India A to play 3 first class matches on the A tour to WI, June 2012

[daryl1985]

LOL at Rohit's 4 wickets, i wonder if it was down to bad batting or decent bowling. Mukund and Rahane have been disappointing so far, i have high hopes for them 2.

Anyone know how tall this Shami Ahmed guy is? Cricinfo have 2 pictures of him, they look like 2 different people. The 2nd picture of him looks like a different person altogether, both in terms of facial features and physique (looks much taller in the 2nd pic if you look at his legs).

It's criminal that a guy like Shami didn't get a game in IPL while trundlers like Koomars, Gony, Balaji, Bhatia, etc. played throughout the tourney :banghead:

They did pretty well and KKR ended up winning it. Maybe Shami isn't suited to bowling in limited overs games. It is nice to see a guy who was hyped up before the Indian Domestic season started when no-one knew about him actually show potential and do well.

[Ultimate_Game]

Not very tall....same as Yadav' date=' aaron in height.[/quote'] But Yadav & Aaron look like they are around 6 feet & 1 to 2 inches, which is decent enough height for a fast bowler.

[Sir john]

windies win :om:

[Pagalpanti]

I don't think we should judge them just yet, its just the first match. They might have gone in thinking WI would be easy, I think Rahane and Mukund will come good in up coming games.

[MCcricket]

Critics over here are so fixated on being super harsh on these young players , even if they saw young Bradman batting he would not quite measure up, lol score 100 in every innings lol:icflove:

[Old guy]

[Old guy]

Critics over here are so fixated on being super harsh on these young players ' date=' even if they saw young Bradman batting he would not quite measure up, lol score 100 in every innings lol:icflove:[/quote'] Exactly. Had the batsmen piled on the runs, the comments would have been "it's against WI A and doesn't count". The likes of Rahane and Mukund have done well on nearly every A opportunity they have got in the last 2-3 years and to see comments like they are wasting opportunities is OTT. Yes it was disappointing to see them fail but there are 2 more tests in the series and they will come good. On the match, with 164 to get, despite the pitch playing tricks, we should win this..Dhawan, Pujara, Rohit, Tiwary and Saha..still some batting to come, one decent partnership will seal it for us.

2 months on bench for Mukund in IPL. Gonna take some time, he should have gone somewhere else during that time to play.

[rkt.india]

But Yadav & Aaron look like they are around 6 feet & 1 to 2 inches' date=' which is decent enough height for a fast bowler.[/quote'] no Yadav is around 5' 9-10". Aaron is around 5' 11"

"it's against WI A and doesn't count".

THIS !!

[bulbul]

He looks around 5'11 decent height Shami Ahmed not getting game time in IPL could be due to injury like Pujara who was also rested for most part of the IPL and he used that time to prepare for WI tour If he keeps impressing throughout the tour then a call up to the Indian team should be in the pipleline sometime this year

:phehehe:

But Yadav & Aaron look like they are around 6 feet & 1 to 2 inches' date=' which is decent enough height for a fast bowler.[/quote'] Yadav isnt tall 5'11 max, I took a photo with him, and hes easily shorter then me. Im 6'0 - 6-1.
