***PLEASE NOTE- MY BIGGEST OBSERVATION 80 % OF THE GROUP IS

LACKING FITNESS AFTER BOWLING A SPELL OF 3 OVERS. THE 2ND SPELL
OF 2 OVERS REALLY SHOWED THIS UP. THEIR PACE, CONCENTRATION
AND CONTROL ALL DROPPED OF DRASTICALLY. EXCEPT FOR AMIR
,VAIBHAV,GAURAV & ABUL
SO, IN SUMMARY THIS TELLS ME THAT WHATEVER PRE SEASON
TRAINING THE GROUP HAD BEEN DOING WAS NOT ADEQUATE OR WAS
ILL DIRECTED.
