Ladbroke Cricket Bet – The first thing I would like to say is what a 1st Test match that was between India and England in Chennai, the game itself had loads of positives for the English side especially when you consider the poor preparation both teams had in the run up to the game with the terrorist attacks on Mumbai having put this 2 Test match series on the line but I would like to say a very big well done to all the security that made sure this game went ahead without any distractions whatsoever.

The game itself started with Andrew Strauss grabbing a century in the 1st innings to give England a score over 300 and gave their bowlers something to bowl at. When India came to bat England’s new boy Mr Swann became the 1st man to grab 2 wickets in his very first over in Test Cricket to help his team to a healthy 1st innings lead.

Then Mr Strauss did it again by scoring a century in the 2nd innings which was helped by Paul Collingwood who himself got into 3 figures with them both scoring 108 runs and helped England declare on 311-9 which left India chasing 387 which was the 4th highest run chase in the history of Cricket.

India started brightly in their pursuit with Sehwag whacking every English bowler and especially Harmison all over the ground with some brilliant shots before getting trapped lbw off Swann for 83 off 68 balls. Gambhir also played well in his 66 runs but when these boys got out India still had a lot of work to do and England still looked like grabbing a precious 1-0 lead in the series enter Tendulkar.

The little magician and Yuvraj enjoyed a magical partnership and smashed Monty in particular to all four corners of the ground and although I was very disappointed I was happy to watch such a brilliant innings from Sachin (103 not out) who helped India win a test that did not look likely throughout the whole test match. His partnership with Yuvraj (85 not out) took India home and gave them a 1-0 lead in the two match series.
