[Sir john]

[Sir john]

bopara hit a hundred,:beer::beer:

[Chandan]

If they win, it'll be good for India as WI A will be left with only victory in the tournament. But India will need to defeat Eng Lions anyway, to reach the final.

[Sir john]

Bopara a super batsman.

[saneindian]

Beating this Lions squad looks a tough task, but if our batsmen can put up a competitive score (275+), we will have a good chance of making it to the final.

SirJ, better than Mark Gillespie ? :nervous:

Ravi Bopara sparkles as England Lions triumph against WI A Ravi Bopara strikes a superb 168 and takes four wickets as England Lions beat West Indies A in the one-day tri-series. More... Ravi Bopara sparkles as England Lions triumph One-day tri-series, Worcester: England Lions 345 (49.1 ovs) beat West Indies A 221 (40 ovs) by 124 runs Match scorecard Bopara acknowledges the New Road crowd after reaching a stylish century Ravi Bopara struck a sparkling 168 as England Lions reached the tri-series final with their third win out of three, a 124-run rout of West Indies A. On the day that England opted for Jonathan Trott to replace the injured Kevin Pietersen, Bopara struck 23 fours and two sixes in a 140-ball innings. Trott made just one and was the second of two wickets to go in the first over but the Lions recovered to amass 345. Bopara then took 4-43 as the Windies were all out for 221 in the 40th over. Bopara was part of the England squad at the World Twenty20 earlier this year, but played only one match when Pietersen flew home to be with his pregnant wife. However the 25-year-old Essex batsman has not featured at Test or one-day international level this year. He found himself out of favour after making only 105 runs in seven innings during the Ashes series last summer and has not been able to add to his 10 Tests since. His last one-day international came in the Champions Trophy in South Africa in September 2009, and in 50 matches he has a modest average of 27 with only four half centuries. The man preferred to him for next week's three-match series with Bangladesh, Trott, had succumbed to an edge behind after a flat-footed drive at a wide one and another England senior squad player, Ian Bell, was also caught behind for a single. That brought in Bopara at a precarious 14-3 but he confidently opened his account with two boundaries and took his side beyond the 300 mark with a scintillating display before he was finally dismissed in the 46th over. Peter Trego, who shared in a match-winning partnership in the previous game, also enjoyed a fine all-round match for the Lions. The 29-year-old Somerset man smashed 73 from only 55 balls with 10 fours and a six then picked up 5-40 with the ball in an emphatic Lions victory.

[TumTum]

He is earning the reputation of being a WI bully :haha:

[Sir john]

[Sachinism]

[Sachinism]

England Lions vs India A, Worcester 6th Jul 2010 England Lions 36/1 in 9 Kulkarni bowled Trott

[Sachinism]

They've changed gears 76/1 in 13.5 :nervous:

[Sir john]

India must win today.

[saneindian]

Finally Abdulla gets a wicket!! 113/2 in 20 overs Why is Jaskaran Singh getting to play so many matches? Why not Unadkat or Tyagi in his place? We are playing with just 3 bowlers.

Lions call for Parry Lancashire left-arm spinner Stephen Parry has been called up to the England Lions squad for the final of the triangular one-day tournament against West Indies A or India A at New Road on Thursday More... Lions call for Parry 6 July 2010 Stephen Parry's fine form for Lancashire has earned him England Lions recognition ahead of Thursday's one-day final at New Road Lancashire left-arm spinner Stephen Parry has been called into the England Lions squad for the final of the triangular one-day tournament against West Indies A or India A. The 24-year-old replaces James Tredwell, who will link up with the senior one-day party ahead of the NatWest Series against Bangladesh following the Lions’ final round-robin game against India A today. Parry’s call-up represents a reward for his impressive domestic form this season. He has been an ever-present in Lancashire’s one-day side, and is among the leading bowlers in the Friends Provident t20 with 20 wickets at 13.50 apiece in 11 games. Only Alfonso Thomas and Adil Rashid have taken more. The Lions have already secured their place in Thursday’s final at New Road, while India A need to win today to book their spot at West Indies A's expense. Lions captain Alastair Cook, who has missed the last three matches with a back problem, could return to play in the final if he suffers no adverse reaction to taking part in practice this afternoon.

[saneindian]

Too many overs to Manoj Tiwary. Dhawan did well with the ball in the last match, why not let him bowl more overs?
