Huff , sums up the worst day in my life after a long time given the cycle of events that took place starting from uni :facepalm

Also Haari, that was just one off series where I took T20's as a joke

Incase you forgot , your only win in that tour came off a t20 match . :rolleyes

AkshayS said:
since rankings carries from one season to another, therefore you had the advantage.
And the reason you've provided here makes very little sense . It sounds as if England were deliberately placed ahead of India initially in the rankings . We never stopped you from winning games or beating us , did we ?? :rolleyes

Sri Lanka A won by 28 runs
  
Man of the match: Thilina Kandamby

Sri Lanka A are the second finalists of the 'A' World Cup (aka season 4).
India A and Sri Lanka A will take on each other on March 21st, at Lord's Cricket Ground while the Proteas and the Lions will take on each other on 20th March for the third-place playoffs.

 
Just two major competitions finished as of now which says nothing when compared to the mammoth 9-0 scoreline we possess over you in terms of the rankings . And guess what , the first thing am doing right now is wishing you the worst of luck .

Ben stokes , take a bow :facepalm
 
Because nowhere in your dreams are you gonna come close to us in the other two formats .

Don't be so overconfident, I don't believe in these rankings, instead I believe in head to head results. And now stop this, I'm not enjoying it anymore.
 
For the record, India A is now ahead of Lions in the OD rankings.
 
For the record, India A is now ahead of Lions in the OD rankings.

Never mind , let him enjoy that for a peaceful week or so before we get that 2nd spot back ;)
That was something i enjoyed for 3 successive seasons , plus top ranked in tests as well :D
Oh wait , should he lose the final , wont his ranking drop again ?
 
Now taking lineups for the playoff and the grand finale in the SG.
 
Superb Presentation, Good Work Varun.
I will be supporting India A for the Finale:cheers
