England v Mumbai Cricket Association President's XI at Mumbai (BS)

[Sachinism]

Nov 11, 2008 @ 3:30 GMT Englands second tour match. They had a decent start in the 1st game against a team of nobodies with freddie scoring a ton http://content-www.cricinfo.com/indveng/engine/match/361040.html Anyone know whats the team for this game?

[Dirty_South]

The only player I know is Yeligati, he played for Mumbai Indians. Edit - even N Kulkarni :)

[Fontaine]

England are getting spanked by Mumbai XI Final Warmup game and England are playing like it's a 20/20 match for Stanford with $$$$ on the line: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/england/7721282.stm England 60-8

Amazing... as usual they are using the Indian tour as a warm up for Ashes :hysterical: "If all goes according to plan for England - starting with the India tour - it is possible that they could start the Ashes as favourites BBC Sport's Oliver Brett" I'm amazed by their constant "Ashes" campaign. They never seem to get tired of that. I think the Aussies will unleash their full fury on the hapless Kiwis and the "Ashes" chasing England.

[Fontaine]

England 90 all out chasing. http://content-www.cricinfo.com/indveng/content/current/story/377833.html England are still a team that collapse like a house of cards when the pressure is on and no pretty boy smile from their latest captain is going to mask that. I'm really hoping we can field our strongest bowling attack in the first couple of matches as I don't think their batting will be ready for us.

So true! It is amazing how they start planning for the Ashes just as they finish one and every series thereon is just a warm up for the next ashes! I hope Australia beat them comprehensively this time in England.

[Kartikey]

Arre Yaar, its all constan Ashes s*it here. Thats all they talk about when they mention Cricket. When you're watching matches on Sky Sports, all the crap commentators like Hussain and Atherton just harp on and on about the Ashes and how they should prepare.

[Sachinism]

Now they go and lose to a 2nd team of n00bs http://content-www.cricinfo.com/indveng/engine/current/match/361041.html

[Mr. Wicket]

Oh god, this has truly made my day. Mumbai's best batsman and bowler just finished playing a test match, their next best XI (plus a couple of other fringe guys) are playing Ranjis... and a side comprised of some 2nd XI and 3rd XI guys has comprehensively THRASHED England.

[Ram]

England's preparations for an upcoming Ashes series start, just as their current Ashes series ends. :D I am sure, even as they were walloped 0-5 in Australia last year, guys like KP and their coach was thinking of things to say about their preparation for their next Ashes series, while they were boarding their flight back home. England is always in perennial 'Ashes preparation' mode.:haha:

[Holysmoke]

Exactly.. I saw the team and checked again whether this was supposed to be the Mumbai team.. Then I read it was MCAP XI. A typical Mumbai team would look like 1. Wasim Jaffer 2. Ajinkya Rahane 3. Rohit Sharma 4, Sachin Tendulkar 5. Sahil Kukreja 6. Amol Mazumdar 7. Abhishek Nayar 8. Ajit Agarkar 9. Vinayak Samant 10. Dhawal Kulkarni 11.Dinesh Salunke/Romesh Pawar All this with Raje/Yeligati/Chitnis/Bahutule as subs. I think this team can take on England. :D

[Mr. Wicket]

Dinesh Salunke? Wash your mouth out, holy. Salunke is a joke of a cricketer (and I don't believe he even plays for Bombay - not as if he'd ever keep a spot in the side). We'd pick Bahutule, Iqbal Abdulla, Nilesh Kulkarni, Ankit Chavan, Usman Malvi, Mundeep Mungela, Swapnil Hazare and a whole lot of others ahead of him.

[Holysmoke]

Dinesh Salunke? Wash your mouth out, holy. Salunke is a joke of a cricketer (and I don't believe he even plays for Bombay - not as if he'd ever keep a spot in the side). We'd pick Bahutule, Iqbal Abdulla, Nilesh Kulkarni, Ankit Chavan, Usman Malvi, Mundeep Mungela, Swapnil Hazare and a whole lot of others ahead of him.

I liked what I saw in the IPL. :haha: Besides, I suspect he might have learnt a few tricks(read sledges) from Warney, and that should be enough for England :hysterical:

[Cricketics]

lol this was a freakin 3rd string Mumbai side to whom England lost

[Kohum]

lol this was a freakin 3rd string Mumbai side to whom England lost

Total of England was below 100 - :giggle:

[Predator_05]

Salunkhe isn't even a real cricketer. He hasn't played in any professional set up and the only reason why people know him is because he won some cricket reality show that was aired on cable TV.

And played alongside Warne for the Royals

I'd like to think that the greatest spinner ever sprinkled some magic dust on him, but i somehow doubt it...

I'd like to think that the greatest spinner ever sprinkled some magic dust on him' date=' but i somehow doubt it...[/quote'] Jaipur, April 22 (PTI) Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne has heaped praise on youngsters Ravindra Jadeja and Dinesh Salunkhe, saying they are superstars of the future. "Believe me, with the kind of talent Ravindra Jadeja and Dinesh Salunkhe have shown, they are going to be superstars in the near future," the Australian spin legend said after the six-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
