India A vs Australia A in India

Michael Clarke?

Come on Nath, be fair. There are only 7 Spivs in the Aus side you know. There's still room for another 4.

He is already in the team. I was talking about the spinner or spinners who will be selected for the Australian squad.

Once again the match has been delayed due to wet outfield because of overnight rain!

Aust A won the toss and are batting first

India A 1 Robin Uthappa, 2 Sahil Kukreja, 3 Parthiv Patel (wk), 4 S Badrinath, 5 Mohammad Kaif, 6 Virat Kohli, 7 Piyush Chawla, 8 Vinay Kumar, 9 Mohnish Parmar, 10 Dhawal Kulkarni, 11 Sudeep Tyagi

Australia A 1 Phillip Hughes, 2 Simon Katich, 3 Adam Voges, 4 Marcus North, 5 George Bailey, 6 Luke Ronchi (wk), 7 Jason Krejza, 8 Ashley Noffke, 9 Peter Siddle, 10 Xavier Doherty, 11 Doug Bollinger

Both Casson and McGain failed fitness tests, so Doherty (who is there for the one day games) is playing.

Code:

Australia A first innings Runs Balls 4s 6s
PJ Hughes c Kaif b Kulkarni 4 21 - -
*SM Katich c Parmar b Tyagi 32 52 4 -
AC Voges c Patel b Kulkarni 11 27 2 -
MJ North not out 14 28 3 -
GJ Bailey not out 9 10 1 -


India is blowing its chances by not giving Mishra a chance!!

Hughes!

He is just 19 yesrs old, for God's sake! But he got out to a 19 years old bowler as well who has no FC cricket experience!

Well Chandan, nobody in Aus is pumping up Hughes tires and expecting that much from him, except, rather inexplicably, the silly old Roman from Vomitville.

I think the next batting star from Australia will be Shaun Marsh!

Kulkarni has again taken 2 wickets and apparently had the openers in trouble earlier on. Tyagi is bowling well too. I hope these two go on to play well in Ranji also.

Yes, he has really come out of nowhere to grab his chance with both hands. I hope he continues his advancement.

Again Day two has started with wet outfield!! Can't these guys do something beforehand?

What? Is it monsoon season in India?

Yes. Monsoon has not ended as yet. But in Delhi (North India) we are not getting rain while in Bangalore and Hyderabad (South India) they are getting torrential rain.

Made sense to schedule the game for Hyderabad then.......

BCCI always makes sense with scheduling, doesn't it?

They may be rolling in cash but they are destitute in the brains department.

Very true. In fact I think they never use their brain for cricket and money is rolling in because of the fans not BCCI's efficiency!

Apparently, umpires will have another inspection at 12.30 IST . Even if the play starts at 1.00, one and a half sessions will be lost again!

What an absolutely pointless series . . .

But then I think it rains in the winter down south, though it has been quite some rain in Hyderabad this year. They also had to reschedule the AFC Challenge Cup to Delhi from Hyderabad because of the rains (which actually worked out brilliantly for us).
