Ranji Trophy 2012-13

10.30am - Siddhartha Talya at Wankhede Stadium Sanjay Bangar, the Railways captain, had said yesterday that seamers could expect some assistance from the pitch as it had a bit of grass cover. Just a short while before the toss, he walked to the pitch and had a close look at the surface. His three seamers, so far, have managed to nip the ball around – though there doesn’t seem to be any swing – and beat the bat. There have been edges that have gone past third slip and gully, but the Mumbai openers have, for the most part, been solid. They’ve picked up quick singles, defended well, occasionally played away from the body but have looked largely secure. And just as I type, Aditya Tare has driven Krishnakant Upadhyay down the ground for a boundary.

10.23am - Sehwag c Amir Khan b Praveen A circumspect Virender Sehwag has failed to last the first hour. Just after he looked like getting going with a cracking boundary, he edged Praveen Kumar through to the wicketkeeper Amir Khan. This was the seventh over of Praveen's first spell. So Raina has made up for that drop by getting Praveen to bowl an extra over. Sehwag 25 off 53, Delhi 39 for 1 after 12.2 overs

11.00am - captain Vinay Kumar off to good start Over in Baroda, R Vinay Kumar and Stuart Binny are putting Yusuf Pathan's home side through a proper working over. After 20 overs, Baroda are 29 for 2, with Vinay and Stuart Bnny taking a wicket each. Last evening, Vinay was packing up his bags to rush to Baroda after finishing the India A game against the English. He tweeted this is the first time in his career he is playing seven days in a row. Oh, for those timeless Tests. Here's what Vinay had to say before the start of the Ranji campaign: "The team has been doing well in the lead up to the season. We’ve played many tournaments and have done well too; we’ve won the Safi Darashah tournament, then won the Buchi Babu tournament in Chennai and did well in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Trophy too. We are hoping to carry forward the same kind of form into the Ranji Trophy season."

Is Jaffer opening for Mumbai today ? Middle order seems stacked for them with Rahane Sachin and. Robot.

11.10am - Gambhir lbw shouldering arms to Imtiaz Ahmed Both of India's Test openers have failed to create a huge impression. Gambhir is now out not offering a shot to right-arm quick, Imtiyaz Ahmed. He lasted a little over an hour and a half. Imtiyaz, if you might remember Sharda Ugra's preview from yesterday, is the man everyone says is the quickest among all fast bowlers on display in this match. Gambhir lbw Imtiyaz 32 (63b, 96minutes). Virat Kohli, Sharda tells me, walks out to a loud whistling welcome. He joins Unmukt Chand, who is 18 not out

[jeeves]

gambhir out

[SLICKR392]

Gambhir gone. :facepalm: Openers fails yet again

[Old guy]

Future of Indian cricket batting in FSK:hmmm:

11.20pm - young batsmen update In Kolkata, Mumbai and Ghaziabad, the young Indian batsmen, who will be there or thereabouts for the next few years, are batting. The fall of second wicket at Eden Gardens has brought in Manoj Tiwary, who scored 93 against England A only three days ago. Ajinkya Rahane is in at Wankhede Stadium, and, Sid Talya tells me, has just been dropped by Murali Kartik at second slip, off the bowling of left-arm quick Hardik Rathod. Over in Ghaziabad, India's Test openers, who still average 53 as a Test opening partnership, are out for 25 and 32, but now Virat Kolhi is in.

England must be licking their lips

[GautiMaan]

another past bowler wow

Jaffer is not playing the first two Ranji matches as he is performing Hajj.

Kohli out now, that Ghaziabad track has always been a bowler's delight especially in early winters. Weather in NCR has been chilly and cloudy today morning, ideal for UP's swing and seam merchants. A PK in form would have eaten the top order alive, but alas he has somehow lost that sting he had couple of years back in his bowling.

[Crookbond]

Venkatesh Prasad is UP's coach I guess.
