Test 2: India Vs West Indies

India Vs West Indies
2nd Test – 14-18 November, 2013 - Mumbai

India
Team India will be on their toes – quick thinking and pro-active. They will look to make this a special game, but anxieties will be quite apparent. Luck will favour them, but they will need to make these opportunities count.

1st Innings
Initial batting will need to be more vigilant as nervousness could trouble them. Latter half of the batting does look stronger. Bowling will be inconsistent, but better aggression will bring results. Fielding will be another inconsistent area.

2nd Innings
Batting is looking focussed, determined and stronger. Bowling equations are more comfortable and result orientated. Fielding will still require better application.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni feels the nostalgia and may get side tracked in it all. He will regain his composure well, steady the team well and make some good decisions.

West Indies
As a team they will find it hard to gather themselves and show improved team work, but certain individuals will shine through. As the game progresses, their plans will be more effective.

1st Innings
Batting will be aggressive, but unplanned. Although this will work well in patches, but it will be tough for this strategy to give them an upper hand. Bowling will be effective, but they should be weary of over confidence. Fielding will be weaker than usual.

2nd Innings
Batting will not start off too well, but risks will pay off and a fight should be seen. Bowlers will need to develop better focus. Fielding will be a cause for concern.

The Captain – Darren Sammy
Despite feeling the strain, Sammy is looking to be positive and wiser. The key is for him to be more aggressive and quick thinking – this will help put the team in a stronger position.
