Ravi bopara leaked it couple of days ago the reason why India cancel a day of the tour match was because they were not happy with the Essex team they wanted, Harmer, Siddle, Bopara, Ryan Ten Doeschate to play and if they were not playing they didn't want the tour game to take place.
He said the Essex Ceo rang him the day before to ask him to play the match.
Got to say nice one BCCI if it was the case, you need to use your political clout and money clout to get the best teams you can in the warm up games.
Some of the warm up games ECB and Counties provide are a joke.
if they don't provide adequate stuff kill them where it hurts.
Might explain why Essex were so nice in providing the pitch Shastri and india wanted during the game as well.
never seen a touring game pitch prepared to the liking to the touring team before.
BCCI need to play hard ball here anyway since ECB won't get involved unless the Ashes are involved and they only doing that because they want strong warm up games in Australia before the ashes.
