Chandan Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 What a terrific knock from Dinesh Karthik!! He scored 153 runs of just 113 deliveries and has bailed out South single handedly! Only if he could keep as well too!! South's Yadav has failed miserably--how on earth did he he picked in the playing XI--whereas Central's Yadav has scalped 4, including Laxman and Dravid. The match is being played with Kookaburra ball and this guy is worth keeping an eye on! Only if we could know anything about him!! Score: 294/8 at tea.
Chandan Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 SZ is 329 all out. Umesh Yadav (please at least tell us if he is spinner or seamer, right arm bowler or left arm bowler) has the 5 fer. Hope Sree bowls well.
f.b.m Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Why did Piyush Chawla only bowl 4 overs? And why is Murali Kartik in the central zone team?
Chandan Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Looks like it was a green track and hence early swing of kookaburra accounted for the top six batsmen. On a green pitch you would not like to give Piyush Chawla many overs against a rampant Dinesh Karthik. Murali Karthik plays for Railways which comes under Central Zone.
Rajan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Why did Piyush Chawla only bowl 4 overs? because he was raped by Dinesh Karthik! ====================== And why is Murali Kartik in the central zone team? Murali Karthik represents Railways, thoug he is a chennai resident.traditionally Railways cricketers represent Central zone teams in duleep/deodhar trophy.may be the railways cricket association has a vote in central zone selector's selection.i remember central zone selectors vociferously pushing for the inclusion of Sanjay Bangar a few years back and also for Murali Karthik's selection in the one day team. ===========================

I want to see some green tracks in domestics, so we can figure out if those 300 hitting openers and/or middle order centurions of domestic cricket can score a good 70-80 runs on green ones. We need to eventually find folks who can tour NZ (not the current tour, but future), SA, etc.
Rajan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Is Murali Vijay hurt? Fellow opens for India' date=' puts on a respectable show, but is not in the SZ XI? I just don't get it.[/quote'] Murali Vijay has a hairline crack on his thumb, he could have played with some protective covering on the thumb, but unnecessary risk . so rested.

Rajan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 ^^ Arjun Yadav besides being a quota player just because of shivlal yadav's son, Arjun Yadav has also manhandled and abused the promising Ambati Rayudu after Rayudu quit Hyderabad cricket Association ranji team and joined Andhra ranji team.The very reason Rayudu was forced to chose ICL was because of Shivlal Yadav and Arjun Yadav duo.in indian domestic cricket, u just cant afford to antagonise the secretary and hope to represent the country/zone.poor Ambati Rayudu. he had so much potential. single handedly won the 3 match one day series for india when the youth team toured england with superb performances. promised a lot after that. but if Arjun yadav was the stubling block in his path, and Shivlal yadav is so selfish, how can Rayudu ever hope to represent indian A team or challenger teams!politics.
Rajan Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Where did you read this Rajan? Can you give me a link? read this a few days back in a bangalore news paper, u can google it.u would get it.in fact if my memory serves me right, the injury was sustained in practice.

I suppose if the track is green, we can see how Sreesanth is coming along.
Chandan Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Sree going for plenty of runs. Balaji seems to be bowling tightly. I can't imagine if the track can remain green after the sun beating hard for an entire day in Bangalore. Whatever moisture in the pitch, would have evaporated by now. And It was clear with how the SZ batsmen scored post lunch.

And It was clear with how the SZ batsmen scored post lunch. i dont know when u posted this.any way, sree may have settled down after conceding plenty of runs to end up with 13 runs off 4 overs, Balaji 11 off 6 overs. I dread at the sight of SS Shukla. he puts the fear of bowling to a door in the bowlers these days, hope he does not play another of his 12 hours innings! want to watch sreesanth pick up half a dozen wickets.
amits Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 and y isnt ravi teja in the south zone team whereas the sifarishi arjun yadav gets a chance
Show_stopper Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I was hoping that Anureet Singh would get a game for Central..heard lot of good things about him.
The Outsider Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Wow! That was quite a hammering from Dinesh Karthik. But these kind of pitches are just useless. From the reports it looks like there was lot of movement in the first 2 hours and then it has become a patta. With grass on the track it won't break up either, so it might just be a runfest from here on.
The Outsider Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 BTW, is the match being telecast live? On the cricinfo report, they have mentioned the bowling speeds, so I guess some channel is showing it?
