India Win Series but Loose Points

So called inexperienced Indian team started well by winning the only T20 match and then first three matches of the 5 Match ODI series, but they lost the remaining two matches of the series and thus it cost one point to the ODI rankings as well.

India currently ranks second in the ICC one day international team rankings and this ranking can be further pushed down to number three if Sri Lanka manages to win the ODI series against England. Both Sri Lanka and England are ranked below India in the ODI team rankings of ICC.

The three test match series starts from 20th June at Kingston. India is the number one test team but this time like ODI team test team is also little inexperienced. West Indies on the other hand managed to draw the test series against Pakistan and they have won last two ODI against India as well.

It'd be interesting to see the competition between both the team. Will bring you all the live action of the first test match between both the team from Kingston, West Indies.

Other match to watch far:
Sri Lanka vs England 3rd NPPower Test, Rose Bowl, 1st day

48 Tons and still going - Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Don't know when and where he will stop. Its hard to predict number of centuries, runs he will score before stopping. Today he stood against the Sri Lankan attack and I hope his test century number 48 will help India save the match. India now needs only 61 runs to avoid follow on.

It was also nce to see debutant Suresh Raina hitting half century and he is still on the crease with Sachin.

Below are this pics from the second test match between India and Sri Lanka:






I Hope one day I'll have 100 posts about Sachin Tendulkar at this blog :)
