Following series of turmoil associated with the appointment of a new coach, the recent hectic tour of Team India has set off to a dejected start. Physio Gloster’s injury during nets and now, eight top most players of the playing squad falling ill.
In the first ODI against Ireland, prominent players like Zaheer Khan and MS Dhoni had been devoid of playing, due to injury and flu.
The African’s and Indian’s have tasted success, in their opening encounters against the Irish and have posted a good show. The new-commers of both teams have laid their mark and commitment. For now, it’s a big game lying underway at Stormont, today.
Though backup and some new players for the Indian team have been called up, it seems a critical situation for the ’so called’ inexperienced new comers to deliver in their best show against the might of the African’s. Moreover, the recent defeat in the Afro-Asian Cup, in which India was also involved, the African’s are as well eying for the vengeance.
Genuine batting and bowling side provides the African’s the upper edge. The far experienced players who were rested in their opening match, have also been induced.
Indian’s are left with their fingers crossed hoping a few of the ill players may be fit or deem the game is abandoned following bad weather conditions.
