Didn't know we had a player named Eden Apple Tom lol. Hoping that he makes his international debut.

Captained by a  Sachin Baby! No wonder .

Kerala team is a truly secular team - 5 Hindu sounding names, 3 Muslims and  3 Christians. You will never know, some of the Hindu sounding names could turn out to be Christians or Muslims. First time Ranji Final for Kerala. Quite an achievement

Used to think Sanju is Hindu due to first name. Might be a convert

Eden Apple Tom has been spoken about here earlier too..first time saw him bowl..he is 19yo..per records..bowling in 130s..in red ball cricket..

I dont see why he cant bowl in 140s the more he develops..will gain more control too..looks tallish too

Kerala have a slight chance but need to bowl out Vidharba before 350.

Yeah, made a mistake choosing to bowl in a final.

I think Vidarbha will get to 400 somehow, they've good batting till the last man here.

Nizar shouldn't have gotten out. Now they have 160 runs to chase with 3 batsman left against a stacked Vidarbha bowling and Harsh Dubey is the head of the snake.

[cowboysfan]

Dubey probably next good spin prospect we have and a better spinner than Axar.

trailing by 120 with 5 wkts, Kerala ahead at this point

they are playing well against Dubey,that kind of turn will be too much for some present indian Test players.

Kerala deserves to lose for playing so defensively when they had wickets in hand. This is what happens.

You can put it that way, or you can say Kerala is fighting tooth and nail, not willing to give an inch to Vidarbha.

[cowboysfan]

1st innings lead won't mean much,there will be a result on this pitch 

[tweaker]

Tom has defended 46 balls so far

Kerala trailing by 43 runs

They were blocking out innocuous deliveries when they had plenty of wickets in hand and made no attempt to score

Sachin and Jalaj were rotating the strike often. Maybe not often enough. But after they fell the runs became less.
