They were at 264 for 2 on the first day and viewers were expecting the figure to rise till 500 runs landmark. All the hopes were destroyed due to wonderful bowling of Bangladesh bowlers which put them at back foot suddenly.

Middle order failure was totally responsible for their collapse. Masakadza scored superb 104 runs off 244 ball in which 8 fours and 1 huge six was included. Shakib Al Hasan and Hossain picked 3 wickets each for Bangladesh. In reply they were 36 for 2 at one stage of the match. Half century from Nafees gave Bangaldesh more confidence. 3rd day will be very important from their point of view. It will be important for their players to stand on the crease.

Zimbabwe in good position at Harare against Bangladesh

Bangladesh captain had won the toss and decided to put Zimbabwe into bat first. It is the only test to happen between these two sides. It was not a fair decision from Bangladesh skipper as bowlers worked very hard to break the opening partnership. Openers Sibanda and Mawoyo contributed 101 runs for the first wicket partnership. Sibanda scored 78 runs off 153 balls in which 7 fours and 1 six was included.

Masakadza is playing on 88 runs off 203 balls whereas Taylor is standing with him who scored 40 runs till the report was written. Rubel Hossain is the only bowler who managed to create problems for Zimbabwe. He took 2 crucial wickets and is still trying to work hard for Zimbabwe’s collapse. Interesting match is going on and viewers can expect result from it. Zimbabwe has scored 264 runs for the loss of 2 wickets.

Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh out of test series against England

Due to some injury, two top class Indian players Yuvraj and Harbhajan are sent out of the two upcoming test matches. Yuvraj is still suffering from his place to get fix in the Indian test squad. It is good new to hear that Virat Kohli and Ojha has been added to the squad for the remaining test matches.

Arrival of Sehwag and Zaheer will help Indian team to create problems for England. India has lost two consecutive test matches which has aroused questions on their top chair. Gambhir and Sehwag can good start whereas Laxman and Dravid can handle the middle order department. Master is all set to hit his 100th test ton at Edgbaston. Harbhajan was also not getting his rhythm properly and needs some rest and more practice.

Busy Schedule is responsible for our defeat, says Captain Dhoni

Indian team has lost two consecutive test matches recently played against England. World no.1 test team, India will lose the top chair as soon as they will lose the next match. They have also won ICC World Cup 2011 which has filled lot of confidence in the players. Some injury of top class players is also problem for India at present time.

All eyes are now on the upcoming matches which will decide India’s place in test rankings. Due to the bus schedule, players are very much tired and are not responding as expected. This statement was said by Indian skipper MS Dhoni when the reason behind India’s defeat at Tent Bridge was asked to him. Experts are saying that Dhoni is trying to hide the weaknesses of team India.

Virendra Sehwag is ready to play remaining test matches

Indian team suffered a lot in the absence of Virendra Sehwag. None of the opening partnership succeeded to fill his place. Even Gautam Gambhir was not looking in good touch. He is considered as one of the danger and explosive batsmen in the world cricket. His style of batting has been praised by everybody. We are expected to watch Gambhir and Sehwag opening together after a long time.

He was injured since the Indian Premier League and his arrival in the team will make the Indian team more confident. He is fit to play in the next two test matches against England. Sehwag has not left any bowler from his aggressive batting. It will be hard for the English bowlers to make strategies for this batsman. It becomes hard to stop him once he starts blowing.

England leads series 2-0 against India

Indian team is undergoing through a really tough time in England during present days. When England was at 124 for 8, no body can expect that they can win the match in such a fascinating manner. This was their second consecutive victory against India. Fantastic performance by the team helped them to win match against World no.1 team. Sachin Tendulkar entertained a lot on the last day by hitting his classical and top class batting.

English players came back in 2nd innings and started playing as if one day match is going on at Tent Bridge. Ian Bell, Bresnan and Prior played extra ordinary innings in this test match which really appreciated their courage and determination. Indian team failed to register their reputation in England which has put them down in the eyes of cricket fans. India lost both the match by a big margin which declares their unsuccessful story of England’s tour.

We are still hoping for India’s victory in the upcoming matches. Zaheer Khan and Virendra Sehwag can be seen on the ground for the coming test match.

Yuvraj Singh performed again in critical situations

Indian middle order top class batsman, Yuvraj very well know that it is very hard for him to make his place into last 11 in Indian test team. Due to injury of Gautam Gambhir, he got a golden chance to play against England in the 2nd test. In Indian present squad, it has become a problem for Yuvraj to make his presence. England bowlers were attacking Indian batsmen and 4 players left the ground including master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

At that time, he arrived and took the responsibilities on his shoulders. He joined man in form, Dravid who scored second consecutive descent century. Yuvraj Singh’s performance will force captain MS Dhoni to think about him in the upcoming test matches. He scored 62 runs off 115 balls in which 10 crucial fours were involved.

Rahul Dravid scored second continuous ton at England tour

On the second day of tent Bridge test, English bowlers struggled a lot to break the partnership between Dravid and Laxman. Bresnan was the man who achieved success by sending Laxman at 56. Indian team was struggling at one stage of the game when 4 players departed at 139 runs. Rahul Dravid started playing very calmly as he knew that it will be important from India’s point of view.

At Lords also he was the only match to watch to took the over all responsibility of the match. His patient, classical and top class batting created problems for England bowlers throughout the day. It was not an easy task to send him into the pavilion. He scored superb century which helped Indian team to reach 288 runs. He scored 113 runs
