The move from the zonal to the Plate-Elite format have generally made the matches more even contests than they used to be. It is no longer about long knocks on dead tracks to maximize the innings lead.
The last two years have been quite surprising. UP and Bengal, not very highly rated teams, made it to the finals last year. Railways defeated Punjab the year before. In the two finals in a row, in the preceding years Mumbai comprehensively defeated TN.
Last year TN was unlucky to have 3 of its matches drawn due to rain. They suffered losses against Maharashtra and Mumbai. But they drew with Delhi and managed to defeat Bengal (who actually went on to become finalists !).
This year TN started by drawing with (but conceding 1st innlead lead to) Delhi. Badrinath (who made a century there) has been appointed captain ahead of biggies in the team. The second match against Andhra is on its way in Chepauk with another knock from Badrinath. TN still misses Balaji and is trying out new 'keepers in place of Dinesh Kaarthik.
Let's dicuss the Ranji results and TN's chances in this thread.

its going to be mumbai again! they have bunch of talented new players
but the key player for tamil nadu is Badrinath..even vengasakar commented that he will be selected for the team very soon..
pity that sadagopan ramesh is failing!
its really to see ramesh as a judge for a comedy program 'kalaka povadhu yaaru' for vijay tv 
along with 'chinny' jayanth
i haven seen any debut player who played bravely the mighty akram's ball!! he is a very good opening batsman,he scores atleast 30+ every innings !! Negative is that lack of foot movement ...
In my opinion prepare a pitch like in Southafrica\West Indies\Australia for some matches and some like sub-continent pitches for this Ranji Trohpy...This is called 'developing' the players.I remember once Srikanth prepared pitch like non-subcontinent pitch alas! he was fired from the board!

Is Sharath still playing for T.N.? I don't know how he kept himself motivated all these years. One of my friends ( I don't want to use his name) left for U.S after he had enough of the system. BTW he represented T.N in two Ranji matches.

Sharath is going strong. He made a 50 even in the match concluded yesterday.

After pushing Andhra to a follow on they couldn't bowl them out Balaji is missed, dunno why he isn't playing. Is he still not fit ?
Jesuraj is good, he bowled well last season. If Balaji and Jesuraj operate together we'd have a pretty good seam combination.
The left-arm spinner Ramkumar is also missing. He bowled pretty well in the last two seasons.
Neither Delhi nor Andhra (the two teams TN has played till now) are among the hottest in the league. It is not a good sign that we have not managed to defeat them. Baroda and Karnataka have registered wins, so the pressure is on TN.

TN drew with Haryana lat match thanks to some pathetic batting display in the first innings.
But we seem to have a couple of new young spinners in the match but they partially limited the damage Haryana may have caused.
TN needs a win to get ahead and today's match against Saurashtra has started off well with Sharath scoring a century with fifties from Satish and Prasanna, who I think is making his Ranji debut. They are not playing Jesuraj this match. Still no sign of Balaji. So it remains a question if we can bowl them out. Except Sitanshu Kotak there are no big names in Sourashtra. Let's see.

Mumbai was sitting pretty in the semifinal against Baroda. Today Irfan Pathan and Rakesh Patel (arguably the best seamer-pair in he domesric circuit) rocked Mumbai. An unbelievable 5 wickets down for zero !!!!!! Then to 17/6. Thanks to the keeper Vinayak Samant's 50 Mumbai is now on 109/7. But with a psychological upper hand Baroda may still have a chance.

Zaheer nailed Bengal with a five for including Ganguly for a golden duck and the description looks pretty familiar
9.3 Khan to Ganguly, OUT, castled! first ball! Ganguly plays on and the middle stump is flattened! Zaheer pitches it on the corridor of uncertainty outside off stump, Ganguly fails to use his feet, plays away from his body and inside edges onto his stump
Mumbai's lead is already near 300 with over 8 wickets left at the end of Day2. They are going to win for the zillionth time.

Mumbai win Ranji Trophy
Mumbai beat Bengal by 132 runs to win the Ranji Trophy for the 37th time, at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, on Monday.
Chasing a daunting target of 472 for victory, Bengal were dismissed for 339 in their second innings shortly after tea on Day 4 of the five-day final, despite a gallant 90 from Sourav Ganguly and 94 by exciting young batsman Manoj Tiwary. Rohan Gavaskar also chipped in with a useful 46 but all that could not prevent Mumbai from regaining the title it last won two seasons ago.
Zaheer Khan was the pick of the Mumbai bowlers, claiming four wickets for 119 runs, including the prized scalp of Ganguly, as Bengal folded up in 92.2 overs. The left-arm pacer had picked five wickets in the first innings.
Ajit Agarkar and Wilkin Mota grabbed two wickets apiece.

Congrats to Mumbai, the best domestic team by miles. Mumbai started the season shakily but have ended it in style. Bengal played well the whole season but were just unequal to Mumbai in the final.They should have played this well in the first inns. Zaheer has got Ganguly yet again. Zak's back, best bowler in India today. Hope he delivers the goods in the WC.

Vijay,Badri, Abhinav Mukund, Dinesh Karthik and Vidyut !
I hear they are showing it on Neo Sports.
They are most probably going to concede first innings lead, which is decisive.
It will be a real pity if this TN team gets knocked out now. They had the best shot in the last few years.
Hope Balaji and Palani Amarnath do some magic in the second innings.

Not actually. This is the 4th or 5th season
Till about 5 years or so the format was zonewise pools and top two making it to the next stage.
TN would be defeated by Karnataka, would struggle with Hyderabad and Andhra, defeat Kerala and steamroll Goa. Not many surprises. Same in other zones.West Bengal for instance had a near free ticket to the next stage.
The reform - spearheaded by Gavaskar if I remember right - made a pretty good change. They split all teams into two league: Elite and Plate. Each league had two pools.
The top 3 from each of the pools in Elite made it to the QF. Topper of each pool in the Plate also makes it to the QFs.
These two plate toppers get promoted to the Elite the next year. The bottom guys in the two Elite pools are demoted to the Plate.

In Ranji Trophy, first innings lead will be taken into account if the match doesn't get over in 4 days. As far as I know, the team which scores more in the first innings will get more points in Ranji Trophy. This even applies to Ranji final. But it seems that this match is a result oriented. Already Bengal lost 4 wkts for 98 runs on the board. Originally Posted by directhit

The most memorable Ranji Trophy match in my life is Haryana (One man army Kapil) Vs Bombay (Superstar studded team with Players like Vengsarkar, Tendulkar, Sanjay Manjrekar, Vinod Kambli, Chandrakant Pandit) during 1990-91 at Wankhede Stadium, Bombay. One man army Kapil's team tasted sweet victory by stunning Bombay by 2 runs at their own backyard. Kapil's team had bits and pieces cricketers like Ajay Jadeja, Chetan Sharma, Ranji prolific scorer Amarjeet Kaypee and the Spinner Yoginder Bhandari. Bombay too had their prolific scorers like Rajput, Hattangadi, bowlers like Raju Kulkarni, Abey Kuruvilla and Salil Ankola besides superstars. Still lost the match. I think Kapil had just played around 25 Ranji matches only. Kapil proved that he can be a great captain KAPIL DEVIL even with bits and pieces cricketers.....
Undoubtedly isi duniya me KAPIL DEV da jawab nahin.....
Heart breaking, path breaking moments gone with KAPIL DEV in Indian cricket. After that no extraordinary odysseys in Indian cricket. Every time when he came to bowl or bat, audiences' blood pressure shoot up. When he came to the crease to bowl or bat, the whole ground clapped, whistled and crowds created more noise. Till date no player ever received such an applause from spectators in my memory except Viv Richards.
Nowadays very few times, cricket is just entertaining but it never touches my heart.

But now things are in the QF stage. So the first innings lead guy will make get through to SF in case of a draw. Monday is day 4 and it will be crucial. WB already has a lead of 172.
Laxmi Ratan Shukla is settled in. Arindam Das is yet to come. We should get these guys out surely before lunch. If not the whole team.

The smiling assassin is back
He has come back with a new action, where he sort of tiptoes for the first few steps - almost as if unsure of the ground he is going to run on, before easing in. This is something he used to do when he was younger. "I recollected my old action and all that stuff," he says. "I had remodelled it a little bit. I have to be much straighter."

Sreesanth and RP can also come good in NZ, but Balaji's gentle medium pace may be an advantage in slow pitches :P

Balaji will be effective when he uses the seam and there is some movement in the air, like what happened yesterday when the 1st hour was a bit cold. But in slow and sunny conditions his bowling may be taken to the task. He has to take advantage of his height and use his shoulder more. In NZ and Eng definitely he will be effective like Roger Binny. For Irfan, his only advantage is he can claim himself as an allrounder.

Pujara’s form a worry for Mumbai
Gaurav Gupta | TNN
Mumbai: Mumbai have sizzled this season, scoring six thumping victories in eight games enroute to the Ranji Trophy semis. The 37-time domestic champs have been further boosted by the return of Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan for the last four game at Chennai against Saurashtra.
With most players in good form, the only issue, one would think, should be whom to leave out of the XI at the cost of the India stars. There is another significant headache though in the form of Cheteshwar Pujara. The Saurashtra batsman has had a dream season so far, scoring 867 runs in eight games at a Bradmanesque average of 86.70. Off the four hundreds Pujara has scored, one of them came against Mumbai. The run machine smashed an unbeaten 176 off just 173 balls
as Saurashtra scored a massive 643 for four.
“Pujara’s form is a concern for us,’’ Mumbai skipper Wasim Jaffer said. Are there chinks in Pujara’s armour which Mumbai can exploit? Jaffer, who is also the prolific batsman’s teammate and skipper at IOC, doesn’t think so. “There aren’t many weaknesses in his game,’’ he says, of the 20-year-old. Coach Pravin Amre says, “We will have a team meeting in Chennai. There are some players in our side who have played with and against him since the under-19 level. We will take their inputs also.’’

Cricinfo obsessed with the Mumbai match.
They are not updating the scores of the TN match live.
270 run 4th wicket partnership. It took Balaji to break it.
padupAvi Shukla camp adichchu ukkAndhirukkAn.
Piyush Chawla yet to bat. They need less than 100 runs to take first innings lead and they have 6 wickets in hand and the match is a certain draw match.
Not sure what the rules are at this stage.
TN had defeated UP by an innings in the league stage. Hope that is what counts and not stupid first innings lead.

And UP have done it. UP to face Mumbai in Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy final. What an sensational marathon effort from Shivakant Shukla. Praveen Gupta hit a boundary off Bala to trigger off celebrations and the entire UP team has invaded the field. Spirited effort from TN, mainly from Bala, the one-man army. Match has been called off. What a day for Shukla. He was under severe pressure early this season to hold his spot after his failings last year but they gave him a chance because of his experience and he has come through. And how. Fab stuff.

Not in 42? Should I retire? Asks Kaif
Batsman Tries To Find The Answers For Not Being Included For Irani, Challenger
Saibal Bose | TNN
Kolkata: Mohammed Kaif fails to fathom why he has been ignored by the selectors yet again.
No wonder his first reaction oozed frustration. “If I can’t make it to a list of 42, then should I retire?” he asked after missing out on a place in the three squads for the Challenger Series. The squads, along with the Rest Of India side which will play against Mumbai in the Irani Cup, were named in Chennai on Wednesday.
The fighter in Kaif surfaced soon as he made it clear that he has no intention of retiring just yet. At the age of 28, he knows that he still has a lot of ‘fight’ left in him. “Put me up against a
junior player and I am sure I will show that I am much fitter than him,” he said.
Having scored 812 runs in first-class cricket last season, the former India star has reasons to feel disappointed. “I wish I knew what more I have to do to be given a chance to prove myself,” Kaif said. “I had a fairly good outing in the Corporate Trophy too. I am batting and fielding well. I had expected to be included in one of the Challenger squads.”
Performances in this tournament, in which India’s best are on display, are closely watched by the selectors. An appearance in the Challenger Series would have helped Kaif in his bid to make a comeback to the Indian squad. “I still feel I can work my way back, if I am given an opportunity,” he added.
Speculation was rife in some quarters that the Uttar Pradesh player would be named skipper of one of the three teams.
Earlier this year, Kaif was sent from South Africa by Team Jaipur even before the second edition of the Indian Premier League had started.
“I really don’t know why I am being left out everytime,” the middle-order batsman wondered. Team Jaipur missed a solid middle-order batsman in South Africa, which eventually proved costly for the champions of IPL-1. Kaif was, however, included in the Jaipur squad which toured England later for a one-off match against English champions Middlesex.

Final Warning to Sreesanth
S Sreesanth has been given a "final warning" by the BCCI to mend his on-the-field behaviour, failing which he will be suspended from domestic matches.
A BCCI missive, dated 5 October, was sent to the Kerala Cricket Association secretary, Mr T C Mathews, to be handed to the player.
The BCCI has warned Sreesanth against repeating the sort of misbehaviour he showed during an Irani Trophy match against Mumbai in Nagpur.
"You are hereby given a final warning to ensure that you do not violate the BCCI code of conduct. Any repetition of such behaviour will be dealt with severely by the BCCI, suspension from domestic cricket matches included. As an international cricketer, you have to set a good example for youngsters who watch and follow the game. We have to bring to your kind notice that, repeatedly, you have been violating the BCCI code of conduct and your behaviour on the field of play is against the spirit of the game of cricket," it added.

I agree there is a line not to be crossed - but even if Sreesanth gets better, I'd expect that he'll have minor incidents like the Kulkarni incident. Just because of his past history, we shouldnt make his crimes cumulative and address at that level. He is a better bowler than RP, Irfan etc - with some good handling by the captain and BCCI, he can be a great prospect for India.

ICC is very clever - they choose really harmless creatures from India/Pak/Sl as match referee. I'd really like to see someone like Ranatunga or Miandad as match referees. Chris Broad asia players-ai target pandrA maadhiri, Aus/SA/Eng/NZ players-ai Oda oda verattuvainga. But ICC is too clever - they have appointed Srinath, Madugalle, Mahanama as match referees. BCCI naara payaluga idhai eillAm gavanikka maattainga.

As I said before, even if Durbhajan was cleaner than extracted milk, I'd have preferred Sachin to implicate him in the monkey incident. The incident anyway was eerily similar to "aswattama ajatha kunjaraha"(correctA?) for Sachin.

