Best Bowling at Bourda, Georgetown, Guyana --
(Innings): 7/44 by IWG Johnson (Australia), 3rd Test 1954-1955
against West Indies
(Match): 11/121 by Imran Khan (Pakistan), 1st Test 1987-1988
against West Indies
India and West Indies have played 33 times in the Caribbean Islands
and 5 times at this venue and all 5 matches have been draws
India have managed to win just 2 out of those 33 Tests, where as
West Indies have won on 14 occasions
Getting out of history...
Indians have had injury problems well before this series has
started - Sehwag couldn't tour due to a severe injury
After reaching here, they have further lost Harbhajan who injured
himself during the opening tour match - Sarandeep has hurried
flown in from India
Lots of talks about will India manage to achieve the rare overseas
Test win as the West Indies are not that big a force to reckon as
they were during the 70s and 80s
Ganguly has lead India to 2 overseas Test wins (Bangladesh &
Zimbabwe) and has voiced out that he is very confident to get the
third one here
The Indian team looks good on paper, certainly better than the
hosts, but can they deliver?
The batting still mainly revolves around the little genius Sachin
Tendulkar, similarly Windies' batting depends on Brian Lara
heavily
The series is even branded as the battle for supremacy between
Tendulkar and Lara - don't miss out!
Lara is back after a break due to a severe injury he sustained in
Sri Lanka where he scored heavily though they lost all 3 Tests
Tendulkar also has had a break and missed out 5 ODIs against
Zimbabwe - but, both of them have been in fine form in the longer
version of the game
There will also be good support for Tendulkar from Das, Laxman,
Ganguly, 'The Wall' Dravid and the newcomer Sanjay Bangar
Gayle, Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Hooper and Williams will support Lara
with Murray donning the keeper's gloves
It will be the 'famous' Dasgupta for India who will stand behind
the stumps. Will he just stand or collect properly?
The Indian bowling is spearheaded by Srinath, ably assisted by
Zaheer Khan - Nehra and Yohannan are waiting in the wings
Dillon and Cuffy are the main pacers for the Windies and the new
comer Sanford promises heavily
Spin is not the main department when you are about to watch Test
matches in West Indies, but this time, the pitches look a bit slow
than usual
Nagamootoo and Hooper will be the spinners for the hosts while the
visitors bank heavily on Kumble as Harbhajan is ruled out for this
Test
West Indies have decided to leave out Marlon Black and Ryan Hinds
from the squad of thirteen
Hooper spins the coin and Ganguly doesnt call rightly
Hooper decides to bat first

quick sand but some determined batting from the West Indian
batsmen took them to a decent score at the end of the day

Sanjay Bangar comes into the attack, although that is a bit of a
loose term under the circumstances

square leg, that one barely to thigh height
98.2 Bangar to Hooper, no run, defended to cover

hearted appeal

seam bowlers but they have to use them

continues to pummel Dasgupta's gloves with his rocket throws back
99.2 Khan to Hooper, no run, ball angled away from the offstump, Hooper
allegedly plays a stroke, half hearted appeal from the bowler,
negated
Zaheer now goes around the wicket
99.3 Khan to Hooper, (noball) no run, there's the first no ball of the
day, overstepping again, possibly something to do with the switch
around the wicket
99.3 Khan to Hooper, no run, much better, bang on target, defended back

through cover, lovely timing and that brings up 300 for WI

Match State: Innings Break
West Indies batted for twenty odd minutes this morning, only to
lose their last three wickets - adding just seven runs to their
overnight total.
The players are in the middle.
India are about to start their first innings. They need 302 runs to
avoid the following on.
It is quite overcast here in Georgetown, there will be some help
for the Windies fast bowlers.
Dasgupta and Shiv Sunder Das are the Indian opening batsmen with
the task to defy the Windies bowlers.
The opening overs will be very crucial.
Das is the batsman on strike, he averages 40.07 in Test cricket
Dasgupta averages 31.27.
Mervyn Dillon it is with the new ball, three slips and a gully -
and a forward short leg in place.
0.1 Dillon to Das, bye: FOUR, big banana inswinger, started outside the
off and beat a diving Junior Murray and down to fine leg fence for
four byes.
0.2 Dillon to Das, no run, one more inswinger, played to sqauer leg, no

good pace and carry through to the keeper.

