Indians 258 for 6 (Rohit 54*, Dhawan 51, Rahul 50) v West Indies Cricket Board Presidents XI ScorecardRohit Sharma and openers Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul started the six-week long tour of the West Indies with fifties against West Indies Cricket Board Presidents XI in Basseterre, as the Indians accumulated 258 runs in 93 overs. After captain Virat Kohli chose to bat, Dhawan and Rahul got the Indians off to a strong start with a 93-run stand in 27 overs.Dhawan retired out after his 51, an innings that featured seven fours. Like his opening partner, Rahul, too, retired out shortly after reaching his half-century, at the end of the 35th over.Kohli, however, could not build on his slow start and was caught behind for a 40-ball 14 off left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, after adding 26 runs for the third wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara. Warrican struck again a few overs later when he bowled Ajinkya Rahane for 5.I think I bowled very well knowing that St Kitts [pitch] suits batting and India was off to a good start as well so to come and pull back [the scoring] and bowl economically and get two wickets was very important for the team, Warrican said after stumps. [I was] being patient and consistent, knowing that you couldnt blast out anyone on this wicket. So the key was to be patient and disciplined and just stick to the basics and thats what I did. It was just like any other game against an international team, the batting is always strong so my aim was just to bowl wicket to wicket and be consistent, allow them to make the mistakes and thats what I did.Pujara, the third Indian to retire out, made a patient 34 off 102 balls including five fours. Rohit, who came at No. 6, and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha then combined for a 47-run sixth-wicket stand off 97 balls that took the Indians past 200.After Saha was dismissed for 22, Rohit found able support from Amit Mishra, as they remained unbeaten on 54 and 18 respectively.

Sean Abbott does not want to see the laws of cricket changed to eradicate the use of bouncers because there will always be risks in the game, the inquest into the death of Phillip Hughes has heard.The third day of the inquest on Wednesday saw the release of Abbotts statement. It described the events of November 25, 2014 from his perspective as the unfortunate man to bowl the ball that tragically struck Hughes in the side of the neck, causing the arterial injury that led to his death in St Vincents Hospital two days later.Abbott has not been required to appear in the witness stand at the inquest, and in his statement he outlined how he does not wish to see the game irrevocably changed as a result of this most awful of events.I know there is a suggestion that the laws of the game be changed so that bouncers should not be bowled, Abbott wrote, but the same cricket ball will be hit and flying around whether bouncers are bowled or not. There will always be risks in the game.Nothing stands out to me as a change that should be made to cricket, except for maybe some more protective equipment and training on what to do if someone gets hit.Abbotts recollections of the moment Hughes was struck focused on how the batsman had been through his shot before the ball arrived. I think Phillip was a bit early through the shot, he wrote. If a batsman is early through the shot, it makes me think that the ball is slower than they had anticipated.I dont remember the ball being fast or slow. Maybe the wicket was a little bit slower that day. Thats the type of wicket at the SCG. After Phillip was struck, I saw him start to sway and I ran to the other end of the pitch and I held the right side of his head with my left hand.I remained on the field until after Phillip was placed on the medicab and then returned to the change room.Once in the change room I felt confused and upset, I had a headache, people kept coming up to me but I cannot remember what they said.It was all a bit of a blur and I felt like I was in a bit of a daze. I felt super tired. These feelings stayed with me for the next few days.Much of the inquest has probed the tactics emplloyed by NSW that day.dddddddddddd However Abbott echoed the words of his teammates Brad Haddin, Doug Bollinger and David Warner, plus Hughes batting partner Tom Cooper, that it had not been anything out of the usual for a Sheffield Shield match against a set batsman.I do not recall anything unusual about the day prior to the incident when Phillip was struck and I do not recall anything unusual about the bowling that day or in the lead-up to the incident, Abbott wrote. I do not recall any particular instructions being given to the NSW team at lunchtime on that day, or any discussion about a specific plan for the period after lunch, although there would have been a team chat.I cannot recall anything that suggested that either Phillip or Tom were uncomfortable before the incident and I cannot recall anything that indicated that any bowling tactics were making inroads on them. I felt the game that day was being played within the laws and spirit of cricket.Equally, Abbott had no recollection of any sledging between players beyond what he called competitive chat. I do not recall hearing or seeing any backchat or chatting with the batsmen and I personally dont recall talking to Phillip or Tom.I cannot say that backchat is common, however, it is common for bowlers to talk to batsmen in the sense of having a competitive chat. For example, bowlers can let batsmen know that there are no fielders in a particular area and that they should hit the ball there.However, I cannot recall any sledging that day, nor do I recall any complaints being made about sledging.Abbott wrote too of his admiration for Hughes as a cricketer. The pair had made their Twenty20 international debuts for Australia together in Dubai earlier in 2014. I always looked up to Phillip. He was a tough competitor, Abbott wrote. I always knew that I would have to work hard to get him out. I dont think I had ever got him out.Other statements, by Haddin, Warner and Cooper, were also released on Wednesday. The inquest continues until Friday. ' ' '
