The test series between India and West Indies begins tomorrow. After a 4-1 defeat in the one-day series, team India's morale must be really down. India should have won the one-day series 4-1, thanks to the lack of experience of the Indian team, they didn't. In 4 matches out of the five, India were in a commanding position at one stage or the other. India went to the West Indies expecting fast tracks, but didn't know how to react when the pitches were dead slow. Here experience comes handy. If you analyse, you will see that all the experienced players - Yuvaraj, Kaif, Sehwag, Dravid (in one game), Harbhajan, and Agarkar did fairly well. But the new comers (Pathan - should not be called one now, Munaf, Sreesanth, Uthappa, Dhoni, Raina, Powar) all faired very badly. A loss sometimes will do good for a team, provided they learn. Now with some experience coming back to the team for the tests in the form of VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble, all eyes are focused on how India will face WI in the test series.
The schedule for the four test series is as follows:
June 2-6 -- Ist Test -- Antigua
June 10-14 -- 2nd Test -- St. Lucia
June 22-26 -- 3rd Test -- St. Kitts
June 30-July 4 -- 4th Test -- Jamaica