Indian cricket TV deal down by Rs 800cr
Nimbus Bags Telecast Rights For Another Four Years
K Shriniwas Rao | TNN
Mumbai: In the post IPL environment, BCCI’s revenue from other international cricket played in India is set to dip. Nimbus, which has again bagged the broadcast rights for cricket to be played in India over the next four years starting April 2010, is set to pay BCCI at least $187m (Rs 800 crore) less than what it paid for the current deal. Nimbus had bought the rights in 2005 for a whopping $612m (Rs 2,800 crore), but will pay $425m (around Rs 2,000 crore) this time around.
Nimbus was given the first right of refusal according to the contract signed with BCCI in 2005 and hence the renewed deal. By awarding the contract to Nimbus, the board has thus ensured that other players in the market, like ESPN-Star and Sony, are not in contention.
The contract covers all domestic and international cricket matches in India except IPL and the 2011 World Cup. The BCCI officials wouldn’t comment on the renewed deal while Nimbus head Harish Thawani said, “It is premature and speculative to comment (on the intricacies of the deal) as of now.”
It is learned that the BCCI has set a deadline of January 15, 2010 for Nimbus to pay around one-third of the total sum as guarantee money (Rs 600 crore) to seal the deal. According to the new deal, it is learnt, Nimbus will have to pay BCCI Rs 31.5 crore for every international match (Test or ODI) to be played in India between 2010 to 2014.
Between 2005 and 2009, there were close to 16 Test matches and 52 ODIs which Nimbus could broadcast and until 2012 (after which a new Future Tours Program of the ICC comes in place) there are another seven Tests and 21 ODIs in the queue.
The renewed contract will also allow Nimbus exclusive rights over Indian domestic tournaments including the Ranji, Duleep and Deodhar trophies, Challenger Series, the Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 Cup and the Corporate Trophy.
BCCI, along with Nimbus, had tried to spice up the Indian domestic circuit a bit by introducing coloured clothing, daynight matches and live coverage to improve spectator interest, which had reached an all-time low.
However, in the last four years, tournaments like the Ranji and Duleep were still to find many takers. This, in turn, led to poor TRPs which affected Nimbus.
Against this backdrop, it is indeed surprising that the board has opted for Nimbus again. Lalit Modi, BCCI vice-president, wasn’t present at Tuesday’s all-important marketing committee meeting held in Mumbai.
DOWN TO EARTH
Nimbus’ new deal with BCCI for international matches: $425m (around Rs 2,000 crore). What Nimbus pays to BCCI per international match in new deal: Rs 31.5 crore What Nimbus paid for earlier deal (in 2005): $612m (around Rs 2,800 crore) What Nimbus paid to BCCI per match: Rs 52 crore (approx) The tournaments Nimbus gets to broadcast: All domestic tournaments in India excluding IPL; all international matches in India but not ICC events like the 2011 World Cup

RANJI TROPHY RAILWAYS VS TAMIL NADU
First day, first show
BANGAR TON SPOILS TN’S DAY
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: Railways skipper Murali Kartik was taken aback by the manner in which long-time colleague Sanjay Bangar began his innings against Tamil Nadu at the Karnail Singh Stadium on Tuesday.
Bangar (batting on 111) was a far cry from his usual wait-andwatch approach, getting off the blocks quickly, tonking the ball around and sometimes even manufacturing shots. Subsequently, though, he calmed down to guide Railways into a comfortable 242/4 at stumps on the first day of their Super League game. It was Bangar’s 10th Ranji century.
“It surprised me to see him (Bangar) start off in such an aggressive manner. Usually he takes his time at the crease. Today, he played his shots, then took time and then played his shots again toward the end,’’ said Kartik.
Bangar struck an 80-run partnership with opener Faiz Faizal (70) before Railways lost some quick wickets to swing the match briefly in TN’s favour.
“Some wickets were thrown away unnecessarily but traditionally this has not been an easy wicket to bat on. But if someone told me that we would achieve this total at the end of the first day then I would’ve happily taken it,’’ stated Kartik.
Tamil Nadu were sloppy on the field, especially skipper Dinesh Karthik behind the stumps. Karthik fluffed a catch and a stumping chance, giving two lives to Yere Goud. But it seemed Goud and Karthik were having a similar kind of day. Goud grinded to 14 off 100 balls before going back to the pavilion.
In another ranji match (Mumbai Vs Punjab), Zaheer took 3 wkts. welcome back Zaheer!

275/5, P_R
From 16-2 and 61-3, Parthiban 130*.
As I said, TN's bowling attack is looking very pedestrian. Yo Mahesh enna AnAn? Ashwin - carrom ball and all - seems like Margasahayam Venkatramana redux. Karunchiruthai is a goner. Jesurajku avLO buildup koduthOm, he hasnt done anything so far.
I am not very impressed with Suresh. Idhukku munnAdi S Sureshkumar-nu oruthan irundhAn, appuram S Suresh-nu oruthan captain-AvE irundhAn. Is it mandatory to have *S.Suresh in the team? And is it somehow destined that all of them will be anodyne allrounders a la ajit agarkar?

I will say this exactly once and no one should quote me on this: Parthiv played beautifully. Very fluid strokemaking, placement and timing. He looks absolutely solid.
To call TN's bowling pedestrian is to put it politely. Ashwin ellAm waste. Dropped a regulation return catch too.

The new kid Aushik Srinivas is good. The one that got Bhavin Thakkar - thus breaking the long partneship was a good ball. The one that bowled the lefthander who got in after that was a beauty.

As I said earlier , karunchiruthai has to be retired to the age now. Carrom Ball Ashwin can go back to playing carrom board at home.
The bowling is pedestrian. Ganapathy is the best and that says a lot.

Arun Karthik seems good. There seems to be a surfeit of openers for TN. Middle order is also good - but why do S Suresh-es keep getting into the team is a mystery - it is the bowling that has gone to dogs.

M.Vijay 91* and Badri at the crease
Commentator said, in general TN openers (top order in general) were more aggressive than others - and automatically attributed it to emulating Srikanth.
yOsichu pArthA, it does seem so.
VB.Chandrashekar, TE Srinivasan, WV Raman, S Ramesh (the international version was a on-valium) - all of them played shots early in the innings than 'seeing the new ball off'.

Agarkar scored a century 4 mumbai.
read this comment in rediff abt agarkar,
1. He is the fastet 250 wickets taker for India untill now.
2. A "better of the best in all current bowlers" fielder in India.
3. A more than enough handy batsman down the order.
4. Always it come about his high eco rate, then go and check other's stats and see how better they are from Agarkar,
Munaf and Nehra has 4.9 or a little more than that, Ishant, RP and Sreesanth over 5.2, Khan too has a eco rate of 4.9 and Praveen is near 5 compare to Agarkar’s 5.1.
5. He has a better strike rate than all may be Zaheer khan or Nehra can be little close to him.

From: Plum on 20th November 2009 08:59 AM [Full View]
Well, guys, hate to break this but Agarkar's bowling is flattered too much by his figures.
A majority of his wickets in odis were due to reckless batsmen going after him trying to cash in on his inept bowling. Was never a test prospect. Even venky prasad had more stuff.
Check out how many of his wickets were induced by him and how many were unforced errors. He is the indian dilhara fernando.
As for his batting, the 7 consecutive ducks say it all. All his batting efforts came against lowly teams, save for the 100 in lord's. There is an ad for eggs starring sachin, agarkar etc. Eggs make you strong is the theme. Idhula sachin irukkaadhu sari why agarkar for this ad-nu friend kitta ketten. Avan sonnaann andha muttai ellame agarkar pottadhu dhaan adhanaalanu sonnaan
Idhu dhaan his batting latchanam.
He was the durby of his times - fake allrounder remaining in the team on one good perfomance in 2 years.

-
From: Plum on 20th November 2009 10:42 AM [Full View]
Fielding no doubt he is better.
If you compare with praveen, that is also ok. But munaf is a better bowler with poor attitude. Talent wise he is way ahead of agakarar.
Ishant is in a different planet. He is going through a confused period where people ae advising him to be a medium pacer while he wants to be a fast bowler. If handled well, he is a great prospect.
Sreeanth is a fine talent.
-
From: Plum on 20th November 2009 10:45 AM [Full View]
Like it o not, a majority of agaka's wickets came when batsmen slogged at him after 2 boundaries in the same over. I have watched cricket closely thoughout his career.
He'll make a 70 against zim and commentator ravi shastri will go "he is a allounder"
Then failure against australia. Ravi goes "who claimed he is all ounder. He is a bowler who can bat." Etc.

Vinod, innum mcgrath comparison veraya?
No, he is not betteer than the current crop. Ishant ans sree ae fine prospects with great talent. Munaf is good, too. These days run scoring has inflated so you can't compare economy rates.
Agarka's test avg is 47 - that tells it all. Even chris harris has lots of odi wickets at lesser economy rate than agakar.
I'll tell you something - wasim akram's record at the end of the same number of matches as agarkar's final tally of matches is inferior to agarkar
What does this mean? By then, akram had won a world cup for pakistan. But agarkar has more wickets at lesser economy rate. Who would you rather have in your team? That's why statistics should be seen in the right way - some stats reveal the true picture , some don't.In the famous words of sidhu(who borrowed it from elsewhere
"Statistics are like miniskirts. They conceal more than they reveal"

Sachin is an extreme talent maddy. And he speaks and prioitises hindi. Avar hindi pesalainaalum yaarum thaduthiukka mudiyaadhu adhu vera vishayam.
What about lesser talent? Praveens and munafs getting multiple chances over sreesanth?
Anyway, with dhoni it is not a language based ideology - more of his friends get more chances. He'll ditch them when they get extremely bad like jogi but they get maximum chances over ojhas and sreesanths and badris - rudderless pratap singhs and durbhajans get that extra opportunity.
If dinesh karthik is captain, then a vijay might get this advantage over pujara.that is very human. But if that happens, then it is okay considering hindiwallahs have enjoyed that advantage for several years now.

P_R, and that is exactly why I dont have much hopes for TN in knock-out. This happened last year also - one partnership or one batsman manages to defy them for a match winning effort or as in this case, a significant effort. This beign Orissa, they folded. Iam thinking of last year's Semis, where a Salabh Srivastava or someone like that ( a converted batsman) single handedly defied TN and took the first innings lead for UP.
To be honest, this is not new. I dont remember exact instances, but this seems to be a recurring event from my memory of TN Ranji history in the last 20 years.

From: Kalyasi on 9th December 2009 12:22 PM [Full View]
Badrinath century shores up Tamil Nadu
S Badrinath cracked a belligerent century to snatch the reins out of Mumbai's hands and put Tamil Nadu back in the saddle at the Bandra-Kurla complex. Earlier in the morning incisive seam bowling from the new-ball pair of Usman Malvi and Dhawal Kulkarni reduced the visitors to 50 for 5. But Badrinath stood strong and found an equally sturdy partner in C Ganpathy and the duo raised an unbeaten 201-run stand for the sixth wicket.
In a way the stage was set for Badrinath, one of the most resilient minds on the first-class circuit in addition to being a consistent batsman in domestic cricket over the last five years. Over the last two years he has been on the fringes of the Indian team, picked in the national squad for various series. Time spent with illustrious company has definitely made him that much more resolute and today he brought that mental fortitude to the fore.
Badrinath had already seen his team-mates restless during their brief stints at the crease. They were constantly troubled by both Malvi and Kulkarni, who were accurate with their lengths and made optimum use of the moisture in the track by hitting the seam to get sharp movement. Abhinav Mukund, beaten by both pace and movement, tried to go for an unconvincing cut against a rising ball from Kulkarni; the resulting edge went to the wicketkeeper.
M Vijay, standing in as captain for Dinesh Karthik, who is with the Indian team to play the Twenty20s against Sri Lanka, started off with couple of fluent boundaries. The first one was a clip to the leg side off Kulkarni in his first over and then a forward punch that rolled past the straight boundary. He had come into the game after playing an important role with his 82 in the Mumbai Test against Sri Lanka. But a consistent length by the Mumbai fast men tied Vijay down and Kulkarni eventually induced an edge off a delivery that was seaming away.
The visitors lost the next three wickets in quick succession. Malvi found himself on a hat-trick in the 16th over having got rid of Anirudh Srikkanth and Suresh Kumar. But Ganpathy firmly defended the good length delivery to deny Malvi a memorable return into the team. Tall and broad shouldered, Malvi is well-known for his aggressive style of bowling, but the team management had preferred the likes of Kulkarni and Aavishkar Salvi in the previous games.
Malvi was getting a game after Ajit Agarkar pulled out due to a groin injury. In the past Malvi had flattered to deceive by resorting to the short ball frequently in unhelpful conditions, allowing batsmen to settle down. A similar thing happened later in the afternoon as Badrinath frustrated Malvi by ducking his bouncers and sometimes pulling when he was in the right position.
But it wasn't just the fast bowling that Badrinath was comfortable facing. He is 29 now, one the oldest players in the team, and he used his feet freely against the spin combination of Ramesh Powar and Iqbal Abdulla, punishing them whenever they challenged him with flighted deliveries. In the space of a few overs on either side of the lunch break, he stepped out to hit both spinners for three sixes over the straight boundary.
Badrinath was taking risks but they were calculated. He understood that he had to remain the last man standing for Tamil Nadu to avoid being on the receiving end of a relatively flat pitch. So he and Ganpathy rotated strike without attempting any big strokes in the whole of the second session even as the scoring-rate dropped. But importantly the pair had succeeded in doing damage control after the morning's wreckage.
But Badrinath did not shy from jumping from 95 to his second century of the season by once again charging Powar and hitting over the sight screen. Immediately he took off his cap and doffed it to his team-mates in the dressing room. The manner in which he played so far was a good example for many of the Tamil Nadu youngsters. Badrinath too has been a keen learner all his career. Till IPL arrived he believed more in being defensive. Today he is more free in his strokeplay.

hmm enna adithu enna payan. Yuvarasu periya p**ungi-nu pEru vAngittAnE. Just a few months back, he was all at sea in NZ. If tests are played frequently, he would have been out of the squad. But with limited overs intervening, everyone has forgotten that rasu is a showpony and guaranteed to fail in difficult circumstances. Besides, a team that has Viru, Gauti, Sachin, Lax and MSD doesnt need another strokeplayer. We need to groom a grafter, and Badri is ideal. Unfortunately, people just go by glamour.
(udanE, Yuvraj scored 50 at 32/4-nu solluvAngO. Dont seee the results, see technique and temparament - rasu has been given enough chances and he has failed every test of his technique and temparament.)

