well some time u jsut lose momentum at wrong time good thing is sandeep still did well ..mandeep has been biggest disappointment this year yes he score 200 in last game but he was dropped several times! also if u can find it see his batting in nz tour i think he needs to improve his front foot game..otherwise he is another ftb in making

Gony got injured, bowled just 4 overs..Siddarth Kaul their 2nd heighest wicket taker was probably injured too and did not play.

Gony got injured' date=' bowled just 4 overs..Siddarth Kaul their 2nd heighest wicket taker was probably injured too and did not play.[/quote'] I think I read somewhere that he was rested for this match because of the schedule and Sandeep would be rested in the next match since they've already qualified.

that is good. Most other teams dont have the luxury to rest their key bowlers in this hectic schedule.

Not so much a quarrel with your post but resting bowlers should never be seen as a luxury but rather a long term investment. Unless someone truly excels in the level and it is a crucial match, I am keen to never play a bowler who is less than totally fit.

Zaheer boost for struggling Mumbai

MUMBAI: Fourteen points from six games is unusual for 39-time Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai, but the Ajit Agarkar-led side have themselves to blame for this mess. Mumbai desperately need an outright victory to pull themselves out of the mid-table scramble. To achieve their objective, they have pinned their hopes on left-arm-seamer Zaheer Khan, who was dropped from the squad against England in the fourth Test and opted out of the T20s against England. Zaheer will join the Mumbai squad for the clash against Madhya Pradesh at Indore from December 22 to 25. All eyes will be on Zak as he hopes to make a comeback for the ODI series against Pakistan and England. Squad: Wasim Jaffer, Kaustubh Pawar, Hiken Shah, Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Nayar, Aditya Tare, Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Iqbal Abdullah, Nikhil Patil (Jr), Javed Khan, Dhaval Kulkarni, Sufiyan Shaikh, Ankit Chavan, Vishal Dabholkar.

Obviously, I wont risk playing a half-fit bowler. Only Punjab is sure to knockouts till now so they can afford them to rest right now, but not others as most bowlers have played 6-7 games in last one and a half months.

[Stan AF]

What Boost?. He needs boost 1st.

[King Tendulkar]

Zak is class. Bowled ok in test series and was unlucky. ATG. Its just hie fielding is tragic now. Bowling is still good enough

[Clarke]

^ Wow, I'm partially agreeing with this guy. He didn't do much in the recent games. The only kick@$$ bowler we've had in years, lets just see if there's anything close to a final hurrah from him. If not, so be it. Should be remembered as our MVP in terms of our short term test #1 reign & the WC victory.

Zak will destroy Ranji teams easily. Will Dhawal Kulkarni be dropped if they plan to play 2 spinners?

kulkarni got key wickets no?

[Magneto]

kulkarni got key wickets no?

Nope. Only Ankeet Chavan and Abhishek Nayar gets wickets for Mumbai. :giggle: Would be still sad to see a promising young bowler dropped just because an old warhorse has come back.

not in case of zack...he is class imo will benefit batsmen who will face him they can learn how international bowler operates even if he is not at best agarkar should sit out but tht wont happen

[Lord]
