Take a bow Lions !!! Commanding as always in the longer version of the game ever since i took over . One win away from reclaiming top spot in the test rankings. Credit to Sidebottom, he was fantastic both innings in such dead wickets of Lanka where its pretty tough for a touring side to bag 20 wickets over the 5 days .

India A won by 7 wickets
  
Man of the match: Iqbal Abdulla
 
worst game here. got out under 200 runs on the broad and didn't seem good when they got over 400. and when that happen you can imagine you can't find to win and that's what happened. looks to be a worst fc series against India.
 
All the bowlers were ecstatic there especially in the first innings, some mindblowing efforts there.
Abdulla is a serious domestic talent and he is very young, Selectors must look at him. He's also a good batsman, he has immensely improved his batting.
Kulkarni and Pathan were really good too, they both played upto potential and Unadkat chipped in at critical moments too.
In the batting, it's sad to see our main guns Rahane and Mukund failing but rest of the batsmen took full advantage of conditions. Hats off to Badri, Uthappa and Manhas, they all played really well to give us the series win.

Great efforts at the last.

Man of the match: Steve Harmison
 
Woohoo !!! Talk about character and we owe plenty of it . What a dramatic comeback in the 2nd half of the test match just when it seemed top spot in the test rankings was doomed . Harmison has given everything as a captain ever since he took over and what a way to finish the Season with a magnificent MoM performance when the team needed someone to pull a rabbit out of the hat . Not to forget our young lad in Alex Hales who started the run chase positively and left it to Bopara and Ben Stokes to finish it off . Take a bow Lions , we indeed are the Kings of the A Championships jungle :clap
 
Well this is a eligibility rule but 7 of my players are on National Duty.

I probably forgot announcing that the no. was increased to 7, just about when I was listing the national duties.
