Jadeja is here to stay. There is no stopping him. He is "taulented" (ofcourse not the kind of taulent embraced in paki land).

Deodhar trophy : West zone crushes Central zone to enter the final Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja helped West Zone to a 226-run victory over Central Zone in the Deodhar Trophy semi-final at the Motibagh ground in Vadodara. More... West Zone enters final A. Joseph Antony VADODARA: It was searing heat from the sky till it rained sixes. Fifteen of them flooded the Motibaug Cricket Ground as West amassed 335 for eight and inflicted an ignominious 216-run defeat on Central Zone in their Deodhar Trophy semifinal on Monday. Half a dozen mighty heaves came from Yusuf Pathan, three from Ravindra Jadeja, two each from Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara and one each from Parthiv Patel and Dhaval Kulkarni. In the process, West busted a long-standing myth of the side batting second inevitably winning, after Central invited its opponent to take first strike. Early reversals Rattled by reversals right from the outset of its run-chase, Central reeled as it became a veritable procession to the pavilion by its batsmen. Some spilt catches were a blot on West's otherwise methodical win. Given its limited pace resources in Ajit Agarkar's absence, the spinners stepped in admirably to further pin the Central batsmen down. Left-armer Jadeja finished with splendid figures of 4.4-0-8-4. Earlier, Central's pace battery, so destructive against South just two days earlier, made little impact this time. Initially countering with some obdurate batting, there was a paradigm shift after West's total touched 100. Pujara and Rahane gave the bowling the long handle, setting up the platform for Pathan and his marauding mates to launch their assaults. Several shuffles and end-switches of a seven-pronged attack yielded fruit. Rahane aiming to rip Pankaj Singh apart, nicked a head-high delivery to wicket-keeper Ojha. By then, the opener had done his groundwork well, reducing the bowling to ordinary proportions. Productive partnership Characteristic of productive partnerships, Pujara departed shortly after, his pull off Pankaj pouched by mid-wicket Tanmay. The duet he had struck with Rahane saw the duo taking turns in smacking sixes and slamming boundaries. Pathan followed suit in this regard, smiting R.P. Singh towards the sight-screen to bring up West's 200 while sending his home crowd into raptures. Not to be left behind, Parthiv let one fly over long-on. Another skier flowed from Pathan, sailing over the mid-wicket tents, complemented by Parthiv's overhead glide off a short one, six and boundary in that order delighting a fairly large turnout. Evident from his tally, Pankaj was the pick of Central's bowlers, hostile as ever in a four-wicket haul. Little could be done to stop a rampaging Pathan, whose half a dozen sixes and four boundaries exploded from just 24 balls. Ravindra Jadeja also replicated the fireworks. The scores: West Zone: Chirag Pathak c Harpreet b Pankaj 5, Ajinkya Rahane c Ojha b Pankaj 76, Cheteshwar Pujara c Tanmay b Pankaj 86, Rohit Sharma b Pankaj 8, Yusuf Pathan b Tyagi 59, Parthiv Patel c Ojha b Tyagi 20, Ravindra Jadeja c Pankaj b R.P.

Deodhar Trophy : North Zone wins Deodhar Trophy defeating West in final Former Tasmania captain Dan Marsh will retire from first-class cricket at the end of the current Sheffield Shield match against Victoria. More... North Zone wins Deodhar Trophy A. Joseph Antony VADODARA: Yusuf Pathan whacked a thunderous half-century for West Zone but it wasn’t enough to stop North Zone’s Virat Kohli from lifting the Deodhar Trophy at the Motibaug ground in Baroda on Tuesday. In the title match, North emerged victorious by 49 runs. Regardless of the delivery, whether full toss or off good length, whirring with spin or spurred by speed, Yusuf Pathan (80, 39 balls, 3 x 4, 9 x 6) waded into the North Zone attack in the Deodhar Trophy final at the Motibaug Cricket Ground on Tuesday. Making a mockery of field settings, the Baroda batsman made the fieldsmen helplessly watch the ball soar skywards out of the arena and into the surrounding woods. Early setbacks Chasing North’s 267, Ajinkya Rahane (46) and Cheteshwar Pujara (33) provided a good platform but a middle order collapse — Parthiv Patel (1), Rohit Sharma (8) and Ravindra Jadeja (7) — saw Yusuf walking in much earlier than he would have anticipated. Soon it was 108 for six but Yusuf, who knows only to attack, went on the offensive without wasting time. The swashbuckling batsman hammered nine sixes and four boundaries during his 80 that came off 39 balls. Besides, he shared 105 runs for the seventh wicket with Mumbai’s Iqbal Abdulla (26 off 37; 1x4, 2x6). Trying to hit his 10th six, Yusuf was stumped by Uday Kaul off Mukesh Sharma. After his departure, North needed 11 balls to halt West Zone innings at 218, 49 short of the target. Sharma (5/59) and Rahul Dewan (4/18) shared nine wickets. However, his heroics were in vain as West crashed to a 49-run defeat. A near total top-order breakdown had the host, comfortable at 80 for one about a fourth of the way, skidding to 108 for six, not much later. But for Ajinkya Rahane's 46 and Cheteshwar Pujara's 33, all of West's frontline looked pathetic, failing even to reach double digits. In contrast to the towering Pathan, Iqbal Abdulla (28, 1 x 4, 2 x 6) looked little. Nonetheless, the quite dissimilar duo went about demolishing the North Zone bowlers in what could have been an object lesson for the full-fledged batsmen. Though left-arm spinner Mukesh Sharma (five for 59) and Rahul Dewan (four for 18) came in for much punishment, the two had the last laugh as they shepherded North to a comprehensive victory. Limited success In the morning, Parthiv Patel chose to chase. If it was West's plan to contain North's batting, it met with limited success. Shikhar Dhawan held firm despite the early exit of his opening partner Rahul Dewan, the former slamming half a dozen boundaries in his 60-ball 48. More importantly, he combined well with one-down batsman Uday Kaul to put up a 66-run partnership for the second wicket. Following Dhawan's departure for 48, rapped low on the pads by Pathan, Kaul continued the good work with Virat Kohli, their association worth 67. His stay spanning a minute more than two hours, studded with five boundaries, steadied the ship, that would later be rocked but never really threatened. West's pacemen made little headway, their contribution to the attack, less than a third. It was part-time off-spinner Rohit Sharma who got rid of Kaul, luring the latter to step out for Parthiv to do the rest. The tweakers kept things in check till the last wicket pair of Mukul Sharma and Jaskaran Singh added 35 in an unbroken stand. Jaskaran smashed three sixes on the trot, while Mukesh struck one too. The scores: North Zone: Shikhar Dhawan lbw b Yusuf 48, Rahul Dewan c Parthiv b Unadkat 15, Uday Kaul st. Parthiv b Rohit 67, Virat Kohli c Munaf b Abdulla 29, Mandeep Singh lbw b Rohit 10, Paras Dogra c Abdulla b Jadeja 24, Rajat Bhatia c Unadkat b Jadeja 20, Joginder Sharma b Yusuf 1, Mukesh Sharma (run out) 3, Bipul Sharma (not out) 12, Jaskaran Singh (not out) 25, Extras (b-4, lb-3, nb-2, w-4 ) 13, Total (for nine wkts. in 50 overs) 267. Fall of wickets: 1-22, 2-88, 3-155, 4-179, 5-180, 6-213, 7-223, 8-227, 9-232.
