Old guy Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 ahmed actually surprised me with his consistency rkt even u will agree tht even after tht duleep trohpy final we thought he will need 1 more season atleast to get consistency and over here he always kept things tight and picked up wickets...really gr8 prospect o wickets were one the bouncier side.. now if pujara can even score runs here agaist tall bowlers (not syaing they are test class but still) then im convinced abt him even kohli struggled here in tests...these bouncy wickets are hardest for us indians
Old guy Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 shami si any day better test bowler then dinda but dont even think of picking him for tests thatsh ow we normally destroy our bowlers .. mroe tours like this would really help him hope he learns to get wickets and not curse his luck after bad performances :D
Sooda Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 To be fair to them it is not their fault, sudden injury to Robin they could not have forseen that. Unless you argue that standby players should have had their visas sorted regardless if they were going or not- you could argue that. On a side note they should have had a different set of players for ltd overs matches anyway- for instance Rohit and Tiwary are India senior players, they should not be playing A team ltd overs cicket... Rahul Sharma too

Ultimate_Game Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Same shyte different tour. If this sort of stuff happens to our national team, it's a given A team and u-19 teams will endure similar stuff. I don't expect BCCI to learn anything from it and be pro-active.
Vilander Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 He does not have a great record on Indian pitches yet' date=' very inexperienced. He and Aaron both need at least one FC season. Zaheer and Yadav will be starters.[/quote'] i wonder if this is were we make mistake. even SL has produced Malinga, a geneuin test quick,we are the only nation ( other than BD and below) that has never produced a geneuin quick test bowler yet. Yadav will make one if he keeps his pace/place for the next 3 seasons. i think india should take Shami to NZ.:two_thumbs_up:

ravishingravi Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Has there ever been a time when we have panicked apart from Sachin'100. Even after 8-0, not one thing has changed.
Old guy Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Has there ever been a time when we have panicked apart from Sachin'100. Even after 8-0' date=' not one thing has changed.[/quote'] we just needed to send ashwin on this tour panic would ve come after his comments automatically :beach:
Vilander Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Has there ever been a time when we have panicked apart from Sachin'100. Even after 8-0' date=' not one thing has changed.[/quote'] thats because India has been so utterly dominant at home and so inescapably pathetic abroad for so sleep-inducingly long a time that we know at their worst, at home, they will white wash NZ probably.

West Indies chief selector hails A-team programme IANS | Posted on Jun 22, 2012 St.John's (Antigua): West Indies' chief selector Clyde Butts has hailed the value of the A-team programme, following West Indies A's successful outing against India A in the three-Test series earlier this week. The hosts crushed the Indians by ten wickets at Beausejour Cricket Stadium in St Lucia to take the series 2-1. They lost the opening four-day "Test" in Bridgetown by two wickets but rebounded to win the second match in St.Vincent by 125 runs, Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) reported. "The A Team programme in the West Indies is about development and looking at the resources available as we build towards the future in West Indies cricket. It is also about being competitive against all opponents we face," said Butts. "We want to develop our players and see them move forward but we also want to develop a winning mindset. In the 'Test' matches the players showed that they are developing into a very competitive unit and it was really good to see the way they performed against more experienced opposition and won the series." "They were exceptional in all departments and deserved to win." The West Indies Cricket Board has placed a greater emphasis on the A-team programme in recent years, with several tours organised at home and away. Butts said the victory over India A was testimony to the ongoing development of the side, and stressed the WICB would be continuing to support the programme. "The WICB has set out a policy of development and where we want to go. This series win and some of the individual performance were steps in that direction and we are confident that we are on the right path," the former West Indies off-spinner said. "We saw players stepping up and playing with confidence and assurance. Last year we also played some good cricket when the Bangladesh A Team came to the West Indies. The win in this series against India was a huge bonus." West Indies A will face India A in a Twenty20 doubleheader this weekend, with the visitors starting as favourites because of their experience in that format of the game. Butts said, however, the side selected for the two matches were also selected from a developmental standpoint, especially with the T20 World Cup approaching in September. "We have the World T20 tournament in Sri Lanka coming in September, that's just around the corner, so we have selected a number of players who have represented the West Indies in this format and others who have done well in the regional competitions," Butts pointed out. "We had some players who featured in the 'Tests' but are not in the T20 side. We want to make it clear they have not been dropped or anything like that. This weekend we are focussing on the T20s and we have selected a few new faces to have a closer look at them against the Indians."