Yuvraj simply doesnt give any confidence.
And Virumandi is a class apart from Yuvraj - you cant simply deride Viru as power and kaattadi. Some of his shots are breathtaking and even *beautiful* if you have a eye for that sort of beauty.

Yuvraj has the added advantage of left hander's elegance .......his ability to generate timing on insipid of insipid pitches is legendary........Yuvraj is the product of ODI Generation but fails miserably in tests.....but his failure in tests doesent dilute his class, quality, timing, balance that he displays in ODIs/T20s.........Yuvraj is more refined and selective in treating the bowling which is the hallmark of great players.......but again, just by this hallmark, he doesent become a great batsman but definitely leagues ahead of Najafgarh dude

Maddy, Yuvraj is more refined etc is a fact. But he really cant graft - not that that is a requirement for beauty - but that clearly means he is a waste of place as a test batsman. We need guys who can help us achieve the unachieved in SA and Aus - I would rather bet on the likes of Pujara, M Vijay, even Rohit(despite his flaky temparament) and Badri(despite his age).
If you look at Yuvi's recent history - he was smashing good against Pak in India(comfy conditions, Pak being Pak were blowing hot and cold) - within a month or so, we went to Australia and Yuvi basically laid eggs. Point being despite being in smashing form, he couldnt cut it in Oz, thereby costing us a series - I still believe if Viru had been in a test earleir, the result would have been different - instead, we had Jaffer and Yuvi eating up important places and laying eggs.
So, smashing formla irukkarachEye he couldnt succeed shows his temparament in alien conditions. He doesnt have the stomach to fight it out - contrast this with Viru's patient 151. When he wants to stay, Viru simply stays. Even otherwise, he scores a quick fire 40+. There is a Pacific Ocean between Yuvi and Sehwag as Test Batsmen.
Same thing happened in NZ tour with Yuvi.
My point is instead of giving him home opportunities where he is bound to succeed(and then screw up in NZ and Aus and SA), why dont we simply ignore him as a non-prospect and try to groom someone else.Selection is about a vision for future - and I dont see Yuvi as an integral part of the future of a succesful Indian test team.)
As a ODI player, infact, Yuvraj is streets ahead of Virumandi. This is partly due to Viru not being able to admittedly handle the Overs-Runs pressure, and inability to pace a chase, and not having an third gear. In Test Cricket, Viru seems to have a first gear and then direct to fifth. In ODIs, he seems to bring the fifth directly, and the first gear being of no use in ODIs, he seems to suffer from not having that in-between gear for the middle overs.

Leagues ahead in what Maddy? Beauty? That I certainly agree with.

*i dunno if bala, Nerd are still in "yuvi>viru" league
Its like this for me:
Sehwag is a freak of nature. As someone said he is a genre by himself. I am not able to digest the fact that even with such atrocious technique and temperament he has been so prolific. And someone like Sehwag who knows only to bat one way - hit out or get out - is a sure magnet for disaster in test cricket or so it would seem. Sachin can take up any role - aggressor, rotator, kattai mannan etc... Sehwag can only play a single role. Aana ippo enna aagitrukku?!
The man's interviews are even better. Its difficult not to like someone who speaks like that
My trouble is, it doesn't seem 'fair'. A kind of dissonance that i'd better come out of.
In the eye-pleasing department, Yuvi > Sehwag for me any day but the important thing is he has succeeded more often than not and how!
I would like to ask questions like How has he done against MvGrath and the likes, in pitches that are alive (not all pitches in OZ/SA are bowler friendly), how does he do in seaming conditions but i'm afraid he has already answered some of those. So, that line of denial also goes kaput (i'd still like to see him face quality bowling in competitive pitches).
As Plum said, its because of the unabashed 'comparison' with Sachin that puts me off.
Oru kustamappa!
P.S: When was the last time anybody remember seeing a straight drive down the ground from Sehwag?

Bala, in the recent 293, there were some balls fetched outside the offstump and driven past midwicket a la Laxman. I was astounded. There is more to Viru than we can even imagine!

Compare paNNavE kUdadhu. Virumandi should be accepted for what he is - then you can enjoy the joy ride.
For the second point, enna solradhu. That is his USP. Defying conventions.
For all the brouhaha about lack of technique, I remember Senile pointing out that he had his own rudimentary technique - Senile saying that adds some authenticity to it since senile there was ackonwledging something not 'natural' to him - heads still, no footwork, but always behind the line of the ball, rather than beside . I think that is why he can defend succesfulyl when he wants to, like in the first hour of that 293 or throughout that 151. Unlike the Yuvrajs whose technical shortcomings are far more fatal.
In short, the only problem with Virumandi's technique is that it is not conventional while the Raasukuttys have a far more fundamental technique issue.
(This statement I guess holds irrespective of the cricket connection!)

ellOrumnA? There are obvious honourable exceptions? Even SCG has his moments in this. If you are talking of GenNext, yes, I agree. Unless one or both of Che Pujara and Badri are drafted in and are groomed as mainstays of the middle order. Badri is possibly the best player of spin among the post-Fab 5 generation along with Gauti.

I think its the other way round. He is open because he is besides the line of the ball almost always. Thats why he cuts and slashes a lot. Most of his runs come (usually lofted) through the extra-cover/thirdman arch. Originally Posted by Plum
IOW, offside la where his front foot ought to be to the pitch of the ball, he moves it outside the line to make room for the heave. Leg side la aadumbodhu (usually), he closes himself (body positioned towards offside).

2003 tour of New Zealand. IIRC Sehwag was the only one who got a one day century. Our batting collapsed completely and we lost the series - but Srinath and Zaheer came good and went on to shine in the World Cup.
Sehwag is not an Afridi. He is a lot more.

What I actually miss is Sehwag, the bowler. There is a brain ticking behind that 'village jatman' exterior and nowhere was it more obvious than in his bowling. Very crafty. These days, he is rarely bowled, and even when he does, the passion and craft of the old is missing

Bheem Kumar from Mumbai, who asks: Do you think Virender Sehwag is the most dangerous batsman in the game today? He is talking purely in terms of the dominating impact Sehwag has on the team and his ability to take the game away in a few hours. Would you call him a modern-day great?
Geoff Boycott: Good question. I know it is fun to watch him. I am not sure it is modern; it is more old-fashioned. If you read the history of the game, Wally Hammond made 336 at more than a run a minute for England against New Zealand in Auckland in the 1932-33 series. It took him just 318 minutes to get 336. That is very much like the way Sehwag plays.
Then you take the great Sir Donald Bradman, the genius batsman. He scored 300 and more, six times - not all in Tests. In Tests alone, at Headingley he made 304 in 1934, in a bit over six hours. In 1930, when he was about 21, he made 334 in six hours and 20 minutes. They were good batting pitches, like the one Sehwag bats on.
Now when the pitches are good for batting, Sehwag plays like the old-fashioned players. For people like myself, who grew up on uncovered pitches, it will be very difficult to bat like that.
He is a rare, special player. When the pitch is good he can take the game away from the opposition because he plays with a flowing bat and an uninhibited style. He has an uncluttered mind, which I like. I don't think he gets cluttered up with technique and foot work and he just plays in a wonderful, instinctive way, which is good.
I think on good batting pitches he is a modern-day great because he can take the game very quickly away from you. If it moves around, like it does in England and New Zealand, then I don't see him getting 300 so easily, but on certain pitches he is a fantastic player.

We'll get 3 points for First Innings Lead. 1 for Mumbai.
The points system is
1. 3 Points for taking 1st Innings lead, if the match is drawn
2. 1 Point for conceding 1st Innings lead, if the match is drawn
3. 5 points for a win. 0 for a loss
4. 6 points for an innings win( I think)
5. If you concede 1st innings lead, but win the match, you get 5 points and the opponents get 0.
6. Not sure what happens if the first innings of team 2 is not completed, and Team 2 hasnt taken the lead at the end of the match. Think 1 point each
7. 1 point each for abandoned match

TN has 23 points, and will win the group. They are through.
Mumbai has 16, and it would be interesting to know what happens from here because Punjab also has 16. It's Mumbai vs Gujarat and Railways vs Punjab in the next round. Railways have 13. Gujarat have 9.
So, one of Mumbai, Punjab and Railways will qualify for the knockout stage. Railways is led by Murali Kartik so...I predict that they'll lose out and one of Mumbai/Punjab will qualify.

Which means Mumbai are all but through mathematically because Railways and Punjab are squaring off against each other.
Unless Mumbai lose to Gujarat, and Railways take first innings lead against Punjab with a huge score differential, and the match is drawn - Mumbai are through unless this happens.

I recommend losing this match. TN are group toppers even if they lose this match.

BTW, Rayudu finally shows some output on his promise. He is a lost talent.
(BTW, I am glad to see that Shivlal Yadav's son is finally out of the team? Yadav was a blight on Hyderabad cricket with their nepotism, and dictatorial ways in HCA, one of the consequenes of which was Rayudu fading away in disputes with the Yadav clan)

278/4. AB Karthik on 70 odd.
Typical TN knockout performance - the fact that everyone scored a 50 almost indicates a batting pitch. So, it is typical of a TN team to have the individual batsmen throw it away after scoring 50 and end up with a below-par score for a pitch like this. Badri chose this match to fail. Bleddy.
Looking at the score, and looking at Ganaps and Ashwin to follow, the typical comment will be "we have two centurions to follow, so cool, we'll score 500". Instead, what will happen is a quick collapse and Delhi will comfortably(Or otherwise) overtake TN's first innings score.
Still, Mumbai getting Haryana and UP getting Assam while TN, for all the table topping, getting Delhi is blatantly unfair. I hear that the rule saying last year's finalists will face the PLATE group qulaifiers in the QF's wasnt there - it was created only before the QF Draw - which clearly indicates a decision to favour Mumbai. I dont remember this rule being there last year.
If so, what a blatant misuse of power by whoever responsible for this. What is N Srinivasan doing? Cutting deals with Modi?
Shameful - all these guys are focussing on IPL and money rather than glory for India and TN(or their respective states).

Maddy, fair enough but nyaayamnu onnu irukkulla. I hope Delhi puts it across mumbai now. The scheming seniles need a kick in the backside. Hope viru, gauti and virat kohli(just checked his domestic record - looks good. Reconsider pannanum ) play the semis.
Vijay, badri, mukund all lose out now on crucial opportunities to impress selectors in big domestic matches.
But then this has been the tn story for the past 20 years. There is something in the team environment which fosters a sort of complacency
One interesting thing is tn usually loses out on first innings lead - the key reason being top order doesn't cash in on fav batting circumstances - this is not the first time. This was really badri's last chance. I am beginning to doubt vijay as well now - because a key requirement these days is to cash in heavily on easy pitches which will protect you against failure in the odd difficult pitch/opponent. Inability to do this is a strong argument against picking such players. Maybe that is what sets apart the virat kohlis. I should ethink my backing of certain players.
Going to back the virat kohlis from now on

1) This is a stupid way to decide the winner
2) Why 4 days ? Is this an admission that you cannot prepare a pitch that lasts 5 days ?
3) Pitch. Didn't watch a ball yet I will comment. If Kotla is bad because bounce is uneven why not this where 'result' is not possible in 4 days. What would have happened had this match been played at the Kotla ??
4) This is a stupid way to decide the winner
-
From: Plum on 28th December 2009 12:44 PM [Full View]
1) & (2) Ofcourse, it is stupid. TN actually came back in the second innings and won a match this year. So, it is all the more galling. But then, this match would have been drawn even in 5 days.
So, within the existing rules, TN have consistently proved naive and incapable - if you remember, this is the same way we went out last year. And the year before, probably, and before and before. Something is missing. WV Raman was saying "If a team chases down 463, then they deserve it". I think there is a clue somewhere there to why TN loses this way regularly.
3) Well, a pitch in which the first innings scores are 463 and 490/8 cannot be called poor straightaway. Chances were missed, too. And this is not an unusual pitch in Indian conditions. While we might argue for a change in mindset w.r.t pitch preparation, this pitch doesnt need a kotla-level attention. Both sides get the same pitch - and it is a batting pitch - TN, with the better set of batsmen should have aced it, and they didnt. This is an indictment of the mental aspect of TN's Cricket history. If they are not going to make it in batsmen-friendly pitches, which is their strength, what will TN do in bowler-friendly pitches with their ordinary bowling line-up?
Ofcourse, your point is different and in a bigger context but right now, I am just focussing on this match
4) Atleast, it is consistently used. The rule to decide QF draw this year was made on the fly and is far more abominable and questionable. If Mumbai dont make it to finals this year, and top next year's group, then expect a rule change in favour of group winners facing plate champions. Ridiculous.

Naive as it may sound - I am willing to take the QF draw decision at face value and wouldn't read too much into conspiracy theories (Plum: nee innum koyindhayA irukke)
Plum, point taken that we should have aced it with better batsmen. Why is this rule not being questioned. WV Ramar's statement smacks of inertia - refusal to make noise etc. So this will happen next year too.
We - for whatever its worth- should atleast discuss alternative evaluation systems.

Short of a timeless Knockout match, I cant think of a perfect alternative. A further super-six or super-eight? But then that would mean adding 25 to 49 matches to the calendar, which is impractical. Also, a knockout after that would be even more farcicial.
Perhaps a Football style year long league with home and away - every team faces every other team - and the League topper wins the championshi. Perhaps, that is the best solution. Isnt that how the PURA CUP/SHEFFIELD SHIELD/English County etc are decided?
-
From: Plum on 28th December 2009 01:57 PM [Full View]
Ironically, such a league would affect TN straightaway because TN has the tendency to draw far more matches than it wins, or even loses. Mumbai stands a better chance of winning most years if we implement a year long league - because they have the winning culture, and never fight shy of stamping on the opponent when pushing would do.

