India look for Test Series Clean sweep against West Indies

India have won the test series against West Indies by wining the second test match and Eden gardens Kolkata. However for both the teams it is a right opportunity to improve the performance levels and go to test series with a positive frame of mind.

Specially West Indies need a draw or win in the third and the final test match that begins 22-Nov at Mumbai. We can hope to see a completely different West Indies team in the ODI series with players like K. Pollard joining the team. Yes I must mention that India will not play Yuvraj Singh in the final test match. Thus a setback for Yuvraj who wants to establish himself as a test cricketer. Perhaps he can focus on domestive test cricket for some time. He is a wonderful player for shorter version and theres no doubt about it.

For India I am not sure but a clean sweep can be little helpful for them to improve the test rankings. Still getting back the Numero Uno position is very far and difficult journey.

Now a quick summary of cricket from other parts of the world:

• South Africa Vs Australia: Match is going in interesting phase on day 4 with Australia picking 4 quick wickets and mark a comeback in the test match. Still South Africa lead by 264 runs and have 3 wickets in hand which means if they manage to take the lead for more than 300 runs match will be evenly balanced.
• Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka need to win the match number 4 of the series to stay alive in the series. Let wait and watch all the live action from few hours from now.

Bangladesh Vs West Indies ODI series: Though Bangladesh managed to score 200+ runs are loosing 3 wickets for less than 5 runs but that score wasn't enough and they lost the match along with the series. Bangladesh is now 2-0 behind in the 3 match series and the last match on 18 i sthe one they can play for a consolidation win and to go positive into the test match series against West Indies.

India Vs England 2nd ODI: Though India won the first one day match by a big margin there is still a long way to go in the series and England can bounce back any time.
