India A to play 3 first class matches on the A tour to WI, June 2012

This series is a reality check for our bench strength. So much was talked about few batsmen. Maintaing an avg of over 50 is so very easy in indian domestic circuit as the pitches are dead rubbers and bowling is below par. Real test comes on these kind of A tours. So far, nothing new was found.......as expected Pujara did well.....he should have been in the test squad long time back........This tour proved that he can be drafted into the india side directly even if he gets injured again in future..... Rohit .....as usual flashy and not applying himself.....dont deserve to be in the test sqaud unless he realises the importance of his extra-ordinary skills...... Manoj is a mediacore players....shoudln't be a part of any A side going forward. He can be easily replaced by mandeep or surya kumar yadav........dhawan ..a complete joker.....should be replaced with unmukh Chand.........mukund should be persisted for few more A tours....he seems to have the temparament and can play long innings (got few 200+ runs in domestic circuit).....Again Rahane should be persisted for few more tours. Find of the tour is defintly Shami ahmed......Few more A tours and couple of Ranji seasons should have him ready for wearing blue jersy... Completely surprised that Dinda is not getting wickets....is he totally fit after getting injured in IPL?? He was bowling incredibly in recently concluded IPL...Easily one of the best IPL Pace bowlers

great day ahead, more likely we will lose this one.. terrible batting from the top order as usual, cant cope with pace,bounce,swing,little moverment + the 3 idiots at the top really hampering the teams position in the game...some possitives out from the game, pujara has done well, hopefully saha nd nohit scores some runs 2morrow in tough conditions to prove their worth... the bowlers have consistantly bowled well, this was a problem on away tours, but ahmed,dinda nd this guy dawerekar have done great... hopefully the match is saved or won 2day to sel the series

From yesterday: #WIvIND: DROPPED! Lazy, loose drive from Rohit straight to Permaul at cover. In and out! Johnson denied his 5th wicket. IND 47-4. Rohit 6* :facepalm:

He is playing according to the situation :cantstop: 4 down.. less than 100 on a turner, first session of 5th day.. most secure way to approach is playing a lofted shot

Aren't we supposed to be better players against spin? I guess that happens on patta not turners. On turners we are just as bad as everyone else in the world.
:agree: 08 series in Lanka.

not really.if we hv good spinners we'll still win most games again non SC teams.Rahul was a dissapointment/ n its not just a turner but has variable bounce it seems

Only Viru to some extent Gauti are good on such pitches. We want Viru's head because he failed in SA, OZ, England.. our replacements will suck in SL, BD as well at this rate :cantstop:

Point is if there is anyone who are going to be good against spin that is going to be us. We play spinners day in day out in the domestic on all kind of pitches ranging from pitch with invariable bounce to pitch that turn from day one. We are supposed to be better equipped. It is bad technique. On certain pitches playing off the backfoot is detrimental. You have to quickly assess that.

westindies ‏@westindies #WIvIND: Pace like fire! Johnson all fired up and gave Rahul Sharma a snorter - just managed to pull his head out the way. That was quick!

Rohit will most probably play another good innings in one more innings on this tour,that will be all :hahaha: and we are seriously doomed if Tiwari and Dhawan are India's test prospects :rofl:
