India ' A' beaten in opening match of 'A' triseries More... India ‘A' beaten in opening match Northampton: India ‘A' started its cricket tri-series campaign on a disastrous note as it slumped to a humiliating 166-run defeat at the hands of West Indies A side in the opening match at the County Ground here. Sent in to bat, West Indies piled up a mammoth 329 for six in its 50 overs on Monday, thanks to captain Devon Smith's breezy 98-ball 104 and Andre Fletcher's 88. Chasing the huge target, the Indian batsmen never got into the act and lost wickets at regular intervals and was skittled out for a paltry 163 in 33.2 overs with Jaskaran Singh top-scoring with a 45-ball 51. Openers Abhinav Mukund (12) and Ajinkya Rahane (23) failed to provide India a blistering start, which was required to chase down the stiff target, while hard-hitter Manish Pandey (14) also disappointed at the one-down position. Skipper Cheteshwar Pujara tried to resurrect the Indian innings with a patient 31 off 51 balls before Jaskaran came out with a gutsy display. End inevitable But once Jaskaran, who cracked three fours and as many sixes, was dismissed, the end was inevitable for India. Anthony Martin was the pick of the West Indian bowlers. Earlier, the West Indian opening duo of Smith and Fletcher gave a solid start by producing a 193-run partnership. Smith cracked 14 fours during his three-digit score while Fletcher adorned his 93-ball innings with 11 fours. West Indies lost its first wicket when pacer Mithun removed Fletcher in the 31st over and then Jaskaran, who scalped two wickets for 73 runs, dismissed Kirk Edwards (2) in the next over. Then two run-outs in quick succession saw Smith and Assad Fudadin (10) departing back to the pavilion. However, Kevin Stoute (52 not out) and Andre Russell (42) added 71 runs for the sixth wicket before the latter fell prey to Jaidev Unadkat.

Jonathan Trott's century steers England Lions to win England Lions won their opening match of the one-day tri-series, beating West Indies A by five wickets. More... Jonathan Trott's century steers England Lions to win One-day tri-series, Northampton: England Lions 281-5 (48.4 ovs) beat West Indies A 279-6 (50 ovs) Match scorecard -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trott last played limited-overs cricket for England in February England Lions won their opening match of the one-day tri-series, beating West Indies A by five wickets. Ajmal Shahzad had captain Devon Smith caught behind with the first ball of the match at Northampton, and the Windies were soon struggling at 46-3. But Kirk Edwards hit 147 from 132 balls to help set a total of 279-6. Jonathan Trott (118) led the chase, adding 113 with captain Alastair Cook (71) and 82 with Ian Bell (44) as the Lions won it with eight balls to spare. With the West Indian batting crumbling around him it was an impressive performance from 25-year-old Barbadian Edwards, who was at the crease for almost three hours and struck 18 fours and three sixes. His first half-century took 68 balls before he accelerated to score his next 50 in 35 deliveries. Shahzad captured an economical 2-25 from his 10 overs and will rejoin the senior squad along with Bell ahead of Wednesday's fourth one-day international against Australia at The Oval. It was two men not considered for the one-day squad, Trott and Cook, who impressed with a fine partnership compiled in 22.2 overs. Cook reached his fifty in 52 balls and hit a six in his 71 from 81 deliveries, while Trott had eight boundaries on his way to a half century. When Bell edged to the wicketkeeper 61 were still needed but Trott continued calmly, his century arriving from 102 balls. Ravi Bopara contributed a six and a four in his swift 18 and though both he and Trott departed before the end, the Lions were able to secure a victory going into their second match against India A at Grace Road, Leicester, on Thursday.

[Sir john]

he should be in ENG ODI team,:winky:

[achilles]

This man simply disappeared from the scene after one torrid series in South Africa. Another casualty of the selector's picks is Joseph Denly.

[saneindian]

Batting lineup of lions team looks quite strong, Trott, Cook, Bell, Bopara.

[achilles]

kaha disappeared hua bhai....abhi to test series khela vo against Bangla boys and scored double ton

That series, he was played as it was an inconsequential one. He's not a first choice player for them any more, it seems. And Joseph Denly too.

[Sir john]

4th Match: India A v West Indies A at Leicester - Jul 2, 2010 hope today we will win.:nervous:

[Chandan]

If they fail to win today, they won't reach the final, I think. It is the batsmen who have to take resposibility. India should bat first, thinking that our bowlers are utter rubbish on flat tracks.

[Sir john]

bowling is very poor - udayakant

[SachDan]

India A off to a good start. 30/0 after six overs.
