Holysmoke Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The issue of 2nd rung players is again a matter of history. It was true in 80s and early 90s when Mumbai could bear the loss of a Lachand Rajput or a Chandrakant Pundit who could choose to play for Assam, West Bengal etc. Not so much today. Today if every team decided to play its strength there is no reason to think that Mumbai would overrun say even Gujrat(with Zaheer/Pathan bowling in tandem) let alone take on Bangalore/Karnataka with Dravid/Kumble Zaheer plays for Mumbai. Pathan plays for Baroda. Zaheer did play for Baroda for a couple of seasons, because he couldnt make it to the Mumbai ranji team. Link to comment

Karnataka is WITH Dravid and Kumble. See the score for yourself.... Yes I have seen the score, it was the headline this morning at CI. Have you looked at the Karnataka team? Thats a solid team. Dont dismiss them simply because they were dismissed for a small score here. As for the game no positives thus far, Dravid and Kumble aint doing good. Only Jaffer did anything of note.

Cricketics Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 hmm holy, if u compare the ongoing game's result betweent karnataka and mumbai, for this discussion then i would say its pretty childish.. it's just one game.. 2 teamz who face each other once perhapz in a year.. Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 As for the game no positives thus far' date=' Dravid and Kumble aint doing good. Only Jaffer did anything of note.[/quote'] And Kukreja. And Naik (and this is only his second first class knock! His first was a hundred on debut in Karachi). And Powarji. And Aag. And Samant (six dismissals in the first innings). Lots and lots of positives there. :D Link to comment
