Practice Match 1.
Well, Kochi here was to host an Important game of the series, the practice match, which would build up some confidence to the guests.

Sri Lankans were all set to go with almost second XI.
India A was ready for the challenge under Rohit Sharma's captaincy.
Well, now we'll move on to the toss with CG123.
TOSS:

CG123: Well, good morning everyone, Here is the toss of the tour match.
First of all, I'd like to introduce the people on pitch here, from me, its Roshan Mahanama, the match referee, Rohit Sharma, the India A Captain and Kumara Sangakkara, the Sri Lankan Captain.
Kumar to Spin the coin and Rohit to call.
Rohit Sharma: Heads.
Roshan Mahanama: Tails it is..
CG123: Well Kumar, you've won the toss, what are you going to do??
Kumara Sangakkara: Well, no doubt, we'll have bowling as we have to test our bowling strength without Vassy.
CG: Who are in, who are out.
Sanga: Well, many changes to the team here. And tbh, we are going with a line up which seems to be second XI of our team.
CG123: So, Good luck Kumar, have a good play of cricket.
Sangs: Cheers dude, thanks.
CG123: Well, that was Sri Lankan Captain, and now, Rohit, what would you have done??
Rohit: I'd have batted on this pitch.
CG123: So you even are happy man now IINW.
Rohit: Yeah, but we need to play well. Even after losing the toss, we are doing what we wanted. We should utilize this oppertunity.
CG123: Who are the 2 sitting at Pavilion??
Rohit: MS Gony and Laxmi Shukla
CG123: Well good luck mate, have good cricket.
Rohit: Thanks a lot Gray
CG123: Well thats the news from the center, Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to Field first.​

Meanwhile, the two openers Wasim Jaffer and Rohit Sharma walked in.
It was Chanaka Welegedra, to start for Sri Lanka.
The two openers started off well by adding 136 runs to the opening partnership. But Rohit Sharma was given out for a LBW conflict which Herath appealed.
He walked back when he was at 53 runs.
And then walked in Venugopal Rao.
the pair of Venugopal and Jaffer remained unbroken when both performed some exceptional cricket.
Jaffer was always leading from the front by scoring runs.
The duo just respected the good balls and punished the balls, which deserved to.
Mean while, in this pattern, Mr Jaffer came up to his century (104) and Venugopal came up to 40 run marks.

Then spoke out the umpire,"Its time for lunch gentlemen. India A are 207 leading by 207 runs."
That made the test match pretty interesting.
=============
Few Hours later...
And After Lunch, the duo performed even well by scoring run a ball and scoring boundaries very frequently.

In this process, Venugopal Rao came up to century and Wasim Jaffer came up to his double century.
The score at Tea was 371-1 and it was Bowlers, who gave too many extras in the innings.
=============
Few Hours later...
Then after tea, Both played calmly ending the days play at 401-1 where Wasim Jaffer ended 213 and Venugopal Ended 113.
Total score off Bat was 376 and the extras were counted to be 25.

Stumps after Day 1.
India A
401-1
Wasim Jaffer: 213*
Venugopal Rao: 113*
Rohit Sharma: 53.
Sri Lanka:
Rangana Herath:1-113.
​

Well, after the game, Hedger had a chat with Sri Lankan Captain, who quoted:

Well, in fact, we did win the toss and choose to bowl first to check out bowling performance on true batting surface.
That mattered a lot. And I don't mind even losing this game as the decisions we took can explain them. I started off the bowling with Welegedra and Rangana Herath. Checkout how many times a spin bowler started the things off as a second bowler on first session of day 1.
And I tried some strange field settings which no one previously did.
And this is the result of all these things.
So, Nothing to worry by seeing India A's score

Great effort by India A.
Just some points I'd like to mention, try to avoid using acronyms, maybe put a blank line between the toss, first session, second session and third session (paragraph it).
Also you have written [/RIGHT] and [/SIZE] near the bottom, and you might want to fix that up.
Other than that, keep it up.

[AbhishekS]

Wasif Jaffer is simply awesome.
Scoring tons of runs has become a habit for him.

Rohit Sharma also played a handy role.

Y. Venugopal Rao was the surprise.
He is really going strong.
Just hope that he reaches his 150.

 

[yashwanth kumar]

No suprises with the batting order of India A and watching Wasif Jaffer playing blistering strokes from the commentary box was exciting hope he continues his strokes ..........

Y. Venugopal Rao another guy who made the Sri Lankan bowlers think a lot hope he reaches 200 ..........

Rohit Sharma handy Knock by him .............

Sri Lankan bowlers needs to bowl tighter line .........

 

[Prithvi]

Guys, an important note:
Due to my examinations and the portion left to cover, My elders have decided to sack the Internet connection whereas I'm struggling for limitation of it to 1.5 or 1 GB per month.
So, what ever may happen, this story will go slow from now on.
If I get some more holidays here for the frmation of Telangana State, its well and good, I'll try finishing Sri Lankan series, if not, I'll update it once or twice in a week.
