India to play two tour matches in Australia

[IKnowU]

We will be lucky to get one extra match let alone two. The timeframe is very tight.

Thats why you need the Kumbles and Gangulys in BCCI.

what did he do ? :hmmmm2:

[Prakat]

So BCCI is going to ask CA to help them, so indian Players can perform better? I can't see CA helping BCCI specially after BCCI bullied every other cricketing nation with regards to DRS. I wonder what BCCI will say if CA want's to make deal like " You agree to Hawk Eye then we will give you one or two extra tour games '

It's unlikely that BCCI would release this news before getting CA on board.

Kuch nahin hone wala. We all saw how seriously the Indian brats took the practice games!

[Rahul Dravid]

what did he do ? :hmmmm2:

he will do things right if he is around..... he has the right attitude towards the development of indian cricket.

3 tour games is great. But then they have 4 back to back test matches in a month..

itd be much better if they spread it over 2 months and had 5 tests.

What do you mean BCCI "accepted" his suggestion like prasad from temple? They didn't know this in the 1st place? they were waiting for the England failure to make changes? So if we had won or drew in the Eng series they would have kept warm up games to 1 or none?

[NareshK]

Its also important to take these tour games seriously and use as them real preparation for the test matches. Hope Indian team has more hunger and determination to win the Aussie series than they showed in England.

[rkt.india]

But Indian team does not play these tour games seriously. Most of these players need to have break during WI test series.

Why not change the sequence? T20s first, ODIs next. They would be warm ups to the test matches. Nobody really cares about bilateral ODI series anyway. But they would be a nice way for a team to get used to the conditions before the tests begin.

We should start removing the bilateral ODIs and limit one days to few tournaments.

+1. or.. atleast have more tests and less odi matches.

That's practically not possible. In India, ODIs get more spectators and viewership.

No wonder people like Kumble, Ganguly were the lynchpins pf us becoming #1.

They accepted with Venkatesh Prasad around.

That's is true for most of BCCI's decision which doesn't generate revenue for them directly. They change after something bad happens.
