The Outsider Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 13 overs for 61 without a wicket. South African batsmen must be cursing themselves for not hammering Ishant more than they did.

He has done that every time he is interviewed/come across media. Never seen a player wearing religion on his sleeve.

fineleg Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 It is not that easy to start a match thread. You did not put a preview too for such an important match! Aage se' date=' don't be so lazy![/quote'] There are all kinds of match threads, each one does it in their own style. Unless this was a funny remark @SJ, it is just preachy. Other posters can post previews or squads. Does not have to be the match thread starter only. Are we going to write a syntax for match threads, LOL
fineleg Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 13 overs for 61 without a wicket. South African batsmen must be cursing themselves for not hammering Ishant more than they did. I hope the selectors dont pick Ishant Sharma for any India matches until he shows a dramatically different performance in domestic matches or A-tours/County cricket. He just bowls trash most of the times these days.
vvvslaxman Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Badri is unstoppable this season. Close to 1200 runs at an average of 118.

rkt.india Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Ishant Sharma really struggling... Who can help him??? I can help him, but who will listen to me:cantstop:

Chandan Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 FINAL, DAY TWO Badrinath puts South in a strong position LOSING THEIR COOL: Ishant Sharma (left) and Robin Uthappa were involved in a verbal duel on the second day of the Duleep Trophy final at Visakhapatnam on Thursday. South Zone captain S. Badrinath steered his team to a strong position on the second day of its Duleep Trophy final against North Zone at the ACA-VDCA stadium here on Thursday. The experienced Badrinath (97 batting, 10x4, 1x6) took South to 298 for three in reply to North's 337. He added 136 for the third wicket with Manish Pandey as South took a firm grip on the contest. South are just 39 runs behind North Zone's 337, and with Badrinath still at the wicket and plenty of batting to come, they will be aiming to take a commanding lead. Badrinath, who began cautiously, opened out against the spinners. Badrinath was watchful against North's seamers, and hit just one boundary in the first 49 deliveries he faced. Once the spinners came on, he cut loose, smashing North captain Amit Mishra for a four and a six down the ground in the 39th over, before hitting him for two boundaries on the leg side. After a steady period, Badrinath accelerated again towards the end of the day, playing two glorious drives to the off-side fence off seamer Yashpal Singh. He lofted Amit Mishra over the ropes before stylishly driving Yashpal Singh to the boundary twice. Though he was on 90 with a few overs left, Badrinath preferred to bat out the day rather than go for his personal landmark. That left him on 90 with four overs still left in the day. A less experienced batsman may have gotten anxious and attempted a rash stroke, but Badrinath is no stranger to being near a first-class century - he has 26 - and he was patient enough to play out the last few overs. At the other end, B. Sumanth started to get into his stride, the fourth wicket pair adding 55 so far. Bright start South began brightly with Abhinav Mukund and Robin Uthappa putting on 85 for the first wicket. South's healthy run-rate of 4.25 was aided by aggressive half-centuries by Robin Uthappa and Manish Pandey. Uthappa had a strike-rate of 104.76 in his 66, and laid into North's seamers early. Uthappa (66, 8x4, 2x6) and Abhinav (34) scored runs at a quick pace. Ishant Sharma, the India seamer's, sixth over went for 14 runs as Uthappa hit him straight back over his head for four and then pulled him for six over square leg. Ishant ended up conceding 61 runs in his 13 overs on the day. Uthappa reached his half-century of 54 balls and celebrated it by hitting three consecutive boundaries off Sumit Narwal. His dismissal, though, was disappointing, as he top-edged an attempted pull off Joginder Sharma to mid off. Uthappa had been involved in an 85-run opening stand with Abhinav Mukund, who was out for 34 to Narwal. Manish Pandey (74, 5x4, 5x6), who batted at No. 4, played some sizzling strokes during his knock. He clobbered Mishra and Mithun Minhas for sixes, but his blistering effort came to an end when he lofted Narwal to Ishant at mid-off. Pandey was also guilty of throwing his wicket away after a stroke-filled innings. He attempted one shot too many, and lofted Narwal straight to Ishant at mid-off, when he was on 74. South were 243 for 3 at that stage, and North were denied any chance of a fightback by Badrinath, who remained solid till the end of the day. Badrinath was the top-scorer in the Ranji season in which he scored 922 runs at an average of 131.71, and appears to have carried that form over to the Duleep Trophy. Wrapping up the tail In the morning, South did not allow the North tail to wag. North would have been satisfied with their batting performance in the first session, as they added 71 to their overnight score of 266 for 7. Joginder started by hitting R Vinay Kumar for consecutive boundaries off the first two balls of the day. Badrinath made what proved to be a successful decision to bring left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha into the attack in the eighth over of the morning. Ojha baffled Joginder with one that pitched on middle, went past the edge and hit the top of off. Overnight centurion Paras Dogra responded by taking three boundaries off the next over from Vinay Kumar, but then hit Ojha straight to mid-on to fall for 167. Narwal, who proved with his two half-centuries in the semi-final that he can be useful with the bat, hit seamer Sreenath Aravind for two fours and a six in one over, but eventually became Aravind's third victim of the innings, losing his middle stump while attempting a slog. North had ensured they went past the 300-run mark, but the response from South left their total looking quite a few short. Paras Dogra was sent back early as the visiting side was restricted to 337. Dogra added 20 to his overnight score before being dismissed for 167 (20x4, 5x6). Unsavoury incident The day was marred by a fracas between Uthappa and Ishant. It was the usual case of a batsman being blocked intentionally or unintentionally by a bowler while completing a run. The two moved menacingly towards each other before South African umpire Brian Jerling separated the pair. Match referee Col. Chinmaya Shrama fined the two players 100 per cent of their match fee for the level 2 offence.
