The Ranji Trophy, 2007/2008

It's started.

The Super League

Himachal Pradesh vs Saurashtra

Mumbai vs Karnataka

Punjab vs Andhra

Tamil Nadu vs Maharashtra



The Plate League

Gujarat vs Assam

Jharkhand vs Madhya Pradesh

Railways vs J&K

Vidarbha vs Kerala

Mumbai vs Karnataka has Dravid playing. He's made a good start by the looks of it.

Woof. Dravid out for 40.

DAMMIT!!

97/4 with dravid out. good effort after being sent in to field

how are raghu and naidu? and of course the sole indian centurion from our last test series is still to bat. so some way to go

quite a new look side for us. extremely interested in rahane, kukreja, nayar and abdulla

189/9 in 91 overs. turgid stuff. need a good strong start tomorrow, with all the unseasonal rain the pitch is expected to break up a lot

You'd think a tail with Joshi and Kumble would wag a bit more.

Kukreja and Jaffer playing well. Kukreja going at a fair rate as well.

Bengal vs Hyderabad

Delhi vs Rajasthan

An unknown person is playing for Bengal right now along with Tiwary. Just shows how badly Bengal were hit by ICL.

Delhi in trouble, 97/6, Dhawan top scoring atm with 35. Really needs to do more.

97/7 now.

Is Ishant injured?

karnataka 195 a/o. bombay 110/0 scoring at a decent clip, things looking good. kukreja impressing once again. need at least a lead of 200-250 on this pitch imo

108/7 at lunch for Delhi against an average attack at best. Pankaj Singh bowled well.

Hundreds for India's future middle order- Raina (187 not out off 198 balls) and Tiwary (116 not out off 138 balls).

K'taka making a strong comeback against reigning champs Mumbai, 1/195 in reply to Mumbai's 337 all out.

Dravid is unbeaten on 77*, which includes 2 sixes.

Raina and Tiwary have identical scores. Saha on his FC debut for Bengal, having been 2nd choice to Dasgupta for some time, has scored a century. And Chawla could really turn out to be the genuine all-rounder we've been looking for.

looks like a draw tomorrow, unless karnataka step it up and set a difficult chase of 175 in 2 sessions, they are not going to get any points anyways. i wonder if we will go for it

Hundreds for two other promising youngsters, Pujara and Kohli. There is a lot of good young batting talent in India at the moment.

Performance in India's FC cricket hardly translates into success in int'l arena, success of some notwithstanding.

On the other hand, Kumble's struggle for wickets (1/90 in 24 overs) doesn't augur well for India for their test series against Pak. While Kumble struggled, Powar (5/69) bagged a bagful on a first day Wankhede wicket.

No it doesnt, but Pujara and Kohli have been prolific at all the age levels so far. Only time will tell if they can step up to the top level.

A century for Dravid.

If Karnataka get a decent lead Bombay will be under the pump in the fourth.

Interesting that Dinesh Khartik didnt open the batting for Tamil Nadu.

For a Englishman you are well informed and follow the domestic Indian scene more keenly than say some of us NRIs.

72 runs in 22 overs by karnataka this morning. seems like they dont want to go for a chance of a win. dissapointing play with 9 wickets in hand and nothing to lose

barring a spectacular collapse by either side this looks like a draw. whats the point system this year? bombay 3, karnataka 0?

Tamil Nadu in trouble. Something seems to be wrong with Badrinath, he's not come out to bat yet. Patel's picked 2 wickets at a low economy.
