: It is well know to all that India has a strong batting line-up although Rahul Dravid is not on the team now.
