West Indies vs England 1st ODI 2009: Bowlers and most wicket taker

The test series was not the celebration only for the batsmen but also for the some bowlers. Just one bowler was the must successful although he did not attend in every test. He just played 5 innings and etched the name as the most wicket taker of the test cricket series of West Indies vs England.

 

Although England lost the test cricket series 1-0 but they played and straggled to take the series on the side of them. But is always true that to win test series in away is very tough jobs.

 

The most wicket taker title was bagged by the English bowler GP Swann who picked on 19 wickets for the last three Tests and just played five innings. I think England thinks as lot about their fist test any will regent more the absent of GP Swann. The second highest wicket taker was from England side who is SCJ Broad and picket up 12 wickets. By taking 12 wickets West Indies bowler SJ Benn is also in the second position and the other bowers JE Taylor 11 wickets, JM Anderson 9 wickets, RO Hinds 7 wickets, MS Panesar 5 wickets and LS Baker 4 wickets.

Sachin Tendulkar, 42th test century, against New Zealand

After success in One-day series against the Black Caps, India has started their journey on Test series.  Sachin Tendulkar is playing really well. He has got back his form and batted well. He was kept out from the last ODI due to injury. India is on batting of the first test’s 1st innings. India won the toss and sent New Zealand to bat first. NZ had to close their 1st innings just bagged 279 runs. 

Sachin Tendulkar is considered the best batsman in cricket. He has played 156 tests. His total run is 12429 that is highest in Test cricket history. He is also the number one batsman who hits more hundreds in test cricket. 

He has bagged the 42th hundred in his test career. To earn 42th hundred he has to play 168 balls when he hits 15 fours and the strike rate was 59.52. India lead by 52 runs with 5 wickets remaining.

West Indies vs England 1st ODI: Batting side of both sides

Once-up-on a time, West Indies and England was the best cricket plying country in the world. No doubt that that was their golden age in cricket history.  The Test series was totally favored of the host. West Indies went on the as the series leaders by winning the first test. It is very easy to say that the batsmen of both team presented a stable batting except in the second innings of the first test. During the tours England had to face another lowest score in cricket history against West Indies.

 

After 15 years England had to face another lowest score in West Indies, in 1994 they scored jut 46 runs at Sabina Park. The English men scored just 46 runs in an innings and it is the lowest score of the duo. WI scored 47 at Kingston on 11 Mar 2004 and now England is in 3rd position by scoring 51 runs and it was England’s 2nd lowest totals in an innings against West Indies. The tour did not show only lowest score but presented some highest total score too. West Indies’ 749 and England 600 was 3rd and 10th highest totals in an innings.

 

The five matches test series was full of batting success. More that 17 hundreds came from the both batting sides, when England’s batsmen achieved 9 hundreds as well as 7 from WI side. RR Sarwan was the most successful batsmen who bagged 3 hundreds including one double. Most probably it is the tour in cricket history that presents more centuries. RR Sarwan also named in the most runs in a series by scoring 626 runs and average is 104.33. AJ Strauss from England also bagged 3 hundreds in the series.
