An A team is better than Bangers or Mugabes XI.

So its great for Kenya.

Definately. This will really help Kenya get promoted if they keep playing 'A' teams.

1st Match result

Kenya innings: 98 all out (Pankaj Singh 4/29)
India A innings: 99/0 (Kumar 57 not out)

India A win by 10 wickets

What can I say, that is an amazing performance by any standards. Kenya have shown to be able to hang on in a game for longer than the two hours they lasted against India A. Good bowling from Pankaj Singh who seems to be one for the future. Unfortunately, Yo Mahesh got a bit of tap and seems to have lost his way a bit on this tour.

Praveen Kumar was impressive with ball and bat, it is a mystery as to why he did not receive a spot in the twenty20 squad since hard hitting all rounders seem to be the criteria for the ideal twenty20 cricketer.

Sri Lanka A beat India A. 33 runs came of the last 26 balls. Kulasekara (4 wickets for only 10 runs) and Welegedara (3 wickets for only 23 runs) did a great job with the ball.

India A 102 (36.2 ov)
Sri Lanka A 106/6 (30.2 ov)

Sri Lanka A won by 4 wickets (with 118 balls remaining)

Thats a good bounce back from Kenya after their not so good display against India A.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Surprising to see that Sri Lanka A lost to Kenya after they beat India A, which themselves beat Kenya.

4th match result

India A innings: 280/7 (Pujara 67, Kumar 64, Kaif 51)
Kenya innings: 200 all out

India A win by 80 runs

Very good performance from the batsman, sad that Pathan did not get wickets and clearly his bowling is still not up to scratch, good to see him get quick runs though.

 

[sohum]

I think Pathan's days as a bowler are numbered unless he finds some major inspiration from somewhere. He used to earlier decimate such weaker teams and struggle against the big boys.

i agree, i mean he has been struggling to hit 75mph nowadays.....

i agree, i mean he has been struggling to hit 75mph nowadays.....

He is working with a new action in the MRF Pace Foundation; Sekhar and Lillee "were satisfied". If they were satisfied, I am sure he will be hitting 80mph most of the time.

It still seems he is not used to his new action, he will be very useful in the twenty20 championship as his hitting today showed but still has a long way to go till a long term international return.

 

[sohum]

That's just the problem. Of late he is only making headlines because of his batting or because he is working on his bowling.
