Rush Kalaria, the India u-19 all rounder has started to do well finally scoring runs in the lower order and taking wickets as well. in 5 matches this season, has got 16 wickets@30 and 200+ runs @30 so far. Ashish Reddy another all rounder doing well. in 5 matches so far, 21 wickets@19 and 200+ runs@32 for him as well. Rishi Dhawan is another one who is doing extremely well. 41 wickets@25 and 550 runs@55, as good as a leading seamer and a front line batsman! The only issue is perhaps the speed at which these three bowl. Dhawan is more of a 125-130 kph bowler, havent seen him bowl this season but if he can add just a couple of yards of pace (which he is capable of , given his built and smooth run up), he can be a really good find for us.

Kerala's new Warrior Perinthalamanna: He is tall, wily, quick and deceptive. A man of few words, Kerala pacer Sandeep Warrier is happy to let the ball do the taking. And Sandeep's bowling is certainly making a lot of people talk about the 21-year lad from Thrissur. On Monday at the KCA ground here, he outshone his more illustrious partner, S Sreesanth, to run through the Jharkhand side and set up Kerala's victory. Sandeep's figures of 6 for 44 from 15 overs is easily his best in Ranji Trophy and it has come in just his fourth first-class match. Even though Sreesanth didn't get a wicket in the second innings, it was a delight to see the senior partner constantly encouraging the youngster every time he walked back to the top of his run-up. And Sandeep was quick to admit the role played by Sreesanth in his success. "My confidence has grown immensly since Sreesanth joined the squad. He told me about the angles to bowl. In fact, two of the wickets that I took after lunch today were planned by Sreesanth. He asked me to bowl four balls from close to the stumps before bowling the next one from wide of the crease. The plan worked and i got two wickets," said an elated Sandeep. Sreesanth too seems impressed by the youngster and reckons Sandeep has got abundance of talent. "He is one of the best bowlers I have seen in India. He has got a long way to go still. He needs to keep working hard and the results will take care of itself," said the Kerala pace spearhead on state's new rising star. Sandeep's rise has been dramatic. Former Kerala cricketer K Ram Mohan took him under his wings two years back and untill then Sandeep hadn't played for any of the state junior side's. But after working under Rammohan, Sandeep's career graph has shown an upward curve. He broke into the Kerala U-22 side last year. His performances for the state U-22 side saw him earn a place in Kerala U-25 one-day squad last season. He represented South Zone in the Vizzy Trophy before making it to the Indian Universities' team camp early this year. "I cannot claim credit for Sandeep's rise. He is a natural. All i have done is give him some guidance. Today the boy has done me proud," said Ram Mohan who was at the KCA stadium here to watch his ward's exploits with the ball. And it is just not the former cricketers of Kerala who are in awe of Kerala's find of the season. Former India pacer Abey Kuruvilla, who was in Kerala to attend a fast bowlers' camp organised by KCA, was excited to see Sandeep in the camp. And he told TOI on Monday that Sandeep is a precious talent who should be nurtured properly. " He is very good and has got all the right attributes for a fast bowler. He has a smooth run-up and a nice clean action. More importantly, he generates good pace. No doubt, he should be nurtured properly," the chairman of India's junior selection committee told TOI over phone from Mumbai. Asked whether he can be considered as a future India material, Kuruvilla said: "It's his first season. It's too early to think of playing for India. Let him enjoy his game and pick up more wickets in domestic cricket. If he performs consistently an India cap is not beyond him." There is no doubt Sandeep has made a superb start to his career. Now the onus is on him to make use of the opportunities he gets and climb ladders in the game. And fans of Kerala cricket would certainly keep a close watch on him.

Looks like Mumbai have finally declared. 78 overs to bowl out MP and take 6 points. May get around 70 overs in the day as light fades very quickly at Indore.
MP will score 170/4 in 60 overs and they'll call off the match. The match can continue till 5 if something exciting happens.

mumbai the trundler paradise introduces javed khan
Mumbai have not produced one bowler who can bowl 135K after Agarkar and they keep giving chances to trundlers likes of Wainganker and Balvinder and others. Javes Khan is not really bowler to look forward too. He is a poor man's of young Balaji of 2002, similar action and wide of the crease approach. Mohd. Aamir said to be quick but raw should have been given a chance. While most states have young upcoming bowlers and working on findings new pacers, Mumbai is stale. Three crores of population of Mumbai, they must have bowlers who could bowl pretty quick, but they have only one dictionary of line and length.

11.10am - MP turning the tables in Indore Mumbai gave themselves 78 overs to try to bowl MP out, but by the end of the 13th over - bowled by Javed Khan for 10 runs - they have conceded 57 runs without a wicket. MP not entirely out of this. They need another 254 in 65 overs

11.11am - Gujarat sniff outright win Big wicket. Uday Kaul is gone in Valsad. Punjab 57 for 4 now. Gujarat can sense it now. If they win, they will reach 21 points, likely joint-second along with MP. Interesting scenes. Punjab, meanwhile, have already qualified for the quarters
Gujarat winning against Punjab.

Sandhu, Waigankar are so mediocre that they wouldn't even fit in U19 squads lol, both bowl around 118 to 125 k. Even Kamran Khan was living in Mumbai, they should have selected him, left hander who was very young and could touch 90 with slingy action , idio!@#
