1983-2011 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 ------------------------------------------------------ So finally Wasim Jaffer is dropped. Where on earth is Munaf? What is his situation? And Yusuf Pathan is also dumped for good, it seems! Can't see the name of any shining seamer or spinner here. Rkt, can you help here? West Zone won 2008/09 and 2009/10 Duleep Trophy under Wasim Jaffer. in 2009/10 Duleep Trophy final, Yusuf Pathan hit unbeaten 210 in the fourth inning of just 190 balls which lead to West Zone beating South Zone by just 3 wicket. Yusuf Pathan is injured. Munaf Patel played only 1 practice match out of 2 at NCA, he wasn't fully match fit thats why he was overlooked for ODI squad and probably also this squad. Link to comment
Old guy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 :woot: You actually know how these teams/players did or you googled it?

Chandan Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Natraj Behera named East Zone captain for Duleep Trophy Natraj Behera named East Zone captain for Duleep Trophy PTI | Jan 18, 2012 KOLKATA: Orissa batsman Natraj Behera was named captain to lead a 15-member East Zone squad who will take on West Zone in their Duleep Trophy opener at Valsad (Gujarat) from January 27-30. Behera was named skipper in place of stylish Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary who was picked for the upcoming tri-series in Australia. Orissa coach and former India seamer Debasis Mohanty will coach the East Zone side. The squad has five from Bengal including wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami in place of Wriddhiman Saha who is also doing national duty in the ongoing Test series Down Under. Jharkhand's Ishank Jaggi will be Behera's deputy as the two state associations have three players each in the squad. Assam too have three players in the side including former Maharashtra opening batsman Dheeraj Jadhav and medium-pacer Abu Nechim Ahmed. Tripura have the sole representation in Subhrajit Roy. Squad: Natraj Behera (captain), Biplab Samantaray and Basanta Mohanty (all Orissa); Anustup Majumdar, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Shreevats Goswami (wk), Ashoke Dinda and Mohammad Sami Ahmed (all Bengal); Ishank Jaggi (vice-captain), Manish Vardhan and Shahbaz Nadeem (all Jharkhand); Dheeraj Jadhav, Abu Nachim Ahmed and Gokul Sharma (all Assam); Subhrajit Roy (Tripura); Stand-byes: Rana Dutta (Tripura) and Abhilash Mallick (Odisha).

Magneto Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great batting side - will get all out in 40 overs. The captain has played 12 matches in his career and doesn't even average 40. They could have at least made Laxmi Ratan Shukla captain. Link to comment

Sid Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jaggi ,vice captain :woot:.Nice to see him get a responsibility.I have always liked his batting,elegant strokeplayer.Hope he scores well. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very similar to the squad I predicted. Wonder if Saurabh Tiwary has been left out due to bad form or due to injury? Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Jaggi and Jadhav are ok right? Dheeraj Jadhav is an experienced stalwart and possibly the best batsman. I really dunno much about Jaggi, the last time I saw him he was playing for some IPL team where the players had Chipli, Jaggi, Moti, Khoti kind of names. Dunno which team that was. The pitch will offer good bounce and swing, but West Zone has a bunch of trundlers only. But Ishwar Chaudhury seems to be a decent swing bowler, and these Oriya and Jharkhandi young guns might capitulate pretty easily. The keeper (Srivats Goswami) is talented and a good strokeplayer, but the fecker has not crossed 50 is any of the Ranji matches. :mad: Link to comment

Magneto Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 :cantstop: good pace attack none the less :P They'll be tested against a very good batting lineup. The conditions will favour them, so they better perform well. Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Love the East Zone Pace bowling. They are spoiled for choice. Their batting sucks. West Zone even with their trundler attack will roll them over. Link to comment

Number Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 East Zone Pace bowling attack is seriously good. Hope all 3 pacers are in the XI and do well. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Duleep Trophy quarter-final will be played in Valsad So finally Wasim Jaffer is dropped. Where on earth is Munaf? What is his situation? And Yusuf Pathan is also dumped for good, it seems! Can't see the name of any shining seamer or spinner here. Rkt, can you help here? Unfortunately, West zone and as well as SZ have not been producing many potential seamers or fast bowlers in recent times and have been batting heavy. Fast bowlers are coming mostly from CZ, NZ or EZ. Link to comment
