rkt.india Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Suyal is a late bloomer. He has not come through age group cricket. He has not played too much club cricket too. This is the reason he lacked the fitness to bowl long spells. He went through knee reconstruction in 2011 when he suffered a knee injury while fielding and did not sense the seriousness of the injury and was still played next game, bowled, and aggravated the injury which kept him out for a year. He has come back welk. Played in CK Nayudu, took wickets there and bowled 43 overs here.
rkt.india Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Looks like no match will be televised in the third round. No schedule. http://www.espnstar.com/tv-listings/region1/day2/
Feed Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 New Ranji Trophy format: The pros and cons Following a departure from the Elite and Plate divisions, we now have a format with three groups, with each team playing four away and four home games, an increase from the erstwhile five. More... New Ranji Trophy format: The pros and cons By Madhav Krishnan On November 16, 2012, The domestic season has just started, and with some noise. With India’s Test stars back in the fray for the country’s elite First-Class cricket tournament, “Indians at least would know that the Ranji Trophy had started”, as WV Raman put it rightly. This year the Trophy has something new to offer: revamp of the format, pre-season investments by some teams in terms of paid assistance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA), international coaches for teams like Andhra and Maharashtra. The season has struck the right chord in its quest to keep the premier tournament still relevant. A good number of Team India members played the opening round, preparing for the series against England. On Day One of the 2012-13 season, Sachin Tendulkar grabbed the headlines with a sparkling, run-a-ball 136 against a Railways bowling attack, which had Murali Kartik in its ranks. Following a departure from the Elite and Plate divisions, we now have a format with three groups, with each team playing four away and four home games, an increase from the erstwhile five. This has ensured a more level-playing field. The scheduling, however, has come under fire with just a three-day gap between fixtures. The new format also has five days for all knock-out games and an optional sixth day so as to grind results out of rat-races for the first innings lead on unsporting pitches. But it has not killed the possibility of run-fests in the group games, with home teams and curators banking on the toss and their batting personnel, the latest examples being the Maharashtra vs UP or the Karnataka vs Tamil Nadu games ending on November 12. Apart from killing the pace bowler with less time to recuperate, domestic cricket has also literally killed an intellectual pursuit called spin. With spinners having to bowl 50 overs in an innings, although not an excuse in sub-continental conditions, First-Class cricket along with the Indian Premier League, has led to a decline in the craft. Flatter and faster trajectories, negative lines have become endemic. Even bigger a problem is the choice of venues for other domestic series like the Irani or Duleep Trophies. I strongly feel that such fixtures must be scheduled in places like Dharamshala or Mohali, which encourage pace bowlers and sets up an exciting contest between bat and ball. In hindsight, it can be a good preparation and a litmus test in deciphering who can handle similar conditions overseas. A green pitch is not possible, however. But, always, good domestic competitions can be on the cards if the ball can move laterally or bounce considerably at lively pace. It is in the DNA of every Indian batsman and every Indian spinner to do their ‘traditional’ roles well inside India, on flat decks. It is not possible to do away with the other domestic tournaments like the Deodhar or the Challenger Trophies, but they can be looked into by the technical committee headed by none other than Anil Kumble himself. India’s domestic cricket has had great viewership in the past, with local crowds turning up in large numbers to watch their heroes like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, but has been on the decline with some lacklustre and star-deserted tournaments being organised. The English County Championship and the Australian Sheffield Shield have been kept alive and have continued to produce quality cricketers and contest through years, and our age-old Ranji Trophy must meet its challenges in the best interests of the game and its relevance in India.