From: Plum on 28th December 2009 03:51 PM [Full View]
There is already a quotient in place which considers wickets taken vs runs scored etc. It is used to determine Preliminary League placings. Problem is how do you use it in Knockout. For instance, Karnataka has such a superior quotient this year that 1 knockout match will not change their place at the top of that quotient chart. Which means that they can enter a match with draw in mind, while the opponent will need to win - i mean if we put in a quotient rule irrespective of knockout result

Rahul Dravid is not playing. Apparently, BCCI turned down a request to let Dravid play the finals and turn up late in Bangladesh.
All I can say is "thoo!" to BCCI. If you dont respect your premier domestic competition, who will?
You might question what if Dravid is injured? To that I say, that would just be an opportunity to blood the youngsters against Bangladesh.
I'd have loved to see RSD take Karnataka past Mumbai but now I dont have much hopes. Mumbai are inching close to a 300 run first innings.(I know they arent 200 yet but hey its Mumbai!). I dont think a Karnataka minus RSD can score that much against mumbai on a bowler friendly track. I know they have piled uo 700s earlier this season but this is knockout and this is Mumbai. RSD was the best hope for Karnataka.
As I had voted, indha varushamaum mumbai dhAN!

Plum,
I read your early posts/rants
I'm happy to have TN lose out in SF/QF every time. They simply dont have a bowling attack. Balaji, Jesuraj have been the best bowlers in the last 10 yrs and sit out half the season with injuries.
TN is just incapable of picking wickets in crunch matches. You dont let a #6, #7 score match winning centuries and hope to win the championship.
Last yr's UP game was OK....this time Delhi middle order all had averages around 25.xx, went on to score maiden centuries and cross 463. TN Bowling sucks bigtime.
Right result in the end...sad for KA but very happy for Mumbai of course

anyway the moral is that wickets win matches and only Mumbai could have come back from 255/3 to clean up the innings within 337. I seriously dont think Karnataka deserved to win after scoring 130 and then letting 51/5 become 234.

Plum,
the behavior issues simply would not have started if not for the unnecessary run out of Agarkar on Day 1. The Mumbai team jointly baited Uthappa since they felt he should have revoked the appeal as captain.
I am not defending Mumbai's reactions but just a thought: what would have been the home crowd's reaction if Mumbai had claimed and won a similar run out?

Found this hilarious description on cricinfo profile
He is a champion sledger, finds it easy to get under opponents' skin, and there are even stories abound that he can create the sound of an edge while keeping to the spinners to deceive umpires
By the way, pretty much every club and league in every state has tremendous sledging and gamesmanship including TN. Perhaps Karnataka cricketers are the most mild mannered (however, maybe not the recent generation since Dinesh Karthik and Uthappa were picked out by Aussies as extremely provocative on the field)

Sadagopan Ramesh reveals something which I have suspected all along
That comment speaks a lot about why TN/SZ players(bar a Laxman or a Dravid) generally flop in the national setup. Apart from the general bias against, this mindset where when a SZ player like Dravid shows appetite, he is dubbed as a West Zone playerI sometimes wish I practised harder. I was never a Rahul Dravid. People like him and Kumble live and breathe cricket. South Indians rely a lot on talent and not much on big scores. They are happy with a 40 or a fifty. Dravid is a typical West Zone player who can bat for long hours, I think one can imagine how the SZ dressing rooms will be like, with typical under achievers.
I really found that "He plays determinedly as though he is a west zone player" very very amusing. I have always suspected that this mentality is established and accepted in TN dressing rooms - looks like it extends to SZ.

Debutant routs Hyderabad for lowest Ranji total
On the first morning of the 77th Ranji Trophy, Rajasthan bowled Hyderabad out for 21 in Jaipur, breaking the record for the lowest team total set in the first edition of the tournament in 1934-35, when Southern Punjab were bowled out for 22 chasing 114 against Northern India in Amritsar. Debutant Deepak Chahar, Rajasthan's 18-year-old medium-pacer, got his first-class career off to a sensational start with a spell that read 7.3-2-10-8. He was not close to getting a perfect 10, though: Pankaj Singh claimed the second and fourth Hyderabad wickets.
Chahar was on a hat-trick once, removing MP Arjun and Alfred Absolem with the last ball of his seventh over and the first of his eighth. Pagadala Naidu, the No. 11, kept the hat-trick ball out but got out to the next one. Not one of Hyderabad's batsmen got to double figures, and Akshath Reddy's 6 was the highest individual score. Incredibly, there were only three ducks, and no extras.
Hyderabad's effort also equalled the record for the lowest total in all first-class cricket in India, a mark that has stayed for 95 seasons. Back in 1915-16, in the good old days of the Bombay Quadrangular, the Europeans bundled the Mohammedans out for 21.
Chahar's debut figures, though, fell just short of the record effort on debut. Back in 1956-57, Maharashtra's Vasant Ranjane took 9 for 56on first-class debut, bowling Saurashtra out for 83 in Khadakvasla and setting up an easy innings win.

Ganapathi 24.
This has been the reason TN has failed to win the trophy. The formidable batting lineup time and again gives away huge advantages. Very rarely, the batsmen go on to make their 50's and 100's count. In Knock-outs, the pattern has been going to something like 300/2 then getting allout for 435, then reducing the opposition to 176/5 and from there conceding the first inns lead.

Kohli slams 173
It seems to be a season for Kohli whatever he touches turn to a gold. Once again Kohli is in the headlines but this time in Domestic cricket. Just two days before his 22nd birthday, Virahat Kohli hit 173 of 267 balls with 24 fours and a six. While Kohli was at the crease 255 runs were scored out of which Kohli scored 173 and his innings finally came to an end with a run out.

TN vs Delhi starting today:
Typical features of TN vs Delhi
1. Young batsman from Delhi contending with young batsman from TN for a national place outshines the TN boy. Step up, Virat Kohli
2. To add insult to injury, TN boy makes a hash of chance given by Delhi boy. Step up, M Vijay/Badri(out of contention already)
3. TN start off well have a sudden collapse(in batting)
4. TN conced runs badly initially, but miraculously scythe through middle order before succumbing to unheralded tailenders
5. Rajat Bhatia screws his former teammates(he played for TN)
6. TN show why they'll never be Ranji champs - lack of big match bottle.
One or more of the above will unfold in the next 3-4 days. (Unless rain intervenes)

But, to be honest, TN selection policy flummoxes me. summA kuru kurunnu change paNNikittE iruppAnga. 4-5 wickets eduthavan adutha matchla drop and for 2 years he will not be there - suddenA they'll recall him for one match and then drop him.
That is perhaps one reason why we dont win the trophy despite probably the best talent pool in the country.

He was in the 15 last time but kinda sat out the whole season. Played a couple of games but didn't perform much IIRC.

Saurashtra 167/3 chasing 582 (Badri 195, Mukund - 240 odd). WIll TN manage to bowl them out? Will Saurashtra overtake and take 3 first inns points. TN has to face stronger teams in next rounds so anything less than 3 points from this match will be disappointing.
Gujarat 78/0 facing innings defeat. If Delhi win this, they are almost assured passage to knockout as they have already finished the tough assignments - TN and Mumbai
Mumbai 22/0 chasing 252. They'll likely win this, thereby taking another step towards the knockout.
Assam trying to salvage a point against Bengal.

Starting today
Bengal vs Tamilnadu
Ganguly is playing for Bengal.
TN lost a couple of points because of rain against Railways and is just 1-2 points clear of Gujarat, Bengal and Delhi. Mumbai was lucky enough to gete enough play and so was Delhi in the last round to get crucial first innings points.
Today also rained out. If this match also we get 1 point or less, we'll be in serious trouble to reach knockout.
Other contenders have easy matches coming up.
I remember a couple of seasons or so back, TN lost the knockout chance because 2-3 of their matches against bottom teams got rained out

-
From: Plum on 1st December 2010 06:44 PM [Full View]
That said, Bengal are quite strong and who knows, we may be lucky to escape with a rain-assisted(or otherwise) 1 point in this match?
3 points for 1st inns lead will be a bonus and 5 for a win almost ruled out now that first day play has been rained out.
-
From: Plum on 1st December 2010 07:04 PM [Full View]
Other matches
Delhi 332/5 vs Assam
Delhi are at 8 points and Assam 7. Either way, one of them will leap above or equal TN in points tally at the end of this round
Mumbai 282/2 vs Gujarat
Mumbai are comfortably perched at 14 and Gujarat at 10 snapping at TN's heels.
It is unlikely that Mumbai fail to qualify so it might be good if Gujarat are limited to 1 point or less in this match. On Track so far.
Railways 233/4 vs Saurashtra
Both at 3 points. A draw with first innings undecided is ideal from this match. But one of the teams will get atleast 3 points from this match.
All in all, a tough campaign for TN now. Mumbai played poorly in the league last year even without the rain-induced woes that TN is facing this year. Despite that, they qualified. Funny thing is they do that all the time. Somehow, TN never get that sort of lucky break. They havent been playing badly this season still a couple of matches rained out against opponents from whom atleast 3 points might have been gained, and they are facing elimination!
It's written, surely

Rained out.

This year TN had maximum home matches and supposed to have an easy passage :wry-smile:
I think TN has been extremely unlucky in Ranji history. Last time we had home advantage, same thing happened. Really, easy matches washed out at home
Now Bengal has only bottomers saurashtra and railways to deal with. They wont suffer washed out matches with only 1 @oint salvaged
TN not going to knockout this time. Last year, mumbai barely scraped through. AvabgaLukku mattum crucial easy match rain out aagi, adhanaala 1 point differencela knockout pOgAdha nelamai ErpadAdhu - and TN played much better than mumbai did last year.

My point being?
Many csk fans arent exactly tn fans. This is fine but some of them claimed otherwise then - this is for varalatru recording.

sattish - seems like the pitch and the conditions are extremely bowler friendly. 150 is supposed to be a tough target. So, dont keep too much hopes.
More than that, there might be a result in this match - and in such lottery situations Mumbai has both the pluck and luck to come on top. If TN can salvage 1 point from this match, that will be a bonus and unexpected. First inns lead or 5 points for victory - not even in dreams!!

Well done to TN & Vasudevadas.

Points Table
Mumbai - Already through
TN - 14 points
Delhi - 13 points
Gujarat - `13 points
Bengal - 12 points
Railways - 11 points
Delhi v Mumbai
--Tough match for Delhi. Maximum they can expect 3 points which will take them to 16 points and into the knockout place.
Railways v Bengal
--Straight shootout. Only one can go to next phase. 3 points might be just about enough for Bengal but Railways need an outright win to be sure.
Tamil Nadu v Gujarat
--TN's requirement is pretty simple.
Option a) Get 1st innings lead(3 points) and coast to the knock out stages or
Option b) Avoid giving 1st innings lead to Gujarat (thereby 1 point each) to get through.

nAn dhAn sonnEnE...
This is all about "signs". Been there, seen that.
This is not the first time.
After years, TN will get a predominantly "home" season. Exactly that year, rains will wash out crucial matches with weak opponents. Note: Matches where TN is struggling will not be washed out. adhu mattum full distance pOgum
I mean, we lost atleast 4 points this year due to rain - easy matches where we would have got atleast first inns lead were washed out. If we got that, we are already through.
That we didnt is a sign to me that this is another of those jinx years.
Why doesnt this ever happen to Mumbai?
(Dont tell me they are so dominant - last year, they just scraped through - if even one match against easy opponent had been rained out, they'd have been out)

Tamil Nadu 72 for 2 (Mukund 30*) trail Haryana 379 for 6 dec (Saini 150, Sunny Singh 102) by 307 runs
http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiando...ch/465460.html
Another late start on the third day, and the prediction of another fog-affected day on Monday, means the match between Tamil Nadu and Haryana in Rohtak could come down to run-rate. Tamil Nadu have played 24 overs in their innings and need to play another six for the run-rate in the on-going match to come into play. If they don't play at least 30 overs in their innings, then they will go through because they had a better net run-rate than Haryana in the group stage. Haryana scored at 3.26 in their innings while Tamil Nadu have scored at 3.00 in the 24 overs they have batted.
Thick fog delayed the start of play on Sunday to 3pm, and Haryana decided to declare on their overnight score of 379 for 6. Seamer Sanjay Budhwar gave them an early breakthrough, dismissing opener Arun Karthik with the score on 39. Tamil Nadu's two most prolific batsmen this season Abhinav Mukund and Subramaniam Badrinath put together 33, before Badrinath fell to Joginder Sharma just before stumps.
Haryana still have a chance to bowl Tamil Nadu out if they have time to get in enough overs on the last day. From Tamil Nadu's point of view, they will need to up their scoring rate.

With haryana and rajasthan assured of a semis berth each, madhya pradesh is fighting to overcome Rajasthan and Railways hanging in gamely against baroda. While mp is central zone, spiritually it is cow belt. Railways is north zone.
With some luck, it could have been a all-northie semis lineup. And still could be - atleast haryana and rajasthan are sure to make it barring last minute heroics by mumbai.

if TN CANNOT complete the first innings, then the run rate will be considered.. currently, it has 3 RPO. Haryana's RPO is 3.26. The minimum overs considered for this case is 30 overs. So, TN should play out and maintain a better run rate that HR.
Even if the whole day's play is washed out, TN can still go into the semis with their better run rate in the league..

I think we meet Baroda in the semis? If yes, it will be in Baroda so difficult match.
IMO, Karnataka have been the most impressive team with consistent performances by many in the team and good solid team efforts when top order let them down, too. The medium pace attack is decent for a domestic level team.
I'd back them to win the title this year. Baroda is the next best especially if Youtube Pathan gets going against the weak kneed TN bowlers.
Rajasthan have been impressive starting from the stunning 21 allout of Hyderabad on the first day of this year's campaign.(It was Rajasthan, wasnt it?)
TN are only the 4th best team in the semis. It would be an irony if they win this time(which they won't) because far better combinations than this have had the bad luck of getting unstuck in knockouts against Delhi/Mumbai. And have had crucial breaks going against them in doing so.
I dont know if I will be happy if TN win it this year. Well, it doesnt look like they will so I will be spared of thinking about this I guess...

Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu enter the semis
ESPNcricinfo staff
Rajasthan 589 (Saxena 143, Kanitkar 113, Menaria 121, Nayar 7-131) drew with Mumbai 252 and 291 (Rahane 102, Kukreja 100)
Scorecard
Rajasthan halted the run of 39-time champions Mumbai and entered the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy. The result was almost a foregone conclusion at the end of the second day, but they had to wait till the fourth evening to finally celebrate. Forget winning, they hadn't taken a first-innings lead over Mumbai in 50 years and Aakash Chopra caught the spirit of the moment when he wrote, "It's not often that you have the champions on the mat and the moment is worth a lot more than just a result going your way." Rajasthan will now meet Tamil Nadu in Jaipur on January 3.
For Rajasthan, the fourth day was all about waiting for play to end so they could start their celebrations.They were given added reason to smile as Ashok Menaria, the former India Under-19s captain who replaced Vaibhav Deshpande this game, completed his maiden first-class century. He hit eight fours and five sixes and was the last man out as Rajasthan batted out two hours at the start of the final day. Mumbai then scored 290 for 1 with Ajinkya Rahane and Sahil Kukrejka hitting hundreds. Rahane, in particular, provided some entertainment with a 69-ball 102 runs with 12 fours and three sixes.
Tamil Nadu 285 for 6 (Sathish 106, Karthik 57) drew with Haryana 379 for 6 dec (Saini 150, Sunny Singh 102)
Scorecard
R Sathish hit a fine hundred to ensure Tamil Nadu prevailed over Haryana to enter the semi-finals by virtue of a better run-rate in the match at the Bansi Lal Stadium in Lahli. Haryana will be disappointed that they had to end on the losing side despite dominating most of the game. In another fog-hit day when only 55 overs were possible, Sathish revived Tamil Nadu from 91 for 4 to finish on 285 for 6. He found great support in Dinesh Karthik, who had had a horror season before this game, and added 91 runs for the fifth wicket.
The equation was simple at the start of the day: if a minimum of thirty overs were bowled in Tamil Nadu's first innings, the team with the higher net run-rate in this game would advance to the semis. If the fog didn't allow that many overs to be completed, the net run-rate from the league stage would have applied and Tamil Nadu would have gone through.
Ranji Trophy 2010-11 semi-finals line-up
* Rajasthan v Tamil Nadu in Jaipur, January 3-6, 2011
* Baroda v Karnataka in Vadodara, January 3-6, 2011
Haryana began promisingly as Joginder Sharma and Sanjay Budhawar knocked out the in-form batsmen Abhinav Mukund and K Vasudevadas to leave Tamil Nadu wobbling at 91 for 4 in the 34th over. However, Sathish revived Tamil Nadu with a refreshing knock; he played his shots from the start and went after Sachin Rana in particular. Haryana were further handicapped as their captain Amit Mishra had a lacklustre day with the ball (0 for 53 in 12 overs). Though Karthik fell, lbw to Budhawar, Sathish found an able ally in C Ganapathy (17* in 100 minutes) and added 95 runs for the seventh wicket. Sathish finally fell but Ganapathy played out the final 3.5 overs in the company of R Ashwin to take Tamil Nadu to the semis
Baroda 416 (Devdhar 122, Jai P Yadav 3-63) and 136 for 3 drew with Railways 248 and 366 for 8 decl (Awasthi 125)
Scorecard
Baroda staved off a tough fight from Railways and qualified for the semi-finals on the basis of their first-innings lead. Railways fought bravely in the second innings but it was always going to be a tough ask for them to clinch an outright win after yielding a 168-run lead.
Railways' plan was simple on the final day: get some quick runs, declare and hope for a minor miracle from the bowlers. Prashant Awasthi was run out after completing his hundred and Dhiran Salvi made a quick 40 as they set Baroda a target of 199. There was to be no miracle, though, as Baroda reached 136 for the loss of just three wickets to ensure their progress to the semis. Connor Williams and the first-innings centurion Kedar Devdhar hit fifties to settle Baroda's nerves after opener Jaikishan Kolsawala was trapped lbw by Jai Prakash Yadav. Though Devdhar and Rakesh Solanki fell, Williams remained unbeaten to ensure Railways went out of the competition.

Poor stuff from TN. If you can't take wickets against a Plate division team, you dont deserve to be in the finals.
Previous years - atleast I can understand, they got knocked out by the likes of Mumbai, Delhi and UP, all strong teams.

At least RPO shows the intent of the team to get going and want a result. Everybody talks about test cricket being on the decline, with an approach like Rajashthan's, it will only be sooner. I wish this match rains out and Rajasthan find out it is the RPO that cost them

Well, as I said after the QF round-up, in an ideal world, Karnataka will win this year's Ranji trophy(and TN would have, last year). They are well-rounded with excellent batsmen(in flat conditions), good batsmen(in seaming conditions) and decent batsmen(in spin-friendly surfaces) plus the best seam attack in the country. They have dominated in a variety of surfaces this year and deserve to win the trophy.
Last year, TN was the best all-round side with Ashwin turning out regularly for them and Balaji being more potent. But then, it is not the best team that always wins. And TN's bad luck is that they dont win it when they are the best team around, and they dont win it(like other teams) when they arent the best team around either!

Let's say 3PO is the one to aim for.
That means around 165 overs to survive with that RPO. Except Badri, there arent any one in the TN team to play a survival game with the scoreboard ticking.
Anyway, I dont grudge Rajasthan this victory(whether it be outright or based on first innings or other rules). Dinesan as a captain has been underwhelming this year. I get the feeling that the team is not very happy with him, reflecting in their performances. He deserves to not win the trophy. And the lineup is not as good as some of the recent TN ones somehow.

Rajasthan enter their first final despite Badrinath's heroics
Rajasthan 552 for 7 decl (Chopra 139, Menaria 106, Kanitkar 100*) drew with Tamil Nadu 385 (Badrinath 175) and 2 for 0
Rajasthan's dream is still alive. They couldn't dislodge Tamil Nadu's wall, S Badrinath, but dismantled the rest brick by brick to enter their first Ranji final. The seamers, Pankaj Singh, Deepak Chahar and Sumit Mathur, sparkled on a docile track to apply the squeeze, and the legspinner Vivek Yadav ran through the lower order to shove Tamil Nadu out of the competition.
For 10 hours and five minutes, Badrinath resisted everything hurled at him: outswingers, inswingers, bouncers, leg breaks, sliders, sledges, official warning from the umpire for repeatedly pulling out of strike, his team-mates' self-destructive ways, and his opponent's determined resolve. They couldn't out him at all but Rajasthan found a way around him to achieve their dream.
There was nothing in the pitch but the seamers created venom in the air to do the job. The 18-year old Chahar, playing his debut season, swung the ball both ways, Pankaj mixed his outswingers with the nip-backers, the balding Mathur punctuated his probing line around off stump with bouncers and Yadav flung in his quickish legbreaks and sliders to hustle Tamil Nadu.
It was a fascinating day's play. You could feel the pressure Tamil Nadu were under, and you could sense the intense desire and ambition of their opponents. Badrinath v Rajasthan was a riveting battle. Like yesterday, the bowlers complained to the umpires that Badrinath was not ready when they were ready to bowl. Like yesterday, the umpires chastened Badrinath. "The moment the bowler turns around, you have to be ready," Hariharan told Badrinath. "This is the last friendly warning." A visibly agitated Pankaj had a few words to say. Badrinath moved away again a short while later, as Mathur released the ball, and was handed his official warning. The heat was truly on. If it affected him, Badrinath didn't show it and knuckled down further but he was let down by his team-mates.
R Sathish, who had come in after the overnight batsman K Vasudevadas had inside-edged an outswinger on to his stumps, did all the hard work before throwing his wicket away. Chahar had him in a tangle- the big inswingers repeatedly rapped him on the pad and the outswingers kept teasing the outside edge- but Sathish fought on grittily. Every time he was beaten, he looked at Badrinath and flashed a smile. The pair saw through the first session but the self-destruction set in the second. Sathish went for a flamboyant on-the-up drive off Mathur but hit it straight to short extra cover to leave Tamil Nadu wobbling at 283 for 5.
It was in these kind of big moments that Tamil Nadu have choked in the past and more brain freeze was in store today. C Ganapathy, promoted ahead of Suresh Kumar, was peppered by bouncers from Mathur and threw his wicket away by pulling one straight to deep square-leg. Suresh Kumar hung around for a while and the pressure started to tell on everyone. When the score was 312, Badrinath charged down the track to Yadav and failed to connect but Rohit Jhalani fluffed a simple stumping. Yadav, though, kept chugging along and soon trapped Suresh Kumar lbw with a slider on the off stump line.
Enter L Balaji. He stuck adhesively to the crease for 76 minutes and was dropped on 14 by Jhalani but failed to connect with a sweep and fell lbw to Yadav. The No.10, R Suthesh, combusted spontaneously on arrival: He tried to slog Yadav and miscued it to mid-on and S Sam got into a mix-up with Badrinath and was run out by a direct hit by Robin Bist from deep midwicket to trigger celebrations in the Rajasthan camp. Badrinath trudged back in disappointment.
Rajasthan rubbed the salt into wounds by making Tamil Nadu follow-on and an over later it was all over. History was calling and the desert boys were all ears. Rajasthan now face Baroda in a final that not many would have predicted. It's been that kind of a season.

Akash Chopra knows his limitations and plays to his strengths - agreed. I have always been a fan of people maximizing their talent and will be. But I don't like his articles and it has nothing to do with his game. My primary grouse is that he is largely a wannabe view-from-the-middle insightful cricketer-writer. He offers nothing new but takes the tone that he is, IMO. And he pushes the underdog tag a bit too far which I don't agree with as Rajasthan needed the help of 'professionals' and home advantage to get here.
Another fellow who's articles/blogs I don't like is Ian O'Brein. Very honest trier and willing to go through the wall for the captain, yes. But reading him feels like reading a diary with stuff like kaalaila endhirichen, kulichen, idly saapten, etc.

AF, last year Mumbai won. They were on the brink, and got a favourable draw despite qualifying last and won on 1sat inns lead. Still, nobody grudged them for there were some good knocks by their batsmen and decent cricket played.
You see people grumbling this year - i am not the only one - because of the way Rajasthan played.
1st inns rule is there to break a stalemate. To make that a strategy is cynical and tantamount to pissing on Cricket, the sport.
Yes, many teams in the past have won on that rule. But nobody cynically went for it from day one like these guys. If they had failed, maybe it would have been justice served and nobody complains. But a succesful cynical strategy always brings opprobrium and enemies(ask me about gqaining enemies because of succesful cynical chatterjee )
To be fair, we have had finals where Karnataka scored 700+ and Delhi chased it down. But this is something else altogether.

Chopra on Rajasthan's success
One Key Point he makes:
Well, if you think that way, TN is doomed. We'll have our president interfering in Selection as well as ensuring that his club is favoured in selection. With the result that dressing room unity of purpose is a distant dream.Rajasthan had identified both its personnel and their roles way back in August while most teams were not even thinking about the season yet. You would be surprised that the squad which defeated Vadodara in the Ranji finals is almost identical to the one which played in the Buchi Babu tournament in August. This shows consistency in the selection process which not only provides continuity but also stability. Due credit should be given to president C P Joshi, who allowed things to run its course and never interfered.

Usually, you advice out of form players to take a break from international cricket and spend some time in Domestic Cricket to get back their groove. I think we have to advise DK to quit Domestic Cricket for a while and focus on Club cricket, get back his groove and come back.

Usually, you advice out of form players to take a break from international cricket and spend some time in Domestic Cricket to get back their groove. I think we have to advise DK to quit Domestic Cricket for a while and focus on Club cricket, get back his groove and come back.

Unsavoury incident
The day was marred by a fracas between Uthappa and Ishant. It was the usual case of a batsman being blocked intentionally or unintentionally by a bowler while completing a run.
The two moved menacingly towards each other before South African umpire Brian Jerling separated the pair. Match referee Col. Chinmaya Shrama fined the two players 100 per cent of their match fee for the level 2 offence.

Update on Vijay Hazare Trophy:
TN have done well to win both their matches so far and will top the group definitely, what more, beating Karnataka comfortably has been the highlight
Scorecards of both matches here
vs Goa http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiando...ch/471524.html
vs Karnataka http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiando...ch/474956.html
Special mention to S Chitnis of Mumbai, this guy will become a star in the near future. Mumbai Indians had him in their squad last season and I think he played a match or two for them. His performances in this tournament so far
vs Baroda - DNB
vs Gujarat - 71* of 33 balls with four 4's and six 6's
vs Saurashtra - 53 run out of 53 balls with three 4's and four 6's
vs Maharastra - 100* of 70 balls with three 4's and ten 6's

Mulli Vijay was playing well until he made that out-of-form-VVS-Laxman impersonation (playing outside the line of a straight ball) and got bowled. Never a dull moment when thanga thalaivan DK is at the crease.

South Zone: 194 all out in 45 overs. Anirudha 53. Dinshu Karthi made 89 and was the last man out. DK also took the wickets of Badrinath and Jakati . Mindless slogs from lower order instead of giving strike to set partner . Mostly Central Zone will win, I think.

Well done

Watching the India Blue vs India Green game, if the selectors really do take these performances into consideration then R Uthappa should get a look in again. DESTROYED every bowler, Mishra had no clue on where to bowl to him, shame that he retired after scoring an hundred though.
Do the selectors really think before they pick these teams? I don't understand the idea of having Sangwan, I Pathan and P Paremeswaran (all left arm quicks) in the same team. Also, they have P Ojha and Mishra who turn the ball away from the right hander in the same team. The Blues could have done with an off spinner for sure..

Plum, Dinesh should try to get into the Indian team as a middle order bat..his keeping plainly sucks which seems to have domino effect on his other skills and hence weighing down his selection..with the quality of domestic attacks I hope he piles up Jaffer like number in this season and be back in the reckoning however looking at Parthiv's outfield fielding skills and with the musical chairs being played on team selection I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a chance against Windies in the odis
Badri will back after 2 weeks to lead the team and TN Ranji team which has same problems as the Indian team faces which is to find quality new ball bowlers..for all the their brickbats we don't even have bowlers of Vinay/Arvind's quality. Badri will end up as yet another domestic bully who was a nervous wreck at int. cricket and would then go on to star in a movie kottampatti about IPL cricket after his retirement.

ippodhaan padichen Satish. Thanks for pointing to it.
One thing I liked is that he says he is trying for the second wicket-keeper's spot. If he were to compete with Raina, Kohli, Rahane, Rohit for the middle-order spot he would definitely lose as there is too much class there and every failure (or even a moderate performance) would evoke a national outcry on why a keeper-batsman is being played as a specialist batsman when so many classy players are in reserve.
Working on his keeping. Again the right thing to do. Baseball helmet pottuttu goalie maadhiri ball-a stop pannittu irundha oru paya madhikka maattaan. I think Saha is the better keeper of all three.

