WAR OF WICKETKEEPER BATSMAN

The ongoing INDIA-ENGLAND test series is started and is started the war between two better wkt-batsman of world at the moment.Before the beginning of the series there was a whole lot of chaos that the series will be the battle of INDIAN batting and ENGLISH bowling but after the first test it must be concluded as the fight between two wicketkeeper batsman .

          Certainly Dhoni is better as record speaks but the recent development of Prioris revealing a different stories.Modern greats are being forced to say that with slight improvement Prior  could be the best at no.7 in contemporary cricket.BeforeM.S. Dhoni has batted with more patience than he normally displays, but 638 runs in his last 23 innings is under-par. On the other hand Matt Prior (R) has turned out to be the most complete batsman at number seven in world cricket.
4 years the same guy was looking in all sorts of problem either it is  batting or in keeping.At that time ,in the press conference before Oval Test he was compelled to say that he is feeling like the 'ENEMY NUMBER ONE' but after 4 years back against the same team after scintillating inning at LORDS he is being called as the man of need.The way he approached after falling of 5 wickets in the innings clearly shows his temperament.In keeping so far he still looked in a bit problem against spinners but this can be sorted out soon as they have ANDY as their coach.
            
         At the same juncture ,Dhoni is looking in all sorts of problem.Though he is playing more patiently nowadays but 638 runs in last 23 innings is below par.Against comparative weaker attack of W.I. he doesn't looked comfortable.His conservative style and doubtful approach against miss chances of Trott ad Board has really proved expensive to the team.

INDIA FAILED TO BECOME THE LORD OF "LORDS"

Y
Yet again INDIA failed to become the LORD of LORDS as they were thrashed by Enlish men by a differnce
of 196 runs.Before the series begin there was a lot of chaos about the  world champion to write a different tale this  on the MECCA of cricket but ultimately this wasn't so.INDIA couldn't match at all to the English team ,neither with bats nor with balls .At last all former English men  began to point finger at the world champion team.
                           
                        The plight of INDIAN team began very early on the tour right from the practice match agin SOMMERSET.Our team couldn't match the stride team of sommerset.

But it was expected too by the  way comparatively weak Carribean side saved the match on fifth day and the way Indian bowlers failed to make any impression on Chanderpaul and Edwards ,the fear was arousing regarding what was going to happen against strong English  batting.It also happened as we were expecting, the moment Zaheer left the ground it became a merry ground for the opposition batsmen and at out of form KP retain its form complete his double century  and created trouble of cemetry for the Indians.This was followed by good and spoton bowling .The WALL tried his best but their was lack of support from other side.
In second innings ,Indian bowlers started well but couldn't capitalize on the start provided by Ishant and it resulted in a magnificent century by Matt Prior and a fruitful and decisive partnership between Prior and Broad which led India to a target of more then 400 .With Sachin sick ,Gambhir injured it was looking difficult but the way India's batting let them low wasn't expected and except RJames Andersonaina nobody aplied themselves and at last India lost it by a difference of 196 runs.

Now for the second test the condition is looking 
sensitive with Zaheer chances dimmed India
will have to look for new and potent bowling
combination. And on Tent Bridge Indian batsmen 
will be required to apply them in a more better 
way.
Hope for a better show.
