Bombay Ranji OD discussion

[Mr. Wicket]

Mumbai battered Saurashtra with the bat with a sight that gave all Bombay/India fans great hope; Abhishek Nayar belting his maiden List A ton. Nayar made 102 in 88 balls. Before the world could celebrate the achievement, the first sign of the apocalypse came upon us. Ajit Agarkar led Bombay's defense of their total with 8 overs, 5 maidens, 11 runs and 2 wickets. Yes. Agarkar in a one day game bowled 5 maidens and finished with an e/r below 1.5 This follows Robin Peterson taking a test five for. The world is ending.

Bombay Ranji OD discussion http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ranjioneday/engine/current/match/306454.html Take that Maharashtra! And go Rahane - first List A ton, and what a knock too. :yay:

[Bumper]

Moider, moider! :D

For a moment I thought Akhtar had turned commentator!

Yeah, but in this case it's understandable. In the strongest group, Bombay needed a really strong win to ensure they safely got to the KO round after losing to Gujarat earlier. So no surprise that Rahane/Jaffer/etc would have gone hard from ball 1 and tried to demolish Maharashtra. Job well done. :D

also a thing to note here is that 182 runz which maharashtra scored were in just 28 bloody overz OMG

[Mr. Wicket]

Yeah, they were in the same situation as Bombay. Win or get KOed. Had to go for it. 80/5 after 10.2 overs. :haha:

[Mr. Wicket]

BTW, so refreshing to see that big score from Amol here. At age 35, he's a far better and more complete one day batsman than certain people travelling with the ODI side.

[Lurker]

Good to see Agarkar still going at 6.75 an over. Gets full mark for consistency.

[Ram]

Flat tracks, fat scores.. :P

[Mr. Wicket]

Lurks, did you see his bowling figures in the game v. Saurashtra? Scared the living hell out of me.

[Lurker]

^^ Actually no Salil, I dont quite follow as much domestic cricket these days. When you say he scared you I am guessing he turned in one helluva performance? As in 2-15 in 10 overs???

[Mr. Wicket]

Better. 8-5-11-2 And this was also a game where Mumbai racked up a huge total at first (Abhishek Nayar slammed his first List A ton)

[Lurker]

Hmm thats quite un-Agarkar like. He turns in such performance after playing nearly 200 games and leaking runs at 5 plus?

[Mr. Wicket]

The Saurashtra players must have been intimidated by all the fire in his eyes and fist pumping.

[Chandan]

Wonder how I missed this thread. BTW, Rahane broke Sachin's record of List A highest score with that knock of 187.

[Mr. Wicket]

I take it you mean for all Indian batsmen - Richards and Anwar have higher List A scores.

[maaki]

So whats the take on this guy Rahane.. He has scored a lot of runs in the recently concluded Ranji and duleep trophy.. 19 yrs old.. ,from his pictures on crickinfo, very slightly built.. Anybody seen him bat.. Is he a future india prospect
