That is good I guess, it'll make the batsmen work hard for runs and test their quality rather than the flat roads where the points are decided on the first innings lead.

Rubbish,
Both the teams were happy about the wicket. Then why is there so much noise made about it.
It was turning from day 1 even in the previous game where Railways won against Baroda.
Group B: Baroda v Railways at Vadodara, Nov 14-17, 2013 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
The difference was that Railways planned well and were very patient in their approach.

The reverse will be true for the bowlers. I'm not saying flat tracks are good, but a mix would be nice.

We want all possibilities. Tracks that turn square. Strips that seam on all days. Flat decks that make bowlers work hard for their wickets- the slow-and-low kind as well as the bouncy ones. Pitches whose character change over the game. That way, every player gets both chances as well as challenges, across the season.

How so? He bowled a bit short in the ODIs against West Indies and then overcompensated with half volleys some times.

I meant in the match itself..

Yeah, I suspected I was unclear. I meant is he improved from his bowling in the ODIs and in what ways?

I think just a minor adjustment to his length will turn him into a successful international bowler. That being said, I thought the same about Vinay Kumar.

He was around 130-135kph in ODI cricket. He was more 135+ in IPL (due to shorter spells obviously) and that is the pace at which the success will come. He doesn't need to put on much pace to be much more successful but definitely some, imo.

Also because this was the televised match.

I'm sure people on ICF had seen him bowl and said the pace is fine but he is a bit all over the place. He was poor in the Challenger Trophy earlier in the season too. Seems seriously out of form, probably best to keep him away from the starting XI in South Africa if he is in such bad form.

Saw him in Challengers, looked completely out of sorts. I thought that maybe with some ranji games he will get his rhythm back but it seems he hasnt.
Rasool hits a ton in 101 balls to force a result against Kerala and how many double tons has Pujara already scored in domestic cricket?

@nsniks He already has 9. The most by an Indian is 11, by Vijay Hazare I think. Waddaplayaaaa!

Sehwag out cheaply again. Gambhir trying to hold an end up. Fans wish Gambhir was playing in South Africa- when he couldn't hold up against England at home. This leg of Ranji will be dull. Mumbai missing their top players, Vidarbha missing Umesh, Delhi missing Ishant, but it depends on whom you're following. Rajasthan/MP will be an important game. Jharkhand now as competitive as hosts Mumbai, but a win is still unlikely, and they may drop to the bottom.
