9.20 am Delhi field v Maharashtra at the Roshanara Club Our senior editor Sharda Ugra has made the journey across the capital to the Roshanara Club ground, and she writes in from the Delhi chill: "As promised Delhi are fielding four pace bowlers along with Rajat Bhatia as the fifth. Vikas Tokas makes his Delhi Ranji debut, and unlike what was vaguely talked about yesterday, Vikas Mishra is not in the playing eleven. Delhi's batting has failed to cross 275 in four innings, and as much is expected of its seasoned pros Mithun Manhas, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhatia, as is from its young trio of batsmen Unmukt Chand, Vaibhav Rawal and Mohit Sharma.

10.15 am All happening at the Roshanara Maharashtra captain Rohit Motwani caught driving at gully by Unmukt Chand off Sumit Narwal. Maharashtra 37 for 4 v Delhi Sharda Ugra: "Narwal is bowling a superb length, and Tokas who is slightly quicker than him is getting more bounce. Kedar Jadhav has hit two boundaries in a row off Tokas, on either side of the wicket, one guided to third man and a stylish calming flick to the gap between midwicket and square leg. The Sabzi Mandi [station near the ground] train hoots in approval. Resistance!"

If you look at where India is going wrong, we need spinners who put more revs on the ball and bowlers who can generate more pace and that is the basic criteria.Fed on the domestic dust bowls and IPL Indian cricketers are short on application, bowlrs are playing safe not giving runs but not turning the balls much either, same with seamers who are not motivated on these tracks to bend their backs and loose pace, batters can only score runs on flat decks.