3rd opener is Ajinkya. Kanfaarmednga. Gambhiram will get enough chances until he plays that big knock. Yeah, he also seems to get timely injiuries before difficult foreign tours. Remind me - did he play in South Africa? So, yes, maybe he'll find an injury before the Aussie tour. And Viru's days are numbered, too. He may be gone sooner than expected. True but Mukundan will be targetted based on his failure in England for years to come by TOI-let papers.

he is still playing those guide to 3rd man shots in tests OZ fast bowling battery will sort him out..also sans Twatto all other are hit the deck bowlers which should work in favour of Mukundan's backfoot play but another failure in OZ would be a death knell to his test career..
Mukundan deserves a go in home conditions..Gambhiram is living example of a player being at the right place at the right time and he has made a test career out of playing mostly in subcontinental conditions and he also did the smart thing of getting hitched before the tough OZ series

What's with this Gambhir being smart and picking tours? Questioning the commitment of a player like Gambhir is quite sad
-
From: Plum on 13th November 2011 02:08 PM [Full View]
LM, I am a little disappointed by his choice of KKR over India recently. I believe he carried his injury in the IPL, either knowingly or foolishly, thus jeopardising his readiness for Eng and WI tours. Going by sequence of events, I tend to think he deliberately did not bother about seriously evaluating his fitness during IPL. Same way, he rushed into CL barely days after getting the concussions. I found that haste unseemly. I don't trust him like before
-
From: Plum on 13th November 2011 02:15 PM [Full View]
And LM, let's face it. At the least, the injuries just before the toughest tours was lucky even if not deliberate. While Mukund will be judged on that England tour forever now, Gambhir hasn't ever faced a test of that sort yet. It does leave a bitter taste until he performs in a real tough overseas tour. To an extent, the coming oz tour might not be that tough tour since Oz have fallen already. Beating them this year is not the same as beating them in 04 or 08. Saying that, I do understand beating even this team will be a huge historic win for us. Likewise, if Gambhir succeeds atleast against the current Aussie attack in Oz, we can place him unreservedly among the Virus and Sunnys and Rahuls

I think he was being pressurised by his franchise to play in that IPL game despite having injury. About CL, he had enough time to recover from concussion. A player of his stature wouldn't deliberately put IPL or CL above country. Let's cut him some slack. Originally Posted by Plum
He did well against SA after being made to jump and hop in 1st innings of 1st test, didn't he? Scored 50s in all other three innings he played(with a 90 and 80). Missed the second test because of hand injury, but I hope you wouldn't say he deliberately missed it. Originally Posted by Plum

Lm, my grip with Gambhiram is that he pretends to be a tough cookie and an ATG but he doesn't have the numbers or a gritty innings in testing conditions to back it up..I would have him on the same pedestal as samaraveeras of the world until he plays a career defining innings in test cricket overseas. Also, whats the deal with missing test cricket for a sisters marriage
-
From: littlemaster1982 on 13th November 2011 07:39 PM [Full View]
He is a tough guy, going by his ODI game at least. His innings against NZ in Napier was as gritty as it gets. He played a couple of good innings against SA in SA too. Samaraveera koodavellam compare pandradhu
And about missing a test for his sister's wedding, I think it's unfair to expect a player to completely ignore his personal moments. He had said in few interviews that how instrumental his sister was with respect to his success in cricket. Sachin/Kohli's case was entirely different.
-
From: wizzy on 13th November 2011 09:15 PM [Full View]
Lm, one swallow doesn't make a summer imo he will end up with an avg of around 40 and he had truck loads of luck in SA with respect to dropped catches and umpiring decisions..this OZ tour will test his batting skills even though their bowling is shadow of what it was..the remark on him missing the test was TFIC

From: Puliyan_Biryani on 13th November 2011 11:56 PM [Full View]
Agree with LM on Gambhir. Committed, heart-on-your-sleeve fellow-nudhaan naanum thing panren. Reg IPL/CL, idhellaam Indian players-ku oru criteria-vave consider panna mudiyadhu. When players the stature of Sachin, Dhoni, Sehwag cannot skip it despite a gruelling WC/Eng tour then Gambhir has nothing to be blamed for, IMO. Wrt to injuries, yes they may seem a bit opportunistic or lucky but none of them seemed faked or deliberate (concussions/hand injury).

So target of 218 to be chased in 49 overs was only on paper, effectively it was to be chased in 40 overs or less.. Appadiyum we started postively only but M Vijay was very lethargic to get run out like that, Aparajith and DK had to consolidate a bit before they could think about going for it. In the end both teams had to settle for a draw.

Mumbai 254/7 vs MP 192. Mumbai are almost through, as they have the first innings lead and if there is a dog-fight in the 4th innings, you'd back Mumbai against Haryana 9/10 times. The tenth occasion would be when an all-time indian great allrounder skippers Haryana, and a young future record maker plays his first or second match along with the current indian captain, who then is reduced to tears as his team misses by a whisker. Since that scenario has been played out in early 90s, it is 9/9. So, Mumbai through

Karnataka 151 and 75/2 vs Haryana 272. Karnataka rest their hopes on a brittle middle order and Stuart Binny. They are without Vinaykumar and A Mithun, who are away on national duty - some would say that is lose-lose for both Karnataka and India - and S Aravind, the pace maestro is absent due to injury well. Much depends on Binny, and Binny has an opportunity to press his case for the position of seaming all-rounder with MSD, who has been lamenting the lack of one in India. Haryana didn't look like knockout contenders, before scraping through in their last match AFTER conceding first inns lead against Gujarat. Can they extend the run? Haryana have the edge but Karnataka cannot be ruled out. Tomorrow will be the decisive day.

Rajasthan 411/9 vs Hyderabad. Hyderabad went into the match seeking revenge for the 21 incident. Looks like Rajasthan have sneaked ahead again at the expense of the mercurial Southerners. Coached by doyen spin bowler Sunil Joshi, Hyderabad have overcome stiff odds to make it to this stage - including an epic chase of 531 in the plate semis against Vidharba. But this one seems a step too far...but don't worry Hyderabad, VVS will be playing for you next season so that's something to loo forward to. For now, Rajasthan continuing their miracle run which started last year from thar 21 incident. Back to back championship for Rajasthan? Who would have thought?

That leaves us with eternal bridesmaid, Tamilnadu. They are seemingly through to semis at 222/2 in reply to 232 by Lowly Maharashtra. But, perhaps, destiny has a message to give by stopping them at double nelson at the end of the second day. Unexpected collapses, Bowling freezes and a totally unpredictable way of surrendering the initiative has been TN's story in knock outs for years. So, one cannot rule out a black swan event tomorrow but even if they get through, an away match at Bangalore or Rohtak beckons. Who can bet against yet another capitulation by TN there if they do get through this?

Mumbai vs Haryana would be a repeat of the famous Kapil vs Vengi songi+chachin + kambli match. Paaji won that battle single handedly. Mumbai vs Rajasthan a repeat of last year's semis. Soporific Chopra and co out-batted Mumbai then. Mumbai is playing defensively themselves this year. Rajasthan can exploit brittle Haryana lineup so it is likely to be Rajasthan vs Mumbai final. Haryana will hope to surprise again but TN's knockout script is written and the writing on the wall is clear - yet another year without winning the trophy :sigh:

Heavyweights in game of patience
Look at the team rosters and you will be inclined to call Tamil Nadu the favourites ahead of Mumbai on the eve of the Ranji Trophy semi-final which starts at Wankhede Stadium from Tuesday. In L Balaji, S Badrinath, Dinesh Karthik, M Vijay and Abhinav Mukund, Tamil Nadu have five players who have played for India, and are still in the reckoning. In contrast, Mumbai have only Abhishek Nayar and the pair of Wasim Jaffer and Ramesh Powar, two marathoners who run as if there is no finish tape, but with little hope of returning to the India squad.
Yet Mumbai retain that bonding, that ability to pull together as a team, regardless of how strong or meagre the resources at hand, a quality that has seen them emerge domestic champions on five occasions from the turn of the millennium.
In the corresponding period, Tamil Nadu entered the finals only twice, in 2002-02 and 2003-04, faced Mumbai on both occasions, and came out second. Badrinath played in both those defeats while Balaji, Tamil Nadu's current captain, was part of the 2003 side. If you do not win a Ranji Trophy when you have played for more than ten years, it hurts, as Balaji admitted.
It is this pain of the absence of the crown which is bound to be the driving force for Tamil Nadu over the next four days. But Balaji's biggest challenge would be to keep his inexperienced bowling attack focussed, accurate and patient. Yo Mahesh and Jagannathan Kaushik, his fast-bowling partners, need Balaji to prompt them from mid-off and mid-on all the time.
Aushik Srinivas is Tamil Nadu's leading spinner at 18. The slow left-arm bowler will have fond memories of this city, as it was against Mumbai that he had got his career-best figures of 7 for 107 at the Bandra Kurla Complex ground in 2009. But Aushik tends to get distracted and bowls wrong lines; he needs constant guidance from Balaji and J Gokulakrishnan, the Tamil Nadu bowling coach.
Not only does he have to play the mentor, Balaji also has to give the right start with the new ball for his young attack to stay calm. He has declared himself fit for the match after sitting out on the third day of the quarter-final against Maharashtra due to back spasms. It was an old injury, Balaji said, which he now knows how to handle. If anything, Balaji, an intense man, and an aggressive bowler, will only be hungry to accept the challenge.
Luckily for them, the visitors' batting is full of experience and talent. Vijay, Abhinav, Badrinath and Karthik will be itching to perform and impress the selectors who will assemble in Chennai on January 15 to pick the ODI squad for the tri-series in Australia.
With 825 runs, Abhinav is only 16 behind Rajasthan's Robin Bist, the highest run-getter this season. But he has never played at Wankhede and importantly, never made a Ranji century against Mumbai. Vijay has been inconsistent this season; the absence of any century highlights that fact.
Badrinath was ruled out for part of the season with an injury. He returned for the previous four matches and made a hundred against Gujarat. It was his 250 that had forced Mumbai to concede the first-innings lead in 2009. The batting form of the wicketkeeper Karthik, for whom Wankhede will soon be the home ground in the IPL after he was bought by Mumbai Indians, allows his team to field five bowlers.
Mumbai will be wary of all these men, once they sort their own issues. Despite the absence of Ajit Agarkar, Mumbai have managed to get this far, and credit goes to Ramesh Powar, the joint-highest wicket-taker among the four semi-finalists. His success only exposes the limitations of Mumbai's fast bowlers.
Though Dhawal Kulkarni got a five-for in the first innings against Madhya Pradesh in the quarter-final, he failed to get a wicket the second time around and sat out the final day with a shin niggle. Balwinder Sandhu - who claimed a five-for on debut against Punjab - bowled gamely against MP, but lacks the pace to breach the formidable Tamil Nadu batting order. Kshemal Waingankar can bowl honest spells but needs support from his captain as well as from the opposite end.
The return of Nayar, who was forced to miss the previous two matches due to a swollen thumb, could provide Mumbai some respite. Though Suryakumar Yadav has been the highest run-getter for Mumbai, Nayar has been their best batsman, playing with a maturity that comes with years and the willingness to accept the responsibility of being a senior batsman. Along with his batting, Nayar has also proved handy with the ball, bowling nagging lines, at times wide outside the off stump, to distract batsman into playing a false stroke.
"Most of their batsmen have played for India and have been scoring runs. Even in their bowling you have to guard against Balaji who is always a threat. So you have to guard against everything," Wasim Jaffer, the Mumbai captain, said. Accoding to Balaji, it would be a tough game, like always. "Whenever Tamil Nadu and Mumbai play, both teams play hard," Balaji said.
In the end it would be a game of patience, as WV Raman, the former India batsman and Tamil Nadu coach, said on The Chatter, ESPNcricinfo's audio show.

If there is one side Tamil Nadu would rather not face in the Ranji Trophy - especially in a knockout fixture - it would have to be Mumbai. Twenty-two times, these two sides have clashed in India's premier first-class tournament. Tamil Nadu have come out on top just twice, whereas Mumbai have won on 13 occasions. Additionally, Mumbai have taken the first-innings lead in five of the seven games that ended in draws. Counting those leads as wins, the head-to-head record stands at a whopping 18-4 in Mumbai's favour. To say that Tamil Nadu are the underdogs in this particular battle is to grossly understate a fact.

I was expecting badri to get out. Basically, TN will score an unwinnable first inns total and then play catchup from thereon. That is the script. Even ordinary unheralded Mumbai batsmen will cash in. TN vs Mumbai is just like Ind vs Aus in Aus 2011 version. Surrender. Capitulation. Defeat. Disgrace. Something enters their mind. If Mumbai had five india players in this clash, they'll be humiliating TN. Well, they'd be doing that even when the situation is reversed as it is now. TN must be the most pathetic bowling side despite playing 5 bowlers to other teams' 4. And pretty 50s is all the vaunted batsmen can score. Contrast that with Rajasthan who out-bored Mumbai last year.

Typical TN - let's face it: those 3 wickets at 107 of the 3 most experienced batsmen is exactly the sort of event that can be faux-scholarly analysed as turning point in post-match narratives. It always is like this - something really out of the way happens and TN hand over the initiative. I am amazed at the unfailing pattern of the losses/first innings lead defeats. The late order resistance shows it is a good pitch to bat on - given TN's bowling weakness, this was a 600+ pitch to even have a chance. Just like TN to have a brain fade like that. Mumbai will take the first inns lead, and pretty much game over after that. How sad! History keeps repeating itself. Mumbai should really experiment by sending a u-19 side. That will confirm that TN are programmed to lose against them, genetically.

