Who cares? the majority of the people (including me!) want him back in the team and that too, sooner than possible!

Of course! Who can forget that statement made by Dravid on Dada???
 
All I know is that Ganguly isn't a good 20/20 Batsman for Northants :p

We are being made to wait, at least you gave us a warning in advance :p

Still can't wait for this one as it will be absolutely fantastic.

(Kensington Oval,Bridgetown, Barbados)


Welcome to StarSports Morning8 package for the second test match between Indian and WestIndies in Kensington Oval,Bridgetown, Barbados!!! The atmosphere is great for past few days though there were little showers inbetween!!!

The news from the stadium is that this match has recorded the highest ticket sales for the test matches in WestIndies...may be due to the fact that Ganguly is returning!!! Well Indian players as usual,are continuing their hard work in practice session...

Their hard work has been rewarded already in the first test!!! Also, Ganguly has been found spending the most time in nets with Sachin and coach!!! It seems that Prince of Kolkatta is working hard for his come back!!! Windies players are also working hard in the other corner silently!!!This is going to be a huge battle than the first one!!!

Also we had a short chat with Rahul Dravid, few moments ago....


CAPTAIN's VIEW

Well, this is going to be a tough battle for us as usual... We are also going with few suprise changes in the side!!! The team11 cannot be revealed at the moment...It will be known at the time of toss!!! Our boys are working hard and we will try our level best to win this one!!! Also, our coach was helpful in sorting out the mistakes that we committed in first test..Hope we wont repeat the mistakes again!!! We will produce our best as much as we can....

---- Rahul Dravid, From WestIndies

Coming Up....


India Vs WestIndies ( Second Test,LIVE )
 
Even though India won the first test so easily, it would be foolish of them to take the West Indies lightly for the remaining three games. So its good to see Dravid and Chappell work on India's mistakes from that first test, so they can do even better in this second test.

Looking forward to the special guest at Streetalk.

LIVE
INDIA Vs WESTINDIES
(Second Test from Barbados)



PITCH REPORT AND WEATHER CONDITIONS :


Well, its a bright day with good atmosphere for cricket!!! The pitch is likely to assist fast bolwers a bit!!! There is lot of movement expected with the ball earlier in the session!!! Bowlers are expected to enjoy more than batsman...Batsman have to be watchful against the movement!!!

So the team winning toss, could ask the opposition to bat in to utilise the early conditions!!!

TOSS :

Rahul Dravid tossed the coin and Windies called heads.... and Windies won the toss!!!!

Well, its good toss to win and we want to bowl first trying to utilise the early conditions provided for the bowlers!!! Always its going to be a tough challenge.... We have few changes in our side..Samuels,Bradshaw and Collymore are in for Hinds,Lawson and Smith.

--- Brian Lara,Windies Skipper


Its litle bit hard to bat first on this kind of track...We have to be watchful against the bowlers!!! we have made few changes... Ganguly and Harbhajan in for Jaffer and Sreesanth !!! We decided to open with Dhoni and Sehwag!!! Well this is one of the experiments and have to see how its working!!!

---Rahul Dravid,IndianSkipper


EVERYTHING SET READY FOR THE START!!!

Well, there is a huge crowd waiting to see this match!!! As we told, this is the largest crowd in Windies for test matches!!! Indian supporters are very anxious to see Ganguly with the bat....


HUGE CROWD!!!

Also, both the teams have undergone changes in their side!!! Some suprise changes with the decision of making Dhoni to open for India and taking Hinds and lawson out of the squad!!!

Here are the lineups for both the teams,

INDIA

WESTINDIES

The players emerged out of the dressing room following the umpires, and Windies players have some determination in their faces!!! There is also a constant support from the spectators!!!

So now, it seems eveything is ready except for the word from umpires to say "Start"!!! Well Billy Bowden and Steve Bucknor are the umpires for this match!!! Bucknor looking at his watch to say "Go"!!!!


INDIA : 0/0 ( 0 overs )
First Innings.
 
It will be interesting to see how Dhoni does as an opener in Test matches. Personally I do not like the idea, as to have two blasters opening the batting could easily backfire if both get dismissed cheaply. This would then put a lot of pressure on the middle order. I would have preferred Dravid opening the batting with Sehwag, or even Yuvraj.
