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.
