This series of experiments is crucial for both teams, it will determine the future of cricket in India and the present scenario of West Indies cricket. Let's look at both teams and one against the other as a loyal.
India:
After winning the World Cup in India seemed to be on a high note. While most players were rested elderly, but India won the one-day series in style. The last two One Day Internationals postponed definitely to the ugly side of India lost without putting up a fight. However, the tests will be different as some experienced players again, namely VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni. The batting line up then will be enhanced.
Bowling, on the other hand, seems to be pretty inexperienced, but some of the key players are included Ishanti Sharma, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Praveen Kumar and Harbhajan Singh. It will be interesting to see how this mix and match experienced players and young people meet. After a very long time, India will play test without Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Zaheer Khan.
West Indies:
After India beat continuously in the last two One Day Internationals in the Caribbean will have their high level of confidence. This is one reason they have more or less disappeared by the same team. Good news for the team was that Gayle was not included in the first test match, which can lead to a big mistake. But Shivnarine Chanderpaul participation can be a masterpiece, because it is the kind of batsmen who can hold the handles together.
Besides this, the team has more or less exactly the same. Ravi Rampaul bowling attack are comfortable and Fidel Edwards is the front-line bowlers. Devendra Bishoy is another revelation, because it is always a pleasant drive. Batting line up on the other hand, have the ability, but there is no fire in recent times. If they get their own when they beat the West Indies can be sure to send a serious threat to test the number one team in the world.
