India A tour of England

[lemsip]

Shardul is over the hill. He's doing nothing to make a case for being in the test xi. Time to move on. If one on them has to be picked,NKR is the man in possession, is younger and has a higher bar.

The only bowler who looks even halfway impressive is Kamboj. 

 

If pitches are flat Bazball pitches, their main team will hammer the likes of Thakur. 

I live in England. The weather so far this year has been very dry and sunny by English standards. Even in club cricket teams here have been piling on the runs this season

England Lions 406/5

Shardul with the worst economy rate and no wickets either. 

 

Picking him for his supposed batting abilities would be a massive blunder 

[putrevus]

Brook is so classy, he will have big series against India.

[nitinbwj]

Shardul, Reddy and Mookie are a disaster. 

[nitinbwj]

I will add Rana too. Not a single wicket against club level batsmen.

harshit back in attack....jatt da chora ...i trust him.

starts a bit Slow

77 mph ( same speed as Nkr Or Shardul)

82 K decent carry lovely 4stump ball

82k nearly getting the batsmen lbw ..batter could put an edge.

82 k legside bouncer..commentator calling it a bodyline bowling.

81k near yorker.

 

he did not get a wicket but he is trying to get the batsmen Out .

 

[vishalvirsingh]

harsh dubey is such an average bowler on this Pitch..no turn at all.

even a average english batsmen is hitting him well.

i wont play jaddu if first test is like this Pitch...may be i may consider washie or i may consider Harshit/arshdeep as 4th bowler.

boom siraj and prasidh being the three pacers.

What Eng Lions team this is?? Eng main team is playing odi series vs WI and there is vitality t20 going on.Are these players any good.

 

couple of years back pujara went to play in eng he was getting ~200 every match in oids, think shaw had a good start there, Nair had a good season.

what level of cricket they were playing there ???

[vishalvirsingh]

anshul kambhoj using a 110 over old ball...he has good control over his bowling but he is a seriously slow bowler. he bowls slower than NKR and Shardul too.

commentators are talking about DroP IN pitches.

picking up a dropin pitch from australia and dropping the pitch cut out in US.

 

 

[vishalvirsingh]

anshul bowling at 71 and 75 mph but good control.

i see only Harshit Rana worth joining INDIAN team from these bowlers ( i saw shardul/nkr/anshul/hars dubey today)

Dhruv is doing great as a keeper.

This is an assembled squad of teenagers and players from 2nd string county sides. Shaw and nair played against similar standard of opposition. So it is good for general acclimatisation to England but can't read too much into the actual performances

[vishalvirsingh]

Bakwaas hai Harsh Dubey ..definitely not one who can play for india in tests.23 overs ..no impression against england A

[vishalvirsingh]

anshul 77.3 mph

 

22 overs 65 runs 1 wicket ..

 

vyashak bowling 145k at the  9th stump..good run stopping bowling ..high pace at the 9th or 10th stump.

[vishalvirsingh]

karun nair bowling very well..one ball turned big.

[vishalvirsingh]

Karun nair gets a wicket..lbw.

he looks a decent part time bowler ...

[nitinbwj]

Pathetic bowling absolute garbage. Aaak thuuu. This Dubey has given 130 runs at over 5 rpo. Reddy is pathetic too. So what was the purpose of this match as I didn't see any bowling from India. Only trundlers and garbage. Good batting practice for everyone. 3 centurions from Eng

[nitinbwj]

And who the fukkk is this Eeshwaran guy. He knows nothing about captaincy.

This game is basically a glorified net session and India's performance is in keeping with the standard of opposition. Nothing learnt that we didn't already know
