Cricket series 2011: England vs India (Test, T20 and ODI)

Dhoni’s brigade is all geared up to play against the English cricket team in July 2011 in England. Comparing both the teams’ recent performances, English cricket team is struggling with injuries however; hopes still spring by the return of their famous cricket players Stuart Board and Kevin Pietersen. Besides that, England would be relying on the top order batting line up where popular skipper Andrew Strauss will have to put in his best to ensure their success.

On the other hand, Indian cricket team’s stupendous batting side glittered with players like greatest and legendary cricket player Sachin Tendulker and big hitters like Laxman, Yuvraj and Dhoni enjoy a psychological edge over England’s batting line up. However, India’s conventional weakness against swing bowling is the key area which English cricket team will be targeting this summer.

Cricket series 2011: India vs West Indies

Cricket action is on in full gear in the Caribbean as plays host to the cricket world cup champions India for 5 ODIs, 3 Tests and 1 Twenty20.  Judging by the performances of both teams over the past few months, things appear to be pretty bleak for West Indies cricket team. Eliminated from a World Cup quarterfinal as a result of a devastating defeat by Pakistan, the West Indies cricket team has failed to show a consistent display of cricket in the recent past. India, on the other hand, appear to be seemingly flawless, thriving under the captaincy of famous Indian cricket player M S Dhoni, who will look forward today to the prospects of sealing the series with a third consecutive win over the West Indies.  India beat West Indies in the first ODI by a comfortable 4 wicket victory, with Harbhajan Singh leading the bowling attack with a tremendous display of form. The second ODI also turned in favour of India, as they clenched a 7 wicket victory in accordance with the Duckworth-Lewis method. Amit Mishra emerged as the man to watch out for, with a 4 wicket haul accompanied by a fairly safe economy rate of 3.10. As the men in blue step on the field in Port of Spain today, they will be all set to clench the series and take home yet another trophy. Already gloating under the banner of current world champions, Indian fans have hardly a reason to suspect a defeat in today’s match. Even taken a drastic turn of events that possibly allows West Indies to turn tables and claim victory today, it seems highly unlikely that they will be able to maintain their consistency for the next two matches and seal the series in their favour. Whether India suffers a setback to West Indies today or instead confirms the possession of yet another trophy is something that will be determined in the matter of a few hours; what is undeniable however is the fact that the Caribbean will provide cricket viewers over the world with some very enthralling displays this month.
