India vs Pakistan 2nd Test: the review of First Test

You all know that India has won the first Test Match of three test matches series against Pakistan. Pakistan captain Shoeb Malik won the toss and decided to bat first. In the first innings Pakistan did 231 runs by losing all their wickets up to earlier of the 2^nd day. Pakistani top order batsmen were failed to build a big score. Only Misbah-ul-Haq did well in both first and second innings. He scored 82 runs in first innings and 45 in the second innings respectively and another batsman Salman Butt who scored 67 runs in second innings. The bowling side of Pakistan is always good. Rawalpindi Express named Shoeib Akthar has well in both 1^st and 2^nd innings. He toke 2 and 4 wickets in the 1^st and 2^nd innings respectively. Besides Sohail Tanvir and Danish Kaneria also did well in the first innings.

But both the captains are hopping that they will paly will in the next test which will take place on 30 November 2007 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India

Shoaib Malik: "If you go back to the first day we didn't bat well. Our bowlers put in the effort but we were 100 runs short. Salman Butt was excellent in the second innings and also Yasir Hameed who was playing after a long time. Shoaib bowled really well and if we had a target of 300 the game could have been different. If you want to win a Test you have to score 400 plus and so we'll be looking to do that (in Kolkata)."

Anil Kumble is the Man of the Match for his captaincy, his seven wickets and a useful 24 in the first innings.

Kumble: "This ground has been very special, everything had happened on this ground. I think the boys responded really well and getting Pakitan out within 250 in both innings was creditable. The partnerships between Laxman and Dhoni, Dravid and Jaffer and Sachin and Ganguly were all very crucial. [On his own performance] It was excellent to get into the [bowling] groove right away. Three months is a long break at my age and I'm very happy with my performance."

Similarly India was failed to make a big score against Pakistan. In the earlier of the 2^nd day India started batting and took 276 runs till the first spell of the 3^rd third day losing all wickets and their leading run was 66. Only Dinesh Kartik failed to get run in both the first and second innings. Little master Shachin Tendulker is in good form. Very soon he will reach in the top among the high test nun scorers. He is now in the 2^nd position under Brayan Lara. VVS Lakshman has well done among the Indian batsmen. Actually he is the great batsman for test match. Washim Jafar has done well in both the innings. In the second innings Pakistan toke 267 runs and they lead to India by 203 runs. In the 4^th day India start batting and they reach easily to their target losing 4 wickets. Anil Kumble is really lucky as new captain because India has won the first test by the leading of Anil Kumble. He always plays good against Pakistan. The best record of Anil Kumble is also against Pakistan. In this first test he toke 4 and 3 wickets in the 1^st and 2^nd innings respectively. Shaurav Gangguly who toke 2 wickets and 48 runs, that’s a good performance.

The 2^nd and 3^rd test match between India v Pakistan will be held on 30^th November and 8^th December respectively. Second test will be held at Eden Gardens, Kolkata and third test will be held at Bangalore. It is expecting that the upcoming test match may be contestable.

All About 3rd ODI and 1st & 2nd ODI Review

Pakistan has come in India to play five ODIs and three Tests. The results of last two ODIs are very important for the 3^rd ODi because India and Pakistan both has won one and the result is now 1-1.

First ODI reviews: India won the first match that was took place in Gowhati, Assam. Indian batsmen dominated Pakistan bowlers, as a result India won by 5 wickets. In the first match Pakistan won the toss and Pakistan captain elected to bat first. We could not tell that Pakistan batsmen faced a serious batting downfall but did not do well against Indian bowlers even they did not all out but the score was not suitable as they expected. The total runs were 239 by 7 wickets because they were in serious pressure during the slog overs especially the 20 overs of Murali Kartik and Marbhajan Singh. In those over they achieve only 65 runs and the run rate came low. Although they had wickets in hands and took 70 more runs in the last 10 overs. So the total credit went on Indian spin bowlers.

On the other hand, Indian batsmen did well and took a more runs by dominating Pakistani bowlers and reached the target 44.1 overs. Pakistani first bowers did not do well like India except Omar Gul. Although Shoeb Akter took two valuable wickets of India, Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni but it did not fall any serious effect in Indian batting line-up. During the 3^rd over of the match and the second over of him, he sent back Sachin Tendulkar to the pavilion. But Sourav Ganguly, Goutam Gambhir, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh reached the team to the door of win. As a result MS Dhoni became the player of the match by his responsible batting.source Source CricInfo

Second ODI reviews: What are they doing? I think it was the speech of the all audiences both who were watching the match in the gallery and in front of the TV sets. In the second ODI match Sourav Ganguly did not more than 6 runs, sent back by Shoeb Akter. That is similar to the 1^st ODI because on that day Sachin Tendulkar sent back by Shoeb too. Sachin Tendulkar did 99 runs and sent back to the pavilion by Umar Gul. Most of the middle order batsmen failed to move the score of Indian team. Although the top order batsmen help to build good score but India lost their last four wickets within 40 runs that was the main barred to make the big score that 321. As a result they lost the mach.

Pakistan played a very important role that will inspire them to do well in the 3^rd ODI at Kanpur. They played a positive cricket in the 2^nd ODI especially Younis Khan. He did 117 runs by 189 balls. Running behind the long score of 321 they had to face in trouble after loosing early 3 wickets before 110 runs. Anyway, the victory came to depend on Younis Khan’s batting. Most positive thing did Yuvraj Singh by missing the catch of Younis Khan. The lower order batsmen, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi and blower Sohail Tanvir also played most important role to win the series. Source CricInfo

The result of the 5-match series level 1-1. Although Indian the declared the squad for the first two match. Will it be changed? V Sehwag was played in stead of Rahul Dravid. The selection board decided to rest Rahul Dravid and informed to media that he will play form the 3^rd ODI. But I did not know the result of what their last decision about Rahul Dravid. Will he play or not?

The series is most important for Indian team and Indian fans want that the team will beat Pakistan and will with the series. Last month India beat Pakistan and became Twenty20 champion. During that time, in India squad there were more new and inexperienced players. Although some top players have been added but the dependable batsman Dravid is not on the team.

Indian Squad for first two one-dayers: Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Robin Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Irfan Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Sreesanth, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik.
