Vaughan criticizes India’s warm-up tactics – Cricket News Update
Former England skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145, has hit out at the Indian selectors for not including a spinner in their A side which will take on the touring English contingent in the first warm-up game from November 3.
In the highly anticipated battle, the Men in Blue have made their intentions clear that they will test their upcoming opponents by going spin-heavy when the eventual series kicks off from 15th of next month. So it hardly came as a surprise when
the new selection committee, headed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sandeep-Madhusudan-Patil-c88494, included four front line seamers in the 14-man India A, leaving no room for a spinner.
The group, led by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parvinder-Awana-c80792. However, the decision not to incorporate a slow bowling
option has not gone down well with Vaughan, who feels that their upcoming opponents are taking an unfair home advantage.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to play no spinners against England in the A team warm-up game ... if that's what the game has come to???? Pathetic tactics," Vaughan tweeted.
"I don't think its (sic) in the Spirit of game. Prepare wickets which suit your team (spinning tracks) that should be enough... Poor form!!!
"India's tactics are terrible for the game... It's taking home advantage to a new level... Other teams might follow."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691 bamboozled them in the three-match Test series.
They were further troubled by spin on a short tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 but still managed a hard-fought draw. Their misery against slow bowling were again evident in the recently concluded World T20 where they failed to defend their crown after being knocked out
from the competition during the Super Eight stage.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lloyd-c53058, another former Englishman and current Sky Sports expert, was also highly critical of India’s stance. "No spinner in India A team vs England....totally lacking in class and style decision," Llyod tweeted.
