IKnowU Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Did anyone notice this match: http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471532.html Chasing down 206 runs when the team was down 45/5 and scoring 96 runs and before that taking 4 wickets for 28 runs including the top scorer of the opposition---what on earth happens to this guy in the international matches? Is he turning into a domestic beast or something? Hes always been a domestic and IPL beast and international t20/20 beast. But his skills are more suited to the longer version of the game as seen evidently in his last few seasons, but selectors keep picking him for the ODIS's :banghead:
Cricketics Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 brilliant win for Mumbai. Chtinis and Agarkar scored in the end. With Rohit scoring 40. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471541.html

With Rohit scoring 40. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471541.html Chitnis has been in very good form..hit 10 sixes in that innings of 100. KXIP has a stronger middle order with Nayar/Chitnis this time around. And that Punjab batsman, Mayank Sidhana, seems to be originally from Delhi and helped defeat them in the last match... hehe Meanwhile Gony comes one down as blasts 44 of 18 balls ;-) http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471542.html

Ya read about that Sidhana:) Btw, I feel Gony wasn't given proper chance in ODI. Came in after good stint in IPL, but should have been given one more series in ODI'S.

Is he turning into a domestic beast or something? Not yet. He has a long way to go before being termed as domestic beast like Wasim Jaffer. Certain guys play better when they are the key players in the side. Moment they are put alongside some better players they play poorer. May be they just don't adapt themselves to new role better.
HowardRoark Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 TamilNadu bludgeon 376/4 against Hyderabad A Mukund 105(122) KD Karthik*†not out 154(83) PP Ojha 10 0 82 1 8.20 :hehe:
Chandan Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Can't understand the logic of logic of elite teams playing the plate teams. They are only producing lop sided tournaments and are inflating the stats of the batsmen and bowlers of the bigger teams. What are they achieving here when there is no competition at all? Whats the point?
vvvslaxman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 KKD :cheer: That explains how crappy Hyderabad has been :cantstop: . KKD has had a horror season upto this point.

Whats the point? Its stupid to play same team every year, Should be more like Ranji long version.

Cricketics Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Here is the recent article of Aakash Chopra Posted by Aakash Chopra 4 days, 15 hours ago in Indian domestic cricket Implement Ranji format for the shorter versions Batsmen from the north need exposure to pitches in the south © ESPNcricinfo The BCCI did well for Indian domestic cricket when they decided to scrap the redundant Ranji format of teams from a particular zone playing among themselves, before the top two could proceed to the knockouts. While the system had been in place for long, it wasn’t doing any good to improve either the standard of cricket or the quality of cricketers. In fact, since it’s almost a given, that a couple of teams in each Zone would be mediocre, the players from stronger teams often walked away with inflated figures, which of course wasn’t a true reflection of their actual skill. Some of these performances, at times, went a long way in getting a nod for Duleep Trophy. After all, it’s the number of runs and the wickets that count, however lopsided the contest may have been. Even the quality of surfaces provided in certain Zones was not conducive to producing good cricketers. What does a batsman learn about playing the horizontal bat shots if the ball doesn’t bounce above the knee-height regardless of the length? Or how do you possibly learn to tackle pace when you play on surfaces where, perhaps you can lean back and enjoy a cup of coffee, before the ball actually reaches the bat? If not the quality of the opposition, such surfaces are bound to make you an ordinary cricketer. Also, by restricting the games only to the Zone, you end up becoming a one-dimensional cricketer. For the longest time, the players from the North were better equipped in tackling the swing, while the men from South could only master playing spin. And hence, the format was changed to Elite and Plate in which good teams played against each other on home and away basis. Now, you could learn to play the moving ball in Delhi’s winter and also tackle the turner in Chennai in the same season. If just a couple of changes in a format could reap exceptional results for domestic four-day matches, then why the delay in implementing them in the shorter formats? At the moment, domestic Twenty20s and fifty-over matches are being played within the Zone and the top two teams qualify for the knockouts. Obviously then, the lapses of the old format are still plaguing the development of these shorter games. The first round of domestic one-day matches gets over in 7-9 days, which is as gruelling as it can get. At times you play on two consecutive days, like we did here in Kanpur. Or you could be playing on alternate days, as it’s done in the North, but the rest day is consumed by travelling from Chandigarh to Patiala. When the Elite-Plate format has worked well for us, why the fixation with matches between teams within the Zone? It seems that while we have successfully adopted one format, we are still afraid of letting go of the other one. If we want to continuously evolve as a cricketing nation, we must keep evolving at all levels. If shelving a few tournaments or formats is the way forward, then so be it. http://blogs.espncricinfo.com/beyondtheblues/archives/2011/02/implement_ranji_format_to_the.php#more
saneindian Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Two upsets today. In the 1st pre QF, Vidharbha upset Punjab. Vidarbha 278/8, Punjab 178 all out http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471562.html 2nd Pre QF- Gujarat beat Karnataka. Gujarat scored 168 and bundled out Karnataka for 136. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indiandomestic2010/engine/current/match/471563.html This match was on Neo today and one pacer from Gujarat Ishwar Choudhary looked very impressive. Took 4/31, his best bowling figures so far. Was consitently bowling at around 134-135 kmph and getting the ball to swing in the air and off the pitch. Has a nice smooth action but is quite lean for a pacer. Another Gujarat bowler leg spinner Salil Yadav was impressive too.
Chandan Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 What are preliminary QFs I think who would play against Bengal and Tamil Nadu was decided till now. With this pre-QF, two teams have reached QF and Gujrat will play against Bengal, which had qualified for QF earlier on 18th I suppose, while Vidarbha will face TN . Tomorrow we'll have two QF matches.

Another Gujarat bowler leg spinner Salil Yadav was impressive too. Ishwar Choudhary looked good in the Ranji trophy match earlier this season as well, but today he'd picked up his speeds by atleast 10k's in the match which was surprising and a good sign indeed. The bounce, line and length was still there as well. And quite a turnaround in the Gujarat / Karnataka match in the end. Good stuff.