England crumpled in Perth which was the only challenging pitch on their Ashes tour. Every damn team in World Cricket is useless in challenging seaming conditions. The teams with the better bowling attacks are managing to do well on both seaming tracks and flat tracks and are succeeding - the teams without good bowlers are unable to. This is the key differentiator in today's cricket world. India's top batsmen are still the best in the world - if only we had even the reserve bowlers of England, we'd have won all overseas series in last 10 years. Repeat - Indian batsmen(seniors) aren't flat track bullies - form might vary but it is unfair to label them so.

6-0 (Tennis set score and a bagel). Not even a single hard fought draw.
Worst record since 1968. Toothless bowling of all time. Managed to cross 300 only once in 12 inns. It's tough to ignore hard evidence. Cricinfo published an article saying that in the last 2-3 yrs batting sides have amassed the most 150+scores against us. A couple of 200's and a 300.
Batting okay I agree with you, bowling has been bottomline horrible, abysmal, futile and add anymore expletives you want. We are not even dishing out spinners anymore. Time to seriously introspect the domestic structure.
P.S: The most frustrating news was the release of IPL 2012 schedule after SCG loss.

Agree to everything you say but there has been a lot of effort put in to develop good fast bowlers and we've had quite a lot of prospects coming through but nobody has sustained long enough.. There could be a lot of factors to this but my point is the domestic competition needs to have an even playing field which it doesn't at the moment Originally Posted by wizzy

TN, if they make it to finals, have exactly the kind of opponent they detest in Rajasthan - disciplined, determined, old pros, young pacers.

How about the rule which was followed in Asian Test Championship of 98 or 01 (Sunny devised it, I think)? After 100 overs, whatever you do with the bat or ball doesn't count for any bonus points. I think that points system would work well in our domestic circuit as well.

@P_B
Cricinfo says
"With Rajasthan losing just two wickets in as many days, and a pitch loaded with runs, the Ranji final has all the makings of a high-scoring draw. In the scenario where Tamil Nadu fail to finish their first innings within the stipulated five days, then the winner would be determined by comparing the run rates. But for that, Tamil Nadu will need to bat at least 30 overs.
Does that mean TN only has to bat a session to win the Ranji? Rajasthan runrate might come to bite them in the end provided the D(K)& co use their heads.

@wizzy, Rajasthan aren't so dumb to bat for 4 1/2 days. They may even get a ban if they do (hint: Asnodhkar).
Expecting some acceleration tomorrow to finish around 650 from 260 overs (which would effectively put 1st inns lead out of question). TN would need to score atleast 500 in the remaining 190 overs and not lose 10 wickets. Tough ask with the scoreboard pressure. nambuvom, nambidhaane aaganum :fingers crossed:.
On a side note, just imagine if Sehwag or Sachin played 550 balls like Sucks-ena. 400, 500 ellaam dhomsam panniruppaanga.

Rajasthan's mathematical approach puts them in the driver's seat
As the second day of the 2011-2012 Ranji Trophy final between Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu commenced people started walking into the ground. A boy had got his girl friend on a date and the lady was excited for it was her first live experience of a cricket match in a stadium. The boy cashed on and put some extra effort in explaining her the game’s intricacies.
But soon they broke into a quarrel and by Tea were no more in talking terms. On a day when cricket was expected to put its mathematician hat on rather than the entertainer one it was a tactical blunder on the boy’s part and he must be now paying for it through a lengthened telephone bill. Remembering AF's "ipdi oru girl friend namakku thevaiyaa" .
As the day was closing to end the crowd shouted, “Balaji, adutha over umpire ku kudu” asking Balaji to give the umpire a few overs to bowl..

Points system, pitches feature in Chopra's paper
The BCCI's technical committee is set to meet on Friday to discuss a number of issues surrounding the domestic game in India, including the merit of playing the Ranji Trophy quarter- and semi-finals over four days, and hosting all Ranji games at neutral venues.
In what could been seen as another positive step, the board asked the veteran domestic cricketer and former India opener Aakash Chopra to send in a paper with his suggestions and recommendations to improve domestic cricket. The paper will be presented at Friday's meeting in Mumbai, chaired by former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
The idea to pick Chopra's mind came from Ratnakar Shetty, the BCCI chief administrative officer. An avid reader, Shetty was impressed by Chopra's writings over the years in various media outlets, including ESPNcricinfo. But last November, when Rajasthan (the team Chopra represents as a professional) came to play in Mumbai during the Ranji Trophy league phase, Shetty suggested to him that a better forum would be to write directly to the board's technical committee. "Because the decisions are taken by them," Shetty explained, while speaking to ESPNcricinfo. "I told him since he was still playing his points would prove useful." Chopra finally sent in his paper earlier this week.
Chopra's paper is exhaustive with elaborate recommendations. Shetty said the points have been passed to the technical committee. "My paper is all about whatever is plaguing domestic cricket and it is quite comprehensive," Chopra told ESPNcricinfo.
The key issues Chopra has raised are the points system currently points in place, the quality of pitches, and the role and relevance of tournaments like the Duleep Trophy. Chopra, who has always been blunt in his opinion pieces on domestic cricket, said that his paper stressed upon the solutions, too, without just harping about what ails the game.
"If we can correct these things, the rest would take care of itself," Chopra said. "If you talk about pitches, everyone knows that we must produce lively and sporting tracks."
Consequently, in a radical move, the board's working committee recommended that the league matches during the Ranji Trophy be played at neutral venues, drawing a mixed response from the players. Shetty said the technical committee would deliberate on the matter tomorrow.
Chopra said that this scenario had been created only because the state associations refused to pay heed to the board's grounds and pitches committee's brief. "Unfortunately it is always about what suits their (individual states') players and what their position is during the league phase."
A prime example of a bad pitch was January's Ranji final played in Chennai between Tamil Nadu and defending champions Rajasthan. Though Rajasthan won the title, Chopra agreed that the dead and slow pitch was a bad exhibition of the current state of affairs with regards to playing surfaces. "We had the head of the pitch committee and the south zone member on the pitch committee [present], and we were playing at a Test centre. All of them could do absolutely nothing."
As a solution, Chopra has a better approach than playing at neutral venues: the grounds and pitches committee must be made accountable for each and every first-class ground in the country. "If you cannot monitor it successfully, the state association should be slapped with financial penalties for making highways."
Chopra felt the current points system - that gives teams three points for securing the first-innings lead in drawn games - made for boring cricket and rewarded mediocrity. "We have to do away with the first-innings lead points. If it is retained the points accrued should be minuscule. It should not have a huge impact towards the end of the season."
As a counter measure, Chopra felt it would be good to introduce points for batting and bowling as is the case in England. "Then there should be a huge bonus for an outright victory, both in terms of points as well as money."
The monetary reward, Chopra stressed, would come into play during the knockouts where teams can't have the points system and they would rely on the first innings lead. "I am 100% certain that teams would go that extra yard because every cricketer likes to have his kitty full."
Chopra was also concerned about the domestic calendar which kicks off in October and is choc-a-bloc with players participating in various tournaments till March before the IPL begins in early April. "The calendar is crowded and something needs to be done about it," he said.
Several cricket watchers including Harsha Bhogle have suggested that the Ranji Trophy should abolish the Elite and Plate group format, and the number of teams should be brought down from the existing 27 to 12. "There is a radical thought that fewer teams would mean better competition," Chopra said. "That is true. But is it is possible within our system?" Chopra has said that since that is not "plausible" he has some suggestions where the BCCI could make the most of the 27 teams and how the competition would be a level-playing field.
Chopra also endorsed the idea that knockout games should be played over five days. "My issue is that, in knockouts, a lead of one run cannot be a substantial differentiator between the quality of two sides," he explained.
According to Chopra, in a four-day game there is no time to bounce back if the opponent takes a lead, no matter how marginal. "If you eliminate that by having a five-day game there is more time if you have the intent. And in knockouts teams definitely would like to make a match out of it but there needs to be a realistic chance in terms of time."

"I have been playing Ranji Trophy for quite a while, and so this two-bouncer rule is nothing to be worried about. And as far as the use of two balls, it actually helps.

BCCI should look at grounds before deciding venues: Weed
still Weed seeks refuge on batsman giving him 'respect'..does he want them to gift their wickets away..for Pete's sake these are domestic batsman
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/s...w/12139387.cmsHarbhajan has been struggling to take wickets in domestic games recently as he tries to make a national comeback. The way back for the 31-year-old has not been easy with only two wickets from five ties in the North Zone qualifying matches in five encounters.
After a lengthy net session on Sunday, where the swing of his willow was more pronounced than the turn of his deliveries, Harbhajan told TOI that he was slowly finding his way back. “I have started bowling after three months. It hasn’t been easy but I am happy with the way the ball is coming out of the hand,” he said.
So far Harbhajan is averaging 92.5 for his two wickets at a strike-rate of 129 but that doesn’t concern him. “The wickets column has been a bit barren but that’s not bothering me. I have managed to bowl a lot of overs and in domestic cricket the batsmen tend to give you a lot of respect when you are an international bowler. It means the batsmen are just content to play you out which makes it harder on slow surfaces,” the Punjab skipper said.
Would be fun if Rahul Sharma gets to out bowl him on the same 'slow' surface/against batsman who refuse to throw their wickets away

BCCI to solicit players' views on domestic cricket
The BCCI will solicit the views of current Ranji Trophy captains and coaches on senior domestic cricket at a meeting in Mumbai on March 22, the board has said. The board used to hold an annual meeting at the end of each season with players and coaches, but the practice had been discontinued for a few years.
The meeting will give the players and support staff the chance to air their views on the domestic game, potentially ranging from the kind of ball that is used (Kookaburra or SG) to the quality of pitches to whether Ranji games should be played over four or five days. "The views of the captains and coaches, with regard to senior domestic cricket, will be discussed during the conclave," Sanjay Jagdale, the BCCI secretary, said in a statement.
The meeting comes at a time when the BCCI's technical committee has recommended a number of prospective changes to domestic cricket. The committee, chaired by the former India captain Sourav Ganguly, has recommended a revamp of the domestic calendar, including advancing the Duleep Trophy to the beginning of the season, playing the Ranji Trophy knockouts over five days and revising the points system in the case of incomplete matches where a team fails to take the first-innings lead. The recommendations still need to be approved by the board's working committee, if they are to be implemented.
Sairaj Bahutule, the captain of Vidarbha, welcomed the board's decision to revive the meeting this year. "Players and coaches are getting involved, this interaction is very good," he told ESPNcricinfo. Bahutule, who has also captained Mumbai, said it was important for the players to have the opportunity to present their idea and opinions on the game. He also felt it would give the representatives of teams in the Plate league a chance to draw attention to their concerns and possibly put forward ideas that could improve their standard of cricket.

From Cricinfo:
Ranji points system, pitches discussed at BCCI conclave
Playing on uncovered pitches, incentivising wins by tweaking the Ranji Trophy points system, scheduling Ranji knockouts at neutral venues, increasing the number of rest days between games, increasing the number of bouncers allowed per over in first-class cricket; these were all ideas proposed at a BCCI conclave for domestic captains and coaches, in Mumbai.
With team officials from nearly 27 states in attendance, the meeting was chaired by BCCI president N Srinivasan along with Sanjay Jagdale and Ratnakar Shetty, the board secretary and chief-administrative officer respectively. The conclave, a concept that had been discontinued a few years ago, made a resounding comeback according to some participants, who said there had been fruitful discussions.
One of most important discussions in this year's conclave concerned the revamping of the points system in the Ranji Trophy. WV Raman, the former India opener and current Bengal coach, suggested there was a need to encourage teams to win games outright. Under the current points system, once a team takes the first-innings lead they sit back, he said. "My suggestion was if a team gets a first-innings lead then give them the impetus to go for an outright win by allowing them to retain the three points even if they lose the game. The team that wins will get four points."
According to the existing rules, a team that takes a first-innings lead gets three points if the match ends in a draw, with the opponent getting one point. An outright win is worth five points with an additional bonus point available for an innings victory or ten-wicket win. According to Raman's formula, a team would secure three points once they took a first-innings lead, regardless of the result, and would then chase a further four points for a win.
"It will give the teams the drive to challenge the opponents and make sporting declarations," Raman said.
The other topic which saw animated discussion was that of uncovered pitches. Bishan Singh Bedi, the former India captain and current Jammu & Kashmir coach, said playing on uncovered pitches would toughen up domestic batsmen and simultaneously negate home advantage in matches. The idea met some opposition, particularly, according to Hyderabad coach Sunil Joshi, from the batsmen and coaches at the conclave.
"In domestic cricket the quality of bowling is bad while the batsmen continue to bat on for days," Bedi said. "The uncovered pitches will give the bowlers some encouragement."
According to Joshi, a better idea would be to use uncovered pitches at the Under-19 and Under-22 levels. "That would allow the youngsters to negotiate variable bounce, moisture, dew and a variety of other factors. It could be a good learning experience not only for the youngsters but also for the coaches," Joshi said.
During the BCCI's technical committee meeting last month, Sourav Ganguly and his nine-member panel had struck down the suggestion of playing Ranji matches at neutral venues, an idea that had come out of the BCCI working committee meeting. The technical committee had recommended carrying on with the existing home-and-away format during the league phase.
During the conclave, many coaches and captains supported the idea of knockout matches being played at neutral grounds, saying it would guard against any bias a home-team curator might have while preparing a pitch. However, Raman pointed out that the home team lost in both semi-finals and the final this Ranji season. "So you can't take it for granted that the home side will tweak things in their favour," Raman said. Also, Raman said, the fact that BCCI grounds and pitches committee officials were present to overlook pitch preparations during the knockout phase was a good enough assurance that tracks would be fair to both sides.
Raman also suggested at the conclave that fast bowlers be allowed to bowl three bouncers in an over in first-class cricket. "It would give the fast bowlers an added weapon and also help batsman counter short-pitch bowling," Raman said. It was an extension, Raman said, of the technical committee's decision to allow two bouncers in an over during domestic one-day tournaments.
There was also a unanimous opinion among the captains and coaches that a four-day break between matches during the Ranji season was needed as opposed to the prevailing three-day breaks.
Ganguly's committee had suggested that Kookaburra balls continue being used during the Duleep Trophy. That idea did not find favour at the conclave, as members suggested playing with SG Test balls would be better. "What is the point of playing with a Kookaburra ball when the domestic players play the Ranji season with SG balls," Joshi said. "Also, in the next 18 months India will be playing only at home so it would be much better to use SG during the Duleep Trophy too."
Kookaburra balls are used for the domestic 50-over and 20-over competitions, and it was recommended that teams be given more balls to practise with, well in advance of the tournaments. "Normally we are given a few Kookaburra balls two days before the tournament. How do you expect the bowlers to get used to it?" one of the coaches said. Another idea discussed was the introduction of a league phase in the Duleep and Deodhar Trophy.
Joshi and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, the captain of Rajasthan, winners of the last two Ranji Trophies, proposed the idea of having just one group in both Elite and Plate divisions, increasing the number of games each team would play in the league phase, and thus giving them more chances to qualify for the knockouts. "So you play about 14 matches in the Elite division, and 11 in Plate. Then you could have the top four or the top two from each group progress to the quarterfinals or the semi-finals," Joshi said.
That idea, though, was in contradiction to the agreed-upon notion that players needed more rest. "On the one hand people wanted the rest period increased, but at the same time they were requesting more cricket in an already packed calendar," one of the captains who attended the meeting said.

