[amit]

Some good performances by some youngsters. Let's see how their performance goes in this season

And looking forward to Kuldeep Yadav, Yazvendra Chahal, Shreyas Gopal, Akshar Patel and all other young spinners performances. Need to find 1 more spinner to have as the backup spinner in tests and ODI teams

Batting is always good and some pacers become Ambroses and McGraths in Ranji, but turn out to be legendary Ashok Dindas, Manpreet Gonys, Vinay Kumars in international. Hoping it is not the case with any new pacers we discover this season

 

[street cricketer]

[MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION] check out Pant and Rana's innings.

Looks like they have run riot.

But then again, Pradeep Sangwan has made 70 odd at a 100+ SR. I'm confused.

Lolz never in my dreams did I think our army of trundlers will beat the team of heavyweights in 2 days before the quarter final started. Expected a heavy thrashing for us.

Hail greentops!

Your team's first win on us in more than a decade. ..to be precise, it's after 13 years. .and your guys did it within in 2 days..

 

[street cricketer]

Your team's first win on us in more than a decade. ..to be precise, it's after 13 years. .and your guys did it within in 2 days..

Ya I know. We usually have a team of hard workers who generally do well in the Ranji to reach the knockouts, only to lose in the end to the likes of stronger teams like Mumbai and Karnataka.

Our batsmen are stubborn, solid and don't give their wickets away easily on the mould of Cook, Rogers or Kraigg Braithwaite. Vijay, Mukund and the new Kaushik Gandhi all fit that description, but none are as talented as say a Rahul or Karun Nair or Manish Pandey. Bowlers are mostly trundlers as well. I expected them to lose ultimately to the much stronger Karnataka team. So it's a good achievement to reach the semi finals. One interesting thing is that the pacers have been the biggest match winners for us this season which is a surprise. A couple of matches at Lahli also helps.

Hopefully we can extend the run to the semis and if we reach the finals, hopefully Ashwin and Vijay join the team to help win the trophy after a very long time. Rahul did well in the 2nd innings on a greentop, so that's one positive for the Indian team.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Positives for the Indian team so far in this round with Rahul scoring an impressive 77 and a fiver for Bumrah in the other game.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Ishan Kishan with a match winning 86 now. Who is the better keeper (not batsman) between him and Pant?

 

[JaDed]

Lovely to have beaten Karnataka I say,all my Bangalore buddies disappointed the match ended in 2 days tbf Rahul and Nair last year had scores of 188 and 328 when they defeated us by an innings,incidental scores?

 

[JattMaula]

Ishan Kishan with a match winning 86 now. Who is the better keeper (not batsman) between him and Pant?

Pant kept for India under 19 when both of them were members.

 

[Vivek_86]

I think India need wicketkeepers who are better batsman. Catches and stumpungs are being missed anyway .Saha is overrated criminally as a wicketkeeper.

 

[JaDed]

Pant kept for India under 19 when both of them were members.

Was a disaster of a keeper!

 

[Sin Nombre]

You need to give Pant another full season in FC cricket before you throw him into test match cricket. Keeping is so much about motor memory and he needs to get more experience in a lower pressure environment.

Ideally, he would already start getting games in LOI cricket but that won't happen with Dhoni around.

 

[JattMaula]

Was a disaster of a keeper!

He was told by selectors to improve his keeping and to go through the system I.e. India A and then senior team chance if he is required.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Ishan Kishan with a match winning 86 now. Who is the better keeper (not batsman) between him and Pant?

just saw the highlights. that was plain destruction. kid hit some huge sixes. good technique and matching temperament it seems. not seen his wicketkeeping but impressed.

 

[Thivagar]

Can someone tell me why such a prolific team like Mumbai is opening their batting with a 32 year old batsman with 5 FC matches ? What is so special about him ? and Why do Indian domestic players with better FC average are chosen for ODIs over players with better List A averages ?

injury crises to the openers. The other opener, Prithvi Shaw,17, is making his FC debut.

 

[EliteCynical]

Has Abhishek Nayyar increased his pace or am I dreaming? How is he able to take so many wickets. Last i checked, he was beyond ordinary in IPL. I caught a brief glimpse yesterday and saw that he is indeed nippier than earlier. Can someone eloborate?