0.5 Dillon to Das, two runs, full in length, just outside the off,

Now that is a big wicket! Sachin Tendulkar lbw Nagamootoo - it is a
happy Windies team walking off the ground - it is tea break here
at Bourda.
Nagamootoo has bowled very well here, all those 50 odd wickets he
took in the Busta Cup this season does mean something.
he had Tendulkar tied down for a long time. And given the fact that
Dravid has completely forgotten that there are runs to be scored
to avoid the follow on
It just was waiting to happen, Tendulkar trying to blast his way
for some runs, a very indiscreet shot with hardly a minute before
tea.
India are 144/4, still 156 runs away from avoiding the follow on.
West Indies are on top. India has a lot of work to do in the final
session, which will be of 150 mins.
We will be back with you in just about ten minutes. That will be
1930 Hrs GMT.

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
It has been a long day's cricket here at the Bourda oval.
West Indies did not declare at their overnight score of 494/7, they
batted on this morning, added seven more runs and were bowled out
for 501.
India went out to bat with the primary target of avoiding the
follow on, having to score 302 runs for that.
Cameron Cuffy struck the first blow - Deep Dasgupta was trapped lbw
for a duck.
The number three spot in the Indian team is the most favoured one
for three players, Ganguly, Dravid and Laxman.
Well... the skipper Ganguly walked out to bat at number three - a
very bold decision, given the fact that he has had problems before
with the short-pitched stuff.
Mervyn Dillon bowled a superb over, bowling at good pace too, he
hit Ganguly on the shoulder with a bouncer.
The next ball was well kept up - Ganguly beaten outside the off.
The three-card-trick worked, Ganguly playing a clumsy hook shot,
not looking at the ball, top edging a catch to Nagamootoo. Ganguly
made only five runs.
Tendulkar received an excellent first ball, almost edging it
through to the keeper.
But then the little master settled into a good rhythm and started
smashing the ball to all parts of the field.
Das was as always keen on solid defence to wear the fast bowlers
down.
The opening batsman dragged a ball from debutant Sanford onto his
stumps. Das made 33 and added 78 runs with Tendulkar for the third
wicket.
Dravid joined Tendulkar in the middle, and as always the got off to
a very slow start. There were long spells of dot balls, at one
point Dravid had score just 7 runs off 74 balls.
Tendulkar was looking good for the 29th Test hundred. And, India
really wanted that to happen.
Mahendra Nagamootoo was putting together a very good spell,
Tendulkar played a few maiden overs from the wrist spinner.
No wonder that this bowler from Guyana picked up 50 wickets (a
record) in the Windies domestic season - Busta International
Series.
with the runs drying up and the rotation of strike just not
happening, and with two balls to go for the Tea break, the
unthinkable happened.
Sachin Tendulkar has had some trouble against spinners; may it be
Ashley Giles, Raymond Price or now Nagamootoo.
Tendulkar was on 79 when he played a reckless shot, trying to play
across the line to a delivery that skidded through - almost like a
flipper and was caught plumb in front.
Laxman and Dravid have so far put together 93 runs for the
unfinished fifth wicket partnership.
Dravid has grown in confidence and has played some sweetly timed
strokes to the fence.
Laxman too played those trademark strokes through the on side and
those classy cover drives.
India would look forward to the two batsmen to do well tomorrow.
As for West Indies, this has been yet another good day of cricket.
For a team trying to revive their status in world cricket, nothing
short of a victory would be acceptable.
They are on the right track though - Hooper and the boys know what
exactly needs to be done.
Dillon and Cuffy bowled well through the day. So did Nagamootoo.
Newcomer Adam Sanford looks a good prospect, though he has looked a
bit nervous at times.
We will have an early start tomorrow: 0935 Hrs local time, 1905
IST, 1335 Hrs GMT.
Please do join us then. Thank you and Cheers!

Match State: Day 5 start Delayed due to wet outfield
Good Morning!
Welcome to the Bourda Oval in Georgetown, Guyana.
Today is the final day of the first Test match between West Indies
and India.
It is not raining at this moment. It kept pouring down last night.
Water here, water there, water water everywhere!
It does not look very good. The chances of having some amount of
cricket today looks very bleak.
It is such a shame that rain had to play the spoilsport.
There are pools of water in the outfield. Simply does not look like
a cricket ground.
We will be back as soon as we hear from the umpires about the
status of the game.
Welcome back to the Bourda Oval in Georgetown, Guyana.
We have the official confirmation now: Play has been abandoned for
the day.
There is not a chance that the outfield would be dry at any stage
today, which would facilitate the game to go on.
The first Test match between West Indies and India has ended in a
draw.
The second Test match will be played at the Queen's park Oval in
Trinidad & Tobago, starting on Friday 19th April.
CricInfo will be covering the Test match live. Please do join us
then at 0955 Hrs local time, 1925 Hrs IST, 1355 Hrs GMT.
Thanks for being with us. Till we meet again - Cheers!
