CA announce Chairman's XI squads to face India in warm up matches

[MCcricket]

I think Aussies will conspire to give Mithun wickets then they will automatically have a player helping their side playing for India.All this talk about line and length for a trundler bowling at 130 means nothing kid, firts bowl 140 consistently then talk about line and legth , seam, swing, u r terribly out of depth right now, please get injured so we can send Dinda or Pathan, I think at this point u r no good enough as a net bowler also.

any reason why they left out Ashwin too?.I have the feeling they will play the regular 11 in the next match.

looks like vinay is out bowling everybody as expected.

The CA site now has Yadav as the wicket taker :dontknow:

[cowboysfan]

haha-my bad.I still think vinay is better than mithun and we will be ok if the one of the top 3 go down.

And what a contrast it is from how England approached the Ashes. Last year, England arrived a month before the first Ashes Test, played three proper FC games and they had their performance squad players (the 'A' team) in Australia so that in case of injuries, the replacements were already acclimatized to Australian conditions. India's preparation and planning is laughable compared to that.

This is India's first overseas trip after they were whitewashed in England, where their insufficient preparation came in for sharp criticism. Dhoni said that aspect can be ruled out this time. "We are here close to 12 days early and if 12 days are not enough then one month wouldn't be enough so we have to adapt to the conditions." From Cricinfo
