Shami bowling well.

[rkt.india]

0.10am Bengal hit back Shami Ahmed has struck twice early on the second morning against Madhya Pradesh, with both overnight batsmen Rameez Khan and allrounder Jalaj Saxena dismissed. MP 337 for 7.

[rkt.india]

10.35am Hundred for Saurabh Tiwary He may have made his name in the IPL, but Saurabh Tiwary has shown he can shelve the big shots and grind it out. He was unbeaten on a six-hour 65 yesterday. With the wickets tumbling at the other end today, he has hit six fours this morning to reach his century, off 304 deliveries. Himachal fast bowler Rishi Dhawan follows up his eight-for in the previous match against Andhra with 6 for 63 now.

[rkt.india]

From 322 for 5, MP slide to 342 all out. The destroyer for Bengal was Shami Ahmed, who finished with 7 for 79, among the best figures of the season. And the wickets continue to fall even when Bengal start to bat. They are already 10 for 2 in the fourth over. And they are without their regular captain Manoj Tiwary, who is sidelined with a finger injury.

Sharda Ugra clearly wants more spice in the Delhi track: "Delhi have crossed 300 a while back but excuse us for not noticing what is a routine happening at the Kotla in Ranji matches. Mohit Sharma has crossed fifty, flicked Balaji with a shot that deserved some embroidery over it (113b 9X4) and followed it up with a straight drive in the same over."

Mohit Sharma is one to keep an eye on. He once had scored 80 bowl 200 in a club match in Delhi which had made headlines.

im never wrong abt good bowlers shami ahmed just proved his worth! a good bowler easily destroys ranji sides and this guy when in form has done it now 3 times ? hopefully he will be ready till south africa tour

[rkt.india]

1.00am Sharda Ugra sums up the play so far at the Kotla: "Mahesh and Bala made the best use of the new ball and it was Balaji's wicket off Manhas that brought up a dream sight for the morning, when he had his stumps knocked over. Mohit Sharma has looked assured reaching his 50; and Vaibhav Raval, the new junior run machine from Delhi has settled in. Delhi 339 for 3." 10.55am Madhya Pradesh bowled out for 342

atleast he is contention unlike pankaj

[Number]

wow.. 7 wickets for Shami. :two_thumbs_up:

[MCcricket]

atleast he is contention unlike pankaj

Shami, Pankaj should be drafted on Atours and tests asap so they can make the test team when we tour next year,Isaw Shami bowl first vtime in clt20 2 years back, he had pace, first ball bowled was 144 k, good easy runup and action, then saw him bowling in buchi babu and a tour, he can move the ball at pace both ways and can bowl long spells, Akram first talked about him being most talented bowler, wv raman, saurav all said the same,Pankaj Singh not in the test side is a mystery the way he is bowling right now, even good bowling sides would like to have a player like him in their squad leave alone India

[saneindian]

7-fer for Shami Won't be long before he makes his test debut.

Only after Dhoni quits test cricket...

1.30pm Saurashtra implode Siddarth Kaul, one of the few people I know who spells his first name exactly like I do, is running through Saurashtra's batting. He has taken four now, including Ravindra Jadeja for a duck. Saurashtra 73 for 4, still need 42 to make Punjab bat again.

Another young fast bowler making his ocme back and doing well this season. Keep an eye on him too. He has become second innings specialist for Punjab this season. Most of his wickets have come in second innings.

[rkt.india]

2.55pm Sharda: "Mohit Sharma completes his century with a lofted drive over mid-on off Aushik Srinivas. Delhi are 395-3. Mohit Sharma century 200balls 266mins, 16x4. This is his first first-class 100, in his third match for Delhi debutant this season and Delhi cross 400." And in Indore, Bengal have moved to 57 for 3, Writam Porel 14*, Wriddhiman Saha 23* v Madhya Pradesh. Saurashtra are 56/1, opener Bhushan Chauhan falls for 15. Chirag Pathak 26*, Shitanshu Kotak 9*.

Dhoni will bring him to Rhiti Sport.:giggle:

[jairamesh]

Any decent spinners doing the rounds currently??

[rkt.india]

elhi have declared (at last). 555-4, Bhatia not out 14 and Rawal 100 not out after 155 overs. 3.40pm Hyderabad 74 for 1, Akshath Reddy 37, Hanuma Vihari 17* v Mumbai. Wriddhiman Saha is unbeaten on 64 as Bengal progress to 153 for 5, chasing Madhya Pradesh's 342.

Akshath Reddy is an upcoming opener who has scored consistent runs for his team since his debut 2 years back even in tough situations. He is the lone battler for Hyderabad. Still early in his FC career.

Top stuff, surprised Bengal opted to play four pacers on this pitch Naman Ojha galloping his way to another 100 on the flats of Indore. Naman looked so out of his depth in South Africa during CLT20.

Bengal is playing 3 pacers. Shukla plays as a batting allrounder. Good to see Shami getting a 7-er including a hat-trick. And Abhishek Jhunjhunwala makes some kind of a comeback. He was a top potential before he left for ICL. Saha scores another fifty (87). 5th fifty in six innings in this Ranji.
