India Vs West Indies 2nd Test Begins Today - Watch Live Cricket Online

Watch Live Cricket Online

India plays against West Indies at Barbados today. This has been a hunting ground for West Indies as India lost 7 out of 8 times here. Things have changed a lot though after that. India has climbed up to be test champions from almost two years. They have a much stronger side now although their star cricketers like Sehwag, Gambhir, Sachin, Zaheer and Yuvraj are absent.

India has never won two consecutive test matches in West Indies. Another opportunity for the record skipper Dhoni to make a mark here. We can't write off West Indies because against Pakistan they bounced back to level the series. Also 85 for 6 against India in first innings was something they missed out to capitalise.

On one hand the West Indies team still misses the services of Chris Gayle, meanwhile team under Dhoni is raring to go on and win this test match for a 2-0 lead over the hosts.

England Vs Sri Lanka Live Cricket Online - 1st ODI

Live Cricket Online - SL Vs Eng

The inform England test cricket opener Alastair Cook will debut as an ODI captain today. It was difficult for him to find a place in ODI team with a strike rate of 71 and an average of about 33. But nothing better than playing as a skipper for England. This came as a part of having different skippers for all the three formats of the game. Recently concluded T20 match has Stuart Broad as captain. England lost that match to Sri Lanka.

England would be itching to take a revenge of World Cup 2011 quarter finals where they were eliminated by Sri Lanka. Probably Sri Lanka will again be captained by Kandamby as Dilshan looks unfit.

Tim Bresnan comes into the England side again thus strengthening the bowling department. Sanath Jayasuriya is surely a fear factor for England today at the Oval. Quick bowlers would enjoy the bounce of the Oval track.

Sri Lanka Vs England T20 Live Cricket Online

Live Cricket Online

Enjoy live cricket online streaming options as Sri Lanka now begins its limited overs campaign after losing the test series 0-1 to England. Two captains Stuart Broad and Thilan Kandamby are making their debuts as captains. This adds up to the excitement.


Stuart Broad is confident about his new role as T20 captain and is hopeful that the England team continues its good form. Kandamby with the support of Sangakkara, Jayasuriya and Jayawardene feels comfortable in the new responsibility.


The weather could be cloudy but would be dry throughout the day. Sri Lankans would be wary of the bounce  of Bristol pitch; but they now have Lasith Malinga in their bowling line up who can take full advantage of this situation. Although England starts as favourites, Sri Lanka is no less now in the presence of the veteran Jayasuriya and the unplayable Malinga.

Live Cricket Online - India Vs West Indies 1st test heading towards an interesting finish


At the end of Day 3, we can surely make out that the 1st test between India and West Indies is heading towards an interesting finish. Striving hard against the uneven bounce and turn of Sabina Park pitch; Rahul Dravid played another remarkable knock. He scored his 32nd century to take India to a total of 252. The overall lead over West Indies reached 326.

The match turned out to be interesting when West Indies counter attacked with positive batting since the start. Stumps at Day 3 showcased West Indies standing at 131 for 3 with Bravo and Chanderpaul batting. Things can swing either ways but at this juncture the match is in India's favour.

Day 4 will surely be the result day for this test match. West Indies needs a big partnership or two as they still need 195 runs with 7 wickets in hand.

Live Cricket Online - India Vs West Indies 1st Test Match

Live Cricket Online

Enjoy live cricket online streaming as the first test between India and West Indies begins. The test champions India take on a struggling team West Indies. The back to back wins in the ODI series to decrease the margin of series loss has slightly boosted the confidence of West Indies. They can enter the test series with a bit of psychological advantage over India.

Indian team will miss the services of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan and S Sreesanth. Good news for the second string team that played in the ODI series is that MS Dhoni, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid are back for the test matches. This trio adds a lot of experience and strength to the team.

Injury woes have further continued for India as Munaf Patel and Murali Vijay are doubtful for the 1st test. It looks like India currently has only two fit pace bowlers for the 1st test viz. Praveen Kumar and Ishant Sharma. Sabina Park has a bouncy track so another quick bowler could have been an added advantage for team India.

Although India certainly looks a much stronger side but the home team can fancy their chances to beat the test champions because India is not pitching in their strongest eleven and West Indies also has the home advantage.

Live Cricket Online - England Vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test

Live Cricket Online - Eng Vs SL

Enjoy live cricket online streaming of the 3rd and final test between England and Sri Lanka. This match will be played at Rose Bowl. Finally the beautiful stadium of Rose Bowl hosts a test match. One can easily expect a riveting contest between both the teams as both of them are hungry for success.

England leads series 1-0 and a loss year would level the series. Win for Sri Lanka would be a huge confidence booster. We shouldn't forget the biggest setback for Sri Lanka in this test match will be the absence of Dilshan. He captained the side in first two test matches and is also the leading run scorer for Sri Lanka. Due to an injured thumb he won't be playing in this test match. So the side would now be head by the reluctant Kumar Sangakkara.

James Anderson's comeback into international test cricket would be a huge benefit for the home team. His return also indicates that either Finn or Broad will be dropped from the playing eleven. Overall a tough tussle to be enjoyed at the Rose Bowl from today.

Yuvraj Singh has to say something

Live Cricket Online


Yuvraj Singh - The player who was criticized majorly for his inconsistency in cricket now proudly stands as the player of the tournament in the recently concluded ICC World Cup 2011. He also captained the Pune Warriors in IPL 2011 was wasn't successful in making it to the knock out stages.


He was happy about the success of Chennai Super Kings when they retained the title beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the finals of IPL. Yuvraj was pretty confident about CSK's chances this time as he added saying that CSK is led by a man called MS Dhoni who doesn't like to lose finals. He also loved the fact that CSK retained most of their players in this year's IPL auction and this helps in long term goal settings.


About the upcoming India Vs West Indies 2011 series, he was sad as he had to opt out. After going through some scans, doctors advised him to rest as the reports suggested a lung infection. He added saying that this was the first opportunity for the team members to play as World Champions. So he is obviously sad to miss the tour.


The way Yuvraj Singh performed in the World Cup, was certainly the biggest factor in India's triumph. So his services are surely going to be missed by the Indian squad for West Indies tour. Hopefully he joins back the team for the England tour later this July.
