Ramdin ton not enough

MUMBAI, India (CMC): An uptempo, run-a-ball hundred by Denesh Ramdin was not enough to save West Indies from their second straight tour defeat as they went down by 16 runs to India A yesterday.

Chasing a challenging 282 at the Wankhede Stadium, the Windies could only muster 266 for nine off their 50 overs, with Ramdin leading the way with a sparkling 102.

Jason Holder further enhanced his growing reputation as an all-rounder with 54 from 42 deliveries, while former Test and one-day skipper Darren Sammy stroked 50 from 67 balls. But the rest or the batting faltered to leave the Windies short of their target.