Tamil Nadu cricketer PK Dharma dies at 20
PK Dharma, a Tamil Nadu cricketer, has died at the age of 20. Police say they suspect it to be a case of suicide.
Dharma, who has played two List A matches for Tamil Nadu, was found hanging in his house in Chennai on Sunday afternoon, according to reports. The day before, he'd played a three-day Tamil Nadu Cricketers' Association first division final for his club Globe Trotters against Vijay CC at the Chidambaram Stadium.
"He was a promising youngster who turned into a fine allrounder," Sridharan Sriram, who has played for India and is captain of the Globe Trotters team, was quoted as saying by Times of India. "We (team members) didn't know much about his personal life, but this was an extreme step. It is a sad moment for us all."
"I have seen his development over the past five or six years. In these days of the IPL and the opportunity that it offers to domestic cricketers, I was expecting Dharma to make a mark for himself," former Tamil Nadu batsman M Senthilnathan, who is also the Globe Trotters coach, said.
Dharma, who made his List A debut in February 2011, made it to the limited-overs team after an injury to L Balaji. "I was injured and he replaced me," Balaji, who led Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy last season, said. "I haven't played alongside him but from whatever I have seen of him the boy had promise."
"He was an upcoming player, this is very unfortunate and a loss to Tamil Nadu cricket," Kasi Viswanathan, the TNCA secretary, said.

Structural Changes in Domestic Tournaments
The BCCI's technical committee has recommended that structural changes be made to the Ranji Trophy, India's premier first-class tournament, by doing away with the existing Elite and Plate divisions and rearranging the 27 teams into three groups of nine each.
The committee's other recommendations for domestic cricket include increasing the points for outright wins in the Ranji Trophy, allowing Ranji knockout games to go into a sixth day to produce a result, allowing bowlers two bouncers per over in one-day cricket and one bowler 12 overs.
The existing Ranji Trophy format, which replaced the zonal system in 2002-03, has teams divided into Elite and Plate League, and into two more sub-groups. Six teams from Elite and two from Plate make it to the quarter-finals. If the BCCI's working committee ratifies the recommendations, the tournament will have three groups. The BCCI is yet to finalise the exact criterion for division, but it is expected that group A will be the strongest and C the weakest. This will ensure every team gets eight matches at least; presently eight teams play seven league matches each, seven teams play six each and the remaining 12 get five each.
Three teams each from A and B, and two from C, will make it to the quarter-finals. The quarters and semi-finals, four-day matches at present, will be played over five days, and if a first-innings lead has not been achieved by then, they will go into a sixth day. If a first-innings lead has not been established by the sixth, the winner will be decided by a coin toss.
The committee also made recommendations to incentivise outright wins in league matches. If they are ratified, outright wins will be worth six points as opposed to five. The bonus point, which accrues on ten-wicket or innings victories, will remain.
Another important recommendation is for bowlers to be allowed two bouncers an over and for one bowler to have a 12-over quota in one-day matches. The field restrictions, though, won't follow the changes recommended by the ICC in international cricket.
India's domestic calendar was shuffled as well. The Irani Cup is likely to be played at the end of the season, and the Duleep Trophy at the start. There could be two Irani Cup matches this season as a result: Rajasthan (2011-12 champions) v Rest of India, and this season's champion v Rest of India. The Challenger Trophy has also been restructured. One of its three teams could be the winner of India's domestic one-day competition, the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Sourav Ganguly, the head of BCCI's technical committee, said there would also be an emphasis on producing good quality pitches. Anil Kumble, who was a special invitee to the meeting, said these changes would provide better structure to the Ranji Trophy.
"Besides giving each team an equal number of matches home and away, this format brings in more competition as teams will have an equal chance of making it to the top two of their respective groups," Kumble told the BCCI's website. "We believe the home and away format gives that incentive for the state associations to organise four home matches in the centres they want. As the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association it gives me the opportunity to take the game outside of Bangalore and develop it in the smaller centres."
Key Changes
27 teams be divided into three groups, instead of two in the existing Ranji format
Each team gets to play a minimum of eight Ranji games
Knockout games to be five-day fixtures, with an extra day available to encourage result
Outright wins worth six points instead of five
Bowlers permitted to bowl two bouncers an over
One bowler permitted to bowl 12 overs in one-dayers

What structural changes? 27 teams cant be reduced because of vote politics so this is just window dressing. Group C is nothin but Plate group. What has happened is more weak teams in the new "Elite" group and more easy scoring opportunities for Elite group players. Thumbsdown.

Equal number of home and away matches isnt thoughtful either. Under current rules, if TN play Karnataka at Bangalore this year, the next time they meet up, they have to play in TN. Under the new rules, home and away cannot be so equitable over the years - this means that theortetically - and inevitably, practically - the powerful associations can end up rigging the schedule to have home matches in crucial matches irrespective of what happened last year. As long as Seenu mama is powerful, TN will benefit. But Seenu mama kaalathukkappuRam, all northies will "solli adippEnadi" at Tn only, using this rule.

Cricinfo profiles Baba as one of the 5 players to look out for..St.Bedes should hold some record in churning out cricketers...Ramaiah of TN cricket
http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-unde...ry/576637.htmlBaba Aparajith, an allrounder who bowls offspin, is one of four cricketers to have played all 15 matches since this India Under-19 team began its competitive run in Visakhapatnam in September and October 2011. During that tournament, which also involved teams from Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies, he took 22 wickets at an average of 10.68; he had two five-wicket hauls in seven matches. Aparajith also made 140 runs in five innings at an average of 46. His wicket-taking wasn't as prolific in the quadrangular in Australia and the Asia Cup - eight wickets in eight ODIs - but he made useful contributions with the bat, including a 90 in the tied Asia Cup final against Pakistan in Kuala Lumpur.
He began the U-19 World Cup warm-ups with a duck against Sri Lanka but made 83 against Afghanistan. Both his ten-over spells were economical - 2 for 30 and 1 for 36. As someone who can bat in the top half of the order and bowl ten overs, Aparajith gives this side balance. He's one of several Indian players with first-class experience, having played four Ranji Trophy matches for Tamil Nadu in 2011-12.
Having played for St Bede's Anglo Indian High School in Chennai, an institution renowned for its quality cricket teams, Aparajith is a product of age-group cricket in Tamil Nadu. He represented the state at U-15 and U-16 level in 2007 and 2008.

Why Badrinath is not the man to replace Laxman
by Ashish Magotra
It was August 2008, a frustrated Badrinath lashed out in the media that despite scoring heavily during the India-A tours to Australia and South Africa and being the second top scorer in domestic cricket, behind Gautam Gambhir last season, he didn’t get a chance to represent his country.
“Forget about the performance during the Emerging Players Tournament. Even before that I scored heavily during India-A series against Australia and South Africa and the only player to have done better than me in domestic competition was Gautam Gambhir,” Badrinath said.
“It baffled me when Manoj Tiwary went to Australia. But still I kept my cool. Now it is Virat Kohli. This is really going nowhere. None of the selectors have told me where I stand. They should allow me to fail by picking me in the side. If I am unable to prove my worth, I will be a fringe player all my life,” he had added.
Could the selectors have chosen someone over Badrinath? Reuters
Indeed, starting around 2005-06, Badrinath was one of India’s most consistent batsmen at the first-class level. Year after year, he was putting on the big runs and year after year, the selectors continued to ignore him. His frustration was justified and his anger was genuine.
So perhaps it’s ironical to see him being picked into Indian team on the back of one of his worst Ranji seasons. In six matches last season, Badrinath – who was coming back from a shoulder injury – scored 292 runs at an average of 35.39.
The 2010-11 season, in comparison, had seen him score big runs to the tune of 933 runs at 131.71. But he was ignored then and he has been picked now. Strange are the ways of the selectors. At 32, Badrinath isn’t the youngest player around either.
And in picking Badrinath, the selectors have chosen to ignore the big run-scorers of last season’s Ranji trophy competition. It’s the same story all over again – just this time the man with the main role isn’t Badrinath.
The 24-year-old Robin Bist scored 1034 runs at 86.16 and was the batting mainstay of the champions Rajasthan. He has a steady presence at the wicket too – in much the same manner as say a Badrinath.
Mumbai’s Suryakumar Yadav is just 21 and loves playing his shots which can sometimes lead to his downfall but he has all the shots in the book and can change the flow of the match. Last season, he made 754 runs at 68.54.
Manoj Tiwary has been in pretty good form as well. He has been in and out of the side and has already experienced the ups and downs of international cricket. But at 26, he seems ready to make his mark. Last season, he scored 595 runs at an average of 148.75.
Even a batsman like Ambati Rayudu, who has impressed since his comeback into the BCCI fold, made 390 runs at 48.75 last season.
Is it time for all these players to come out and speak out against the selectors, who seem to be far from professional about their jobs? It would nice if the five wise men could every once in a while display their wisdom.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly felt that the selectors didn’t handle Laxman’s retirement well. A very valid argument but they haven’t gone about choosing his replacement in the Indian team very well either. A look at the Indian team for the New Zealand Test series shows that they already have plenty of middle-order batsmen – Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Suresh Raina and Ajinkya Rahana. All younger than Badrinath, all in line for a place in the playing XI before him so what purpose have the selectors met by picking him?
Picking a younger player would have at least helped the Indian team have a few more options. As we know, there is probably one more big retirement that we are likely to see in the next year or so – though we don’t expect it to happen in as understated a manner as Laxman’s.

McGrath takes charge of MRF Pace Foundation
Glenn McGrath has been appointed director of the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai, replacing Dennis Lillee, who has held the post since its inception in 1987. McGrath, currently in India, has called it a "great honour."
"I know it won't be possible to replace someone like Dennis Lillee," McGrath said. "His legacy will be hard to live up to, but I will try my best in my role as the director at the foundation.
"The academy's contribution to world cricket is immense. I have trained there under Lillee and have experienced the facilities on offer."
The foundation has played a role in shaping the careers of several of the world's best fast bowlers, including Brett Lee and Zaheer Khan. Lillee, who spent 25 years with the organisation, hoped the foundation would continue its good work under McGrath's leadership.
"McGrath is the perfect choice to carry the vision of the Foundation forward," Lillee said. "I am happy for him and wish him all the best in his new role. I am certain that the MRF Pace Foundation will produce many more international fast bowlers under his guidance."
Lillee expressed satisfaction with the results of his association with the foundation and said that the decision to leave was not easy. "It has been a long journey. We had to begin from scratch, building facilities and slowly developing into a world-class academy. Our efforts and hard work have paid off and it pleases me to see bowlers trained at the foundation leading the Indian attack."

just can't see it happening
But November 2 promises to be a day when cricket lovers at various centres would love to take a day off and plan a long weekend of cricket feast. On view could be stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Gautam Gambhir and M.S. Dhoni, provided the India captain is prepared to travel to Jammu for a Ranji match.
With India’s first Test against England scheduled at Ahmedabad from November 15, the Ranji Trophy openers (Nov. 2 to 5 and Nov. 9 to 12) can well be utilised for keeping the players match-fit. Old timers would support the view.
Sehwag, if he is available, informs the selectors in time. It also ensures others follow suit. It is understood that Sehwag, Gambhir, Kohli and Ishant Sharma will figure in the Delhi team when it plays Uttar Pradesh at Meerut from November 2 to 5 and possibly the next match at home against Odisha.
The Tamil Nadu-Karnataka match at Chennai (from Nov. 9) may also see top quality action involving international stars. The Irani Cup (from Sept. 21 to 25) will be followed by the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy (Sept. 29 to Oct. 2) and Duleep Trophy (Oct. 6 to 25).
The first Duleep fixture (North v West) at Chennai might also see some star appearances before the big guns fly off to South Africa for the Champions League (Oct. 13 to 28).

Irfan Pathan injures knee, out for at least one game
Irfan Pathan, the India limited-overs allrounder, may have rescued Baroda from 88 for 4 in the first innings with a century that got them three first-innings point, but he has injured his knee in the process, and will be out for at least one Ranji Trophy game. He is expected to visit Bangalore's National Cricket Academy (NCA) for rehabilitation. Baroda's other India quick, Munaf Patel, is already out with an injured knee. They play Vidarbha, who posted an outright win over Haryana, next, at home from November 9 onwards.
Irfan scored 121 and 38 against Karnataka in the season opener, bowled 25 overs for two wickets in the first innings, but didn't take the field during the second innings, which was academic anyway given the lack of time to force a result. "Irfan was suffering from swollen knee from second day of the match," Baroda coach Sanath Kumar told Times Of India. "His injury has aggravated and hence he will have to undergo treatment."
According to the newspaper, Irfan looked in pain almost throughout the game. "I cannot say how much time Irfan would take to get fit. It all depends on his rehabilitation at National Cricket Academy," Kumar said. "He suffered from the swollen knee probably due to playing continuously over the last few weeks." Irfan had only recently made a successful comeback to the national side as an allrounder in ODIs and T20Is.
This brings into sharper focus the unforgiving Ranji Trophy schedule. Add to it the India A game against England A, and Irfan played seven straight days of first-class cricket. There is no time to relax between Ranji matches either. Some of them are being played three days apart, and some provide a gap of four days. With the large number of domestic tournaments played in a limited window of Indian winter, the Ranji Trophy is played over a little less than three months. The champion side will have played about 47 days of first-class cricket over that period.
