England Lions in India

[Adarsh]

We got beaten by a good test side on their home ground in the sub continent, because plenty of teams roll over sub continetal sides dont they.

A good test side ? A poor first class side rather. Still, poor collapse. They choked...they were so nearly in the final.

 

[Animator!]

I was talking about our 'recent poor test form' and the test side in question was Sri Lanka. We heavily underestimated them and felt we could roll them over in their own backyard, when not many sides do that.

But yeah, our A side fudged up.

 

[Sureshot]

Not only that, but the senior team have thrown away all of the Fletcher work and are back to their Test form of the 90s.

Fletcher threw most of it away in Australia.

All sides collapse. Don't see why everyones making a deal out of a blooming A side doing it. That's why they are out there, to learn!

 

[sohum]

Yeah--looks like a pretty good prospect. Though his average is a little bloated since he's played only a handful of games. It'll probably rise into the 60s after this game!

Yup, 60.35!

great to see west zone win today. y pathan deserves a place in the indian side

 

[.Mob]

NO HE DOES NOT. OMFG.

People like Badri and Tiwary have been waiting for their turn for so long now, nobody is going ahead of them in the waiting list, no one at all.

 

[Kev]

Anyone know why Denly batted lower down the order in the second innings?

 

[.Mob]

Injury? It must have been really hot. Either that, or they though they needed to strengthen the lower order.

He couldn't handle the 115kph pace of the West Zone opening bowlers

I think we are all disappointed that they didn't make the finals after the hard work over the past two weeks in which, they got themselves into a postion to get to the finals and blew it in one day.

Yeah, the daunting figure of Trivedi was way too much (Trivedi has all the qualities of a broomstick).

I agree with mob.
Y. pathan already got his chance in 20-20 WC.i won't say he was bad there but he opened the ininng there for india!
Other point is tiwary proved enough to get his chance.he looks like comfortable,in flow,mentally strong.i really want to see tiwary playing in CB serise!

Freddie is set to play for the Lions tomorrow. We are playing Mumbai.

The Lions should beat Mumbai considering that Mumbai's best players will be in the Duleep Trophy final.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Freddie best not bowl, if he bats fine but he's done no bowling since he went back to Lancs but I wouldn't put it past us to end up giving him 20 overs. edit-- what does this match mean? just a tour game or in a competition?
