He is bowling really long spells.

He is bowling really long spells.

This is what is bothering me since yesterday. This is the guy's first FC match for heavens sake! Don't bowl him to dust in his very first match! PS, Finally Unadkat gets rest and Abdullah dismisses Edwards to make WI A 164/7

[Chandan]

Dhawal Kulkarni fails to take a single wicket in the 2nd inning. He also seems a little inept in exploting the old ball. Had Mithun been there instead of Ganapathy, or even Awana or Abu Nacheem, we could have had another strike bowler! It is absolutely impossible to succeed with just one strike bowler in the attack.

[Serani]

Seems India A are a one man bowling attack, when Unadkat isnt bowling its easy runs.

Seems India A are a one man bowling attack' date=' when Unadkat isnt bowling its easy runs.[/quote'] how did Criag Brathwaite do ? wasnt he supposed to score a lot of runs against our weak bowling attack ?

[jusarrived]

6 wickets again for Udakant , 13/63 for the match .

[Chandan]

Seems India A are a one man bowling attack' date=' when Unadkat isnt bowling its easy runs.[/quote'] It is a royal mess up by our selectors who sent one of the strike bowlers from this squad to the main Indian team and didn't provide this team another bowler to replace him. Had Mithun or Awana or Nacheem been here, we wouldn't have let WI A have a lead . But for now Unadkat takes 13 in the match and India A requires 111 runs to win. Hope the batsmen are successful in this chase!

Kraigg is the best batsman on the WI team by far, one bad game isnt gonna harm him.

[vvvslaxman]

II bet this guy is a swing bowler. India's seam bowlers rarely succeed. Dhawal should never ever play for India.

[Serani]

Dave Bernard open the bowling, what the hell. Andre Russell steaming through the Indian batting line up is the only hope for WI A.

Kulkarni is a waste of time .

Much like Salman butt is the best batsman in pakistan team :haha:

Kraigg will average 50 + in tests. He did better than any of the young Indian batters at the recent U19 WC anyways.

[Serani]

India 2 down. hopefully a major collapse coming.

[Chandan]

India A needs 40 runs to win the final session with 7 wickets in hand. Skipper Pujara departed just before tea, for 15 runs. Hope to get those runs without any further hiccup!

[Serani]

Rain coming to save WI.

clutch onto straws the day where west indies will not be a test team is not too far away !

[Chandan]

So India wins the match by 6 wickets within 3 days in what was supposed to be a 4 day match. Well done India A and Unadkat. I wish Mithun joins the squad even now, that the Zim tour is over. In the batsmen, Pandey and Tiwari have been disappointing till now. Hope they pick pace in the coming matches. Even Dhawan couldn't score a half ton against the pacy Tonge and Russel. Khan top scores as Windies 'A' fall LEICESTER Monday, June 14th 2010 Imran Khan, Gavin Tonge and Lionel Baker indulged themselves but they failed to save West Indies ’A’ from defeat when India ’A’ won the opening four-day ’Test’ by six wickets yesterday at Grace Road. Trinidad and Tobago all-rounder Khan struck seven fours in the top score of 62 from 95 balls in just under 2½ hours and Tonge hit six fours and one six in 46 from 57 balls in a little under 1¼ hours as Windies ’A’ were dismissed for 257 in their second innings after lunch on the final day. Windies ’A’ were again undermined by left-arm fast bowler Jaidev Unadkat. He took six wickets for 62 runs from 27.5 overs to end with match figures of 13 for 103. Baker, bowling second change, snared opposing captain Cheteshwar Pujara and Manoj Tiwary for 31 from 7.4 overs before Ajinkya Rahane struck him for the last of his four boundaries to formalise the result in the first hour after tea. West Indies ’A’ ran into early trouble when they continued from their bedtime total of 125 for five and Unadkat trapped Dave Bernard Jr without addition to his overnight duck. Khan came to the crease and dominated a stand of 39 for the seventh wicket with Edwards, but two wickets in the space of 24 balls wobbled Windies ’A’. Edwards was caught for 13 off Iqbal Abdulla, who also trapped Andre Russell lbw for one, to leave the Caribbean side 176 for eight. But Khan and Tonge carried West Indies ’A’ to 210 for eight at lunch and outdid themselves in a stand of 80 for the ninth wicket with some lusty hitting. Khan was eventually lbw to Unadkat, who four balls later bowled Tonge to bring the the Windies ’A’ innings to a close. Andre Russell made the breakthrough for Windies ’A’, when he bowled Shikhar Dhawan for 21 after giving India ’A’ a solid start. A smart bit of fielding from Kirk Edwards ran Abhinav Mukund out for 17 four balls later to leave India 40 for two. Baker wobbled India ’A’ when he trapped Pujara lbw for 15, but Tiwary joined Rahane and put the Indians firmly on course for victory with a stand of 42 before he was caught behind off the same bowler for 19 just before the end. The second and final four-day ’Test’ between the two sides starts on Thursday at the Whitgift School in Croydon. -CMC PS: Serani, above is a report for WI A.

^ Pandey did fail in the first innings here but otherwise hasn't had much opportunity, to be fair.
