i hope india will do well even though after t20 lose india is really struggling with many problems .injury of sachin,zaheer and sewag is not a good sign for india and also the tricks of dhoni are not working

It will be a thing to see. After T20 debacle, its really fire test on India. It will be tough to beat WI in their own back yard.

Logic says India still have a good unit to perform well in West Indies. Everyone would be talking about how India will tackle the short pitch stuff. But I dont think Short pitch stuff should be a problem for India in West Indies. The pitches in West Indies are not as bouncy as those in England, South Africa or Australia. Also the pitches are on a slow side. And the west Indies Attack is not as fearsome as in the 70s and 80s. So given all these things I think if West Indies bowl short it would be advantage for India. With out Sachin and Raina Indian batting order still is a formidable one. Viru will be missed at the top[ but I think We dont have to really worry about it as our middle order is good enough to handle a quick fall of wicket. Zaheer will be missed but if the wickets are really slow I think Pragyan Ojha will have a big role to play. Ravindra Jadeja will be the one to watch if given a chance. Having said all that I still feel the trump card for India will once again be Yuvraj. And the fact that how well Indian bowlers tackle Gayle, Sarwan and Chanderpaul.

these are testing times for team India. after the disastrous performance at ICC T20, one need to see how the team will perform as a unit. without sachin and raina, the team can perform. anyway sachin and few others will have to retire in a couple of years. so this is an opportunity for those newcomers to prove their worth.
