Will this be the closest Irani Trophy In Years.

Last few times wiht rajasthan ,It has been one sided.Hopefully this will be a contest.

The mistake Rajashan made was to prepare flat pattas for the Irani matches. Prepare sporting tracks and the difference between ROI and the Ranji winners tends to be very minimal. Hopefully we will have sporting tracks again for this one.

they should use the same pitch they did for the ranji finals. I think we can expect some bounce on this mumbai pitch.

Agarkar ruled out of the Irani match due to a groin injury.. Nayar to lead Mumbai

[Vivek.S.123]

If Mumbai wins, then you know that Indian Test Cricket has a very dark future

[kubrickian]

Hope they prepare a wicket which is helpful for seamers. Should test the technique of Rohit, Rahane, Nayar etc. Unfortunately, Mumbai has a weak pace attack to utilize the conditions.

Hi guys, how quick was Dhawal? could not follow the Irani final.....

[The Dark Horse]

WTH are Sehwag, Raina and Mithun doing in the ROI team?

[Lord]

WTH are Sehwag' date=' Raina and Mithun doing in the ROI team?[/quote'] same as Vijay,Sreesanth,Jalaj Saxena:giggle:

[saneindian]

A full strength Mumbai side with both Zak and Agarkar in it could have rolled over the ROI batting. Mumbai have 3 bowlers who are in their 1st season and got carried away a little in the 1st session.
