Second test India vs Pakistan second test match
Injuries plague Pakistan team ahead of second test match: n injury-plagued Pakistan faces a daunting task of squaring the test series against India in the second test to begin at Eden Gardens on Friday.
Fast bowler Umar Gul is being sent back to Pakistan after his troublesome back flared up again, while skipper Shoaib Malik and pacemen Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami remain doubtful for the second test of the three-match series.
India leads 1-0 after winning the first test match in New Delhi by six wickets earlier this week. India is chasing its first home test series win against Pakistan for 28 years.
"Umar Gul bowled at the net yesterday, but is troubled by back spasms. The team management has decided to send him back," Malik said.
"We've spoken to the selectors and sought a replacement," he said.

Malik himself has not had any practice during the past few days, after spraining his ankle during a training session in New Delhi after the first test match.
"I went through a fitness test this morning. It did not go well, so I'll go through another test tomorrow morning and then decide if I can play or not," said Malik.
Pakistan pace bowlers Akhtar and Sami have chest infections. Both skipped practice for two days and must also pass fitness tests on Friday morning.
Akhtar was hospitalized for a day after complaining of chest pain on his arrival from New Delhi on Wednesday.
Malik said the Eden Gardens pitch appeared to be a good batting track that would assist spinners as the match proceeds.
India skipper Anil Kumble exuded confidence about his team clinching the series in Calcutta.
"We'll be looking to carry the momentum from New Delhi into the second test," Kumble said. "We're hoping to cash on this opportunity to win the series."

India vs PAkistan test match :
India won first test match by showing a all round show. Anil Kumble won man of the match award for his captaincy, grat bowling figures and crucial 28 runs score in first innings.
There were some good performance in bowling by Kumble and ganguly. Good batting by Laxman, Dhoni.
But for me aprat from India winning test match most important thing was Sachin crossing Allan borders test score and now he's Second highest run getter after West Indies Brian Lara. I have mentioend and prediceted Sachin to cross this mark inmy Last post -
top five test batsmen all time great.
Sachin Tendulkar is now only 770 runs behind Lara who is noe retired from international cricket. I expect sachin to lower his margin to under 500 by the end of the series.

ICC Cricket : top five test batsmen all time great
As second test match is going Between India and Pakistan @ Delhi. I don know that will Sachin Tendulkar be able to score a century or double century in this match but even if he manage to score 30 runs in this match he will achieve another milestone fo his career i.e. second highest run scorer in test matches. He will overcome the record of Allan Border. Only Batsmen ahead of him is Brian Lara of West Indies. For now both batsmen ahead of Sachin are not playing and have retired from International cricket. SO if Sachin play for a year more He will be the highest run scores in test matches

India Vs PAkistan first test
Though India lost last one day international match @ Jaipur Still won the Series by 3-2. India have won a one day series against Pakistan at home after 24 years. In this series Sachin Tendulkar looked in his full form. Made good scores but something is happening wih him as he reaches score of 90+ this years he didn't scored a century and was out between score of 90 and 99 fro 6 times, once he was out at 89. GOSH he missed 7 centuries. If achieved he would have reached 5o centuries so far.
Anyways centuries doest matter fro me what matters is ths form of Sachin hope he will contribute more to Indian Cricket and will retire with a honour none has been able to achive so far. One thing Sachin gonaa miss is never won worlds cup fir the game hes playing for last 18 years may be continue 3 years more.
But I wish for now is a double century from sachin and if not at least a century from him in test series against Pakistan.
Fisrst test is played at famous Firoz shah kotla ground at Delhi where Anil Kumble took all the 10 wickets of Pakistan team in an inning.
My best wishes for team India for winning the tst series. Let wait for live action on 23

India vs Pakistan fourth ODI Gwalior
Fourth One day crikcet match is going on between India and Paksitan at Gwalior.
Here the detil fo last bowl before drinks break:
Over: 32.1 - Ganguly to Shahid Afridi, OUT, Ganguly takes out Afridi. It struck him just outside off stump, though. Afridi tried to paddle-sweep a length delivery coming in from just outside off, missed, and was hit on the pad. He was playing a shot and was struck just outside off and is a tad unlucky to be given lbw.
Currently Pakistan score is 134/4 (32.1 overs)
Wicket to fell before this was of Younis Khan in the last bowl of 30th over here the details:
29.6 Yuvraj Singh to Younis Khan, OUT, Yuvraj gets the breakthrough. It was floated slow through the air, landed on the middle and leg stump line and Younis tried to work it across the line but instead, on this slow track, got a leading edge back to Yuvraj.
Younis Khan c & b Yuvraj Singh 68 (89b 5x4 1x6) SR: 76.40
Match was startes at 2:30 PM IST. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first.
As far as my predications are concerned Pak will manage a score of somewhere around 250 or 260 if play all 50 overs.
Bye bye for now....

India Test Cricket team for India vs Pakistan series
After Anil Kumble was Made caiptain of Indian cricket team for Test matches, theres a recall foo Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik into the 14 member test squad announcd for first two test matches against Pakistan. Perhaps performance of both Murali Kartik and Harhbajan in recent one day mathceks against Australia and Pakistan impressed the selectors. Most significant decision from the selection commitee was MS Dhoni replaced Sachin Tendulkar as vice-captain.
The turbanoter Harbhajan Singh will be playing his first Test since the tour of West Indies in 2006. However Gautanm Gambhir, Irfan Pathan and Virender Sehwag were unable to make it for the test team. Other to be dropped out of the team after considertaion are Ramesh Powar, Ranadeb Bose and Ishant Sharma.
Full Indian Cricket test team for first two test matchs against Pakistan :
Anil Kumble (C), Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, V V S Laxman, M S Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Wasim Jaffer, R P Singh, S Sreesanth, Murali Kartik, Dinesh Karthik.
Meanwhile India is already leading the one day cricket series against Pakistan by 2-1.
