Chairmans XI Matches v India

[Jim05]

Why did we declare?
Keep the pricks in the field for 2 days because I can guarantee the Indians will use this as batting practice

Agree Jim, and Coops second double hundred of the year could have made him a strong case (not that he didn't do that anyway) for Test selection...

[Brodlach]

:ymapplause: Well done Tom Cooper


Anyone heard what is wrong with Sharma?

Read a report that Indian officials said he only planned on bowling six overs that day.
His ankle strapping came loose after 5.3, so he left the field to get it re-done, and didn't feel the need to come back on...

If correct that is crap.


P.S. Love your signature MP

Happy 59th birthday to the Big Bird today

Then no prick will play these games in the future, they are designed to get climatised to our conditions, a friendly.

Or next time we are in India they would do the same thing. They are supposed to be a warmup for the visitors and as a benefit for the hosts they get to expose a bunch of new players to national team players.

Are India at full strength bowling wise???

In my opinion no. Khan's fitness is not determined as yet and P.Kumur is injuried. Then the next fast man in line, Aaron I think it was is also injuried and not here.

Thought Hughes was already told he wouldnt play in 1st test.

[Jim05]

3/116
Hughes 20
At least he wasnt caught in slips
Went for the slog sweep off Ashwin and popped it up to backward square leg where Dhoni ran around to make the catch

Still caught by a behind the wicket fieldsman

Cowan almost sealed his spot with this innings? What do we think?

I want him in but not necessarily sealed it, if Watson plays Hughes goes out, Could be the only change to the batting line up.
