England A lost their first tour match against Karnataka Cricket Association XI. I'll post the scorecard as soon as I can find it.

Karnataka: 120/2

Karnatake win by 8 wickets

Doesn't look good for England A, losing in a tour match. Looks like they got a long tour ahead of them

losing to karnataka is not too good.

 

[andrew_nixon]

[ricky123]

B) may be they dint send a good side.

 

[nik]

England "A" are crap. the best player is probably Ed smith!!! :

 

[optimist]

Isn't it strange how a couple of bad performances and suddenly the team is crap. So you're saying that the likes of Kevin Pieterson, Ed Smith and Simon Jones are all talentless. Also they were without Jones in those 2 matches against Karnataka and in the match before they played Karnataka didn't he take 4 wickets?

B) i think simon jones is a very good player ,he is the next brett lee.
