Zelch Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I thought the first innings lead will give Rajasthan the Ranji Trophy...am I missing something here.? Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 From cricinfo: Incidentally, the 1981-82 final between Delhi and Karnataka, played in Delhi, was extended to the sixth day, to enable the hosts to gain a first-innings lead. GR Viswanath, the Karnataka captain, elected to bat, a decision that proved appropriate as the visitors went on to amass 705. In reply Delhi could not gain the lead even at the end of the final day's play. But in an unprecedented move, play was extended to the sixth day, and a little before tea, Delhi, under Mohinder Amarnath, scored 707 for 8. By virtue of their first-innings lead, Delhi emerged winners on March 29, 1982, the extra day. Link to comment

saneindian Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Commentator says TN have never taken a first innings lead after conceding over 400 runs in the 1st innings. Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 interesting shows we havent developed our cricket at all :P Domestic cricket standards have actually come down. In those days most of the Test Cricketers used to play in the Ranji Trophy matches. Link to comment

In those days most of the Test Cricketers used to play in the Ranji Trophy matches. hmm now a days its impossible for test cricketers to play ranji packed schedule and also fitness problems but i never imagined such disgraceful performance owuld be given by finalists one team cant get wickets other cant score runs Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Contrary to most people here, I find Rajasthan's strategy very interesting. The TN batsmen would be mighty tired anyway standing for two and half days, and may fall pretty quickly when Rajasthan's fresh legs Pankaj Singh and Deepak Chahar Rituraj Singh take them on. Is there a possibility of the wicket crumbling later and having some turn? Rajasthan's left-arm spinner's average is 52 in FC. :woot: Link to comment

Magneto Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 cowards :finger: Better than being foolhardy and losing the all-important finals of a Trophy every domestic cricketer dreams of winning. An intelligent, calculative team plays to its strengths and gets itself into a strong position. If they can reach something like 600, they have a 70-30 chance of winning. And their strategy will pay off excellently if they ultimately manage to win. It's war out there and you get in to WIN. Not to show off how brave you are. Rajasthan is managing its limited talent in an excellent manner and kudos to the coach and captain for that. They were 27th out of the 27 teams just two years back. I wish the Indian team had this hunger to win. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 There are enough crack on the pitch now and with 2 more days to go under the harsh sun, TN will find it hard to bat on this track. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Murli Vijay has now developed a nice little paunch. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Rajasthan finally cross 600. Rituraj Singh providing them the much needed momentum. Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Rituraj Singh is playing a blinder here. TN may have to follow on. Link to comment

rkt.india Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Left arm falling too early for Rituraj. He is another trundler. swinging the ball, action can be refined a bit and will improve the pace. Link to comment
