IND Vs SA: 3rd TEST, 2015

So the last test was a complete washout. And we are down to the third test which will be played at Nagpur.

Its been a long time since India played a test match here at this venue. So not much Statistics available for this venue but we can work it out.
AB's 100th was washed away but he showed a great intent with his 85 in the first innings.
SA's batting hasn't been up to the mark and India's bowlers have made sure that they take full advantage of that.

Virat is holding up his nerves tight and has maintained pressure on the proteas. The Indian top order also showed some positives in the last game. They will look to maintain that in nagpur as well.

With the last going with the rain, SA will look to start things positively and India will look to maintain momentum with their side.
SA hasn't lost a test series outside their home since 2007. And team India are trying to make sure that this time they do change this streak holded up by SA.

SA will come back strongly in tomorrow's test as they would look to end the 3rd test with a 1-1. And both teams will aim for the series decider at kotla stadium, Delhi.

Toss: Win the toss and bat first. Not much Stats available for this venue. So hope to see a run feast tomorrow, not rain feast.

Venue: Nagpur, India

AUS Vs NZ: 2nd Test, 2015

Doesn't matter if South Africa are on top of the test team ranking. Australians are right on top when it comes to test. They have the combination of 3-Mitchells and an explosive opener who can tear apart any bowling.

And the last test which they played, Warner showed how good he is with the bat and their new captain is looking good as well.

Australia put on a nice win against the New-Zealand by winning the match with over 200 runs. They put upon an overall performance with the bat and with the ball and winning comfortably.

Now moving on to the 2nd test of the series, which will be played in WACA,Perth.

Perth is the fastest ground in the world. So the bowlers need to push themselves up and show them what a bowler can really do.
The perth pitch has a lot to offer for the bowlers. It has both pace and bounce, which makes it real hard for any batting line up hard to survive. It has been a nightmare for batsmen.

Already taking 1-0 lead in the match, Australians are favourite in this one as well.

The last time Australia played on this ground, it was against the english side and Australians winning the match comfortably.
Warner scored a century when he played here and so did smith.

Toss:Win the toss and elect to bat first.

Venue: WACA,Perth on 13th Nov, 2015

IND vs SA: 2nd Test, 2015

So, I missed on the first test analysis after wrapping up the ODI as i was busy with something real important.
Now lets talk cricket for some time now.

So, after winning the T20 and ODI series, SA were the favourites for the test series as well. But the spinners did the trick for the Indians in the first test match which was played in Mohali.

Though even India struggled against the bowling of the south Africans, but the Indian bowling was too hot for the South Africans to handle. They managed to score a few runs in the first innings but jadeja's magical spell proved right on the money for India.

Now we are down to the 2nd test, which will be played in Bengaluru.
So the last time India played a match here, it was back in 2012 and India winning the match comfortably.

India has the plus point in their favour as ashwin is back in the side, And the ball will help the spinners from day-3 in Bengaluru.
The M. Chinnaswamy stadium has always been a pitch which has favoured the batsmen.

Toss: Win the toss and elect to bat first. South Africa would want to bat first as they don't want to be in a situation where they have to chase down a target and ball is spinning around.

India will be comfortable doing both. They have the home advantage. They have the best spinners around can turn the game in their side.

Venue: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on 14th Nov
