saneindian Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wokay! The name was not featured with the write-up and I don't read TOI. Apologies to Rao. And :whack: at him still for completely ignoring Anustup Majumdar's effort. Lo kar lo baat. His day 3 report is titled "Anustup Majumdar puts East Zone ahead", abhi kya uska fotu lagayega tab khush hoge aap :--D Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Lo kar lo baat. His day 3 report is titled "Anustup Majumdar puts East Zone ahead"' date= abhi kya uska fotu lagayega tab khush hoge aap :--D See, if you read the report, two and half lines are dedicated for the innings of the day and the rest for the guy who scored 35. Since this is a daily report, hadn't he already covered Yadav's exploits in his Day 1 report? Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 dada read Telegraph's report na, nahin to ABP ka report padh lo :) Valsad: Bengal middle-order batsman Anustup Majumdar’s unbeaten century ensured a slender but important 29-run first innings lead for East Zone against West Zone in a Duleep Trophy quarterfinal match here on Sunday. After East finished their first innings on 343, West Zone were in a spot of bother at 131 for five at stumps, with a lead of 102 runs and five wickets in hand. Kaustubh Pawar (16 batting) and Abhishek Nayar (11 batting) were at the crease. The hero for East was undoubtedly 27-year-old Anustup (102 not out) who hit his third first-class century and his second successive in a first-class match having scored a hundred against Baroda in a Ranji Trophy game last month. His unbeaten knock came off 147 balls, including 12 boundaries and a six. Coming in at 200 for five when Sreevats Goswami (5) was bowled by left-arm seamer Samad Fallah (3/53), Anustup added 54 runs for the sixth wicket with skipper Nataraj Behera (130). Behera’s 459-minute fight finally ended when he was castled by Sandip Maniar. Shahbaz Nadeem (4) didn’t last long and the East were in trouble at 259 for seven when Basant Mohanty joined the Bengal lad. The duo added 61 runs for the eighth wicket, which helped them cross West’s first innings score of 314. Once Mohanty (16) became left-arm spinner Akshay Darekar’s second victim, Suryakumar Yadav quickly dismissed the remaining two batsmen as East couldn’t manage to take a big lead. http://telegraphindia.com/1120130/jsp/sports/story_15067870.jsp Link to comment

Since this is a daily report, hadn't he already covered Yadav's exploits in his Day 1 report?[/quote'] Thing is they need to describe the quality of batting and bowling as well if he has seen the match and give some deep insights of the the technique of the batsmen, the way they played and also the bowlers. Report is quite plain which anyone could write. Link to comment

I can write this looking at the scorecard only. :facepalm: But I guess they have strict word limits and Duleep Trophy is not really important. Link to comment
Magneto Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Anyway, it's lunch and only 121 runs needs to be scored for an outright win. EZ should be able to wrap up this match in the next session itself. Link to comment

Do not get much following. Thing is hardly anyone besides hard core cricket buffs are interested in following domestic cricket. If you go and watch any domestic match and interact with a group of journos/photographers covering the matches, you would know that these people cover the matches only due to their love for the game, despite not getting much in return.

That has always been a concern because of star culture in Indian cricket. No news channel really show any significant news about domestic cricket regularly or talk about upcoming domestic cricket but they can always make ridiculous news about how Harbjahan is doing in Ring Ka King or Sreesanth dancing in awards with SRK.

express bowling Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Please name some players who fit your above criteria. At least try naming 10 batsmen' date=' 10 pacers and 5 spinners as per your criteria. Thank you.[/quote'] As most of us do not get enough chance to watch a lot of domestic cricket, we do not know enough about all the available talent. The selectors should know about the upcoming players but it seems that they do not care much. But still quite a few names come to mind Pacers -- Abu Nechim, Ashok Dinda, Shami Ahmed, Rahul Shukla, Manpreet Gony, Awana, Prashant Parameshwaran, Sudip Tyagi, Anwar Ahmed, Pawan Suyal, Anant Raj. As I am more interested in pacers, I know about them more. Quite a few pacers' are very ordinary and will never play for India or should not do so but have still have been selected e.g - Samad Fallah. Vinay Kumar, Mithun are some paces who should not be choosen for tests but have been selected as no demarcation is made about the type of players. Among batsmen Suresh Raina has problems with the short ball, Yuvraj Singh cannot play the swinging ball outside his off stump, Mukund is not comfortable with his back foot play. Yet all lof them got a chance to play ahead of Kohli. Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane who play pace better than most youngsters. Now they are in the test team of 16 atlast but after precious time and series have been wasted trying out Raina, Yuvraj and Mukund who had obvious flaws and therefore lesser probability of succeeding in tests. This is the point that I make about choosing correct types of players ( which is often not being done ). A correct type of player , if choosen, may still fail but the probability of success improves a lot. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 East zone are on the verge of losing this game. Akshay Darekar is taking the game to the wire. four down for 114. 70 runs to win, 6 wickets in hand. Link to comment