rkt.india Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Pringle calls for Ranji points revamp After a batsmen-dominated Ranji Trophy round that had as many as 34 centuries, Meyrick Pringle, the Rajasthan coach, has called for additional points to be awarded for runs scored and wickets taken, irrespective of the match's result. While some of the changes introduced to the Ranjis this season have come in for praise, including the introduction of three tiers, the points system remains almost untouched. Though the BCCI has introduced an additional point for an outright victory in order to encourage the teams to go for an outright victory, it seems to have had little impact on the teams' attitude as nine of the 12 second-round league games ended in draws. Pringle, the former South Africa bowler who has been in charge of defending champions Rajasthan this year, wanted the BCCI to follow the example of the English or the South African domestic competitions. "I just think overall, the format in India should change to what the other countries follow, where you go on first-innings points - batting and bowling," Pringle told ESPNcricinfo on the eve of Rajasthan's match against Madhya Pradesh. Pringle was appointed as the bowling coach last season but has been the acting head coach since Chandrakant Pandit resigned in September after accepting the position of the national junior selection panel's head just before the start of the season. "Your first batting point is 100 or 150 and every 50 runs thereafter earn you another point. Once you score 450, you don't get batting points after that," Pringle said. "Same with the bowling, the first, third and fifth and so on. That's the way, I think, it should be played." While the BCCI has refrained from re-introducing points for runs scored and wickets taken, something that was in place in the late '80s, countries like England and South Africa have successfully implemented it. In England, for instance, a team that scores 200 runs in the first innings gets one point, and for every 50 runs thereafter they earn a point till a maximum of 400 runs. Similarly, at least three wickets in the first innings earn the bowling side a point. And the batting and bowling points are added to the overall points tally irrespective of the result. In India, on the other hand, the first-innings lead earns a team three points while an outright victory gets them six, unless they win by an innings or 10 wickets, which fetches them seven points. However, the fact that bowling and batting points are missing from the system often tends to allow the teams to settle for a result based on the first innings. Or, as was the case during Maharashtra's Group B game against Uttar Pradesh in Pune last week, the teams are reluctant to even try for the first-innings lead. Pringle also hoped to see bigger crowds in Ranji matches. Rajasthan have been forced to host their home games at an alternate venue in Jaipur instead of at the city's main cricket venue, the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, primarily due to the political turmoil in the Rajasthan Cricket Association. "We've won the Ranji Trophy two years in a row and it's a huge achievement for everyone - the RCA, the players and everyone in Rajasthan cricket," Pringle said. "We hope that we can get more spectators and we hope that the RCA sorts out the political side of the SMS Stadium. We would love to play there. We know that every game we play here, we win and we can open the gates of the stadium, we will be able to showcase our talent to the people of Rajasthan more frequently." http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/591617.html?CMP=outlook_news
skindia Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 vijay out for 0 and mukund out for 6 on chennai pitch...
rkt.india Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 10.20am Update from Amit: "Nehra is getting the ball at the rib cage region but if the fast bowler don't put in the extra effort, Puneet Bisht collecting every ball in the ankle region. Now Waghmode is in pain after being struck midships by a Pawan Suyal delivery. Baroda 26 for 0 in 11 overs."
Number Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 vijay out for 0 and mukund out for 6 on chennai pitch... Vijay not in Indian squad for tests ?? :hmmm:
Magneto Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Vijay not in Indian squad for tests ?? :hmmm: Sent back to get a few ducks in Ranji. Since we have two readymade waterboys, we don't need anymore.
Magneto Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Haryana is at it again. 65/9 against Odisha. Trying to create a few records this Ranji season. :cantstop:
CricLind Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 This round looks very promising for the bowlers so far. 2-3 debutants doing well such as Shivlingaiah. Any idea on how he bowls - speed, swing, etc?
CricLind Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 In Meerut, Mohammad Kaif's innings stretches beyond four hours as he reaches 62 not out at tea. UP are still in a bother, at 163 for 7, against a Karnataka attack that has three debutants. Kaif is having a good season this time...
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 It's annoying that some of the Ranji matches are not on TV. I do want to watch Maharashtra's matches. They could probably even air the matches on one of the regional Marathi channels like Zee Marathi or ETV Marathi. Other teams could do the same with other regional channels. Obviously ESPN/Star are not going to air most of the matches. Maybe all state associations should sell broadcast rights individually for their home matches.
Trundler27 Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Imitiaz ahmed is my new muse (bowled well in the first innings). Pankaj and B Kumar have also been really impressive thus far this season by consistently picking multiple wickets whether bowling first or second after the toss...... danda, dhudhat, bhaja, shami, etc didn't do much. aparajith and all other u-19 heroes have been very low key so far. Most impressive rookie imo is Jiwanjot from punjab.
India-KXIP fan Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Unfortunately another duck for Mandeep, that's his third now but he is quality as we saw in NZ. Uday Kaul averages 315 with bat and has the most wicket keeper dismissals Jiwanjot missed out, but 44 still not bad. Punjab will take 3 pts for higher first innings score. Cruising at the top.
vvvslaxman Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Mandeep :hysterical: Next best thing after slice of bread.
India-KXIP fan Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Punjab's best start to Ranji season yet? Maybe something to do with leadership of the Captain and Vice Captain (now stand in captain)
