This nonsense of sending wicketkeepers to open has to stop. Instead, one of the top teams in a Ranji final chooses to do it. Not surprisingly, a surprise rising delivery by Agarkar has bengal keeper Dasgupta popping a catch to short-leg.
The bounce here has been very low, and that's often resulted in one inside edge too many. Bose has tried to keep a line and length for a long time and move the ball, but with absolutely no support from the other end, he's lost pace and started spraying the ball around. That said, he may get a national call-up given his impressive performance of 53 wickets in 8 matches here, at an average a little over 14. He doesn't have much pace, but then, nobody does. His fielding may not be good enough to make the Indian ODI side, but he's clearly a better choice than Munaf, who's been treated very kindly by the selectors once more.