He was averaging 125+ before injuries. And now again bowling near 130. Little too late for him to play for India. But very useful for Mumbai.

Short, fat, u-19 kid has shifted to UP. His father thought that he will get more chances there.

 

[Thivagar]

I think he means Sharma Ji.

Short, fat, u-19 kid has shifted to UP. His father thought that he will get more chances there.

Got it. He is probably the first person ever to migrate to UP hoping for a better future.

 

[street cricketer]

We are the New Zealand of Ranji

Good enough to reach the knockouts on a consistent basis and sometimes even the finals but ultimately not good enough to get over the line against the best teams. Misbaesque captaincy by Mukund doesn't help either..

 

[Thivagar]

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/302582.html

This guy has a better List A average than the likes of Rehane, Kl Rahul and Karun Nair. He should be given few more chances in ODIS. Has a good SR as well.

 

[Thivagar]

Yeah Karnataka had the best chance of beating Mumbai but now that we're out I'm rooting for you guys. Hopefully you can beat Mumbai

Mukund's LOs batting is not suitable for team India. If he can't even hold his own in IPL then opening for India is out of question.

D.karthik clearly stood out compared to the rest of the batsmen. V.Shankar looked like a Test prospect. Rest of the batsmen of Tamil Nadu didn't look pleasing to the eyes, including Mukund.

 

[JattMaula]

Waiting to see how Prithvi does in his second first class inning. Been earmarked for India by some very reputable experts.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Bumrah cleaned up. got six wickets against Jharkhand. This kid has got talent and that unique action makes him hard to pick. Great option going forward for our test team.

we need him. I hope Yadav and Ishant keep bowling well but it's no guarantee. we need all the help we can with our fast bowling attack. He can become a good International seamer. He's accuarate and economical and that action is an advantage.

actually his main strength is his accuracy. He's got a knack of bowling effective yorkers and is a good wicket to wicket bowler.

see he's not got the build of Wahab or Yadav so I'm not sure he can increase his pace to 145 kph.

Guys how tall is V. Shankar approx. & what pace does he bowl at ?

 

[Sin Nombre]

I would keep Bumrah as a LOI specialist for now; let him slowly develop his fitness to bowl longer spells.

His performances have shown the same pattern where he has struggled when needed for longer spells.

Not sure, think he's more of a batting all rounder. Was selected for the India A team as the seam bowling all rounder before he got injured and Pandya replaced him.

Is probably 2nd in line to Pandya as the seam bowling all rounder.

 

[street cricketer]

Bumrah should remain in LOIs.

Would be wasted in test cricket.

Prithvi Shaw carving up FC cricket on debut! 58* and going strong

So why didn't Tamil Nadu set a higher target for Mumbai to chase ? 250 on this track look very easy. Does NRR play a role if the match is tied ?

Bumrah cleaned up. got six wickets against Jharkhand. This kid has got talent and that unique action makes him hard to pick. Great option going forward for our test team.

Not seen this match but the two Baba twins look promising.

Yeah same here. he hit a cracking drive for 4 in the first innings before playing a a wide ball and getting out.

I've been watching Ranji/Deodhar/India Red vs Blue Vs Green and loosely for about 2-3 years. Certain players stand out more than the others, there are only handful of prospects. Spinners don't give enough revs, have poor actions, fast bowlers don't bowl fast enough, most batsmen favour certain sides, wait for the loose balls which are more common in FC than international matches and capitalize on them. Baba Aparjith looks decent, Smason, Naman Ojha and few others look like international prospects. Rest look like club cricketers.

He bowls in the mid 120s. Hardly one or two balls in the 130s. More of a batsman and a bowler who can provide relief to the main bowlers ala Ganguly but a slightly quicker version.

He is tall and so should get some extra bounce, but without the pace not sure how effective he would be if he gets a break in the international games.

His batting looks decent. TN should atleast push him to #5 to improve his utility to the team. If he develops well he looks a good option for #6 in the Indian test team. But before that he needs chances in the 'A' team to check out how he steps up - was unfortunate to miss out on the Australia 'A' tour due to injury. Pandya came in and has subsequently got his cap albeit in the shorter format.

That's why like of Vinay Steyn and Karn Warne get Selected sometime.

Light year difference in technique. Though I obviously didn't see SRT's Debut.

Having watched Sachin's early clips, there wasn't much elegance.
