Parthiv playing well again now..
Yeah, was pleasantly surprised to read that in the morning. Good to see that the BCA have got their act together. Of late, pitches have been low and slow and crumble badly towards the end. This must be one of those spicy decks that Motibagh has always been reputed for. Still no f.c. side should get dismissed for under 100 on any strip.Baroda dismissed M.P for just 63 runs.
Probably, but even last year they had quite a few low scoring matches there with a lot of help for bowlers. It was their number 1 strategy, which got them to the finals. The breaking wickets they had helped both the spinners and the seamers, though the spinners more. This year they also have Irfan back so that might have influenced the wicket too, and he has been bowling well from what i have seen from highlights.Yeah, was pleasantly surprised to read that in the morning.

If this deck holds firm, then with the traditional bounce, I wouldn't be too surprised to see the M.P. pace attack have the hosts in some sort of a bother. Including Firdaush Bhaja in the attack was a clear indication of what was to come. The lad's that sort of a nibbly seamer who thrives well in these conditions and it's good to see him do well.
Only, M.P vs Baroda being telecasted in India on Neo Cricket.Btw, are these matches being telecasted somewhere? It's a shame I cannot find a stream.
Looks like a fast bowlers' day out today.. Irfan and co doing the carnage here while the South africans make merry in Cape Town..Probably, but even last year they had quite a few low scoring matches there with a lot of help for bowlers.

That has been true for the past two years. The historical nature of the Motibagh track is quite different from that actually. It's firm, offers real bounce and sideways nip. Not much of a spinner's paradise until the fourth day or so.It was their number 1 strategy, which got them to the finals.

Thanks...Will try to find a stream.Only, M.P vs Baroda being telecasted in India on Neo Cricket.
Yeah,been backing Mukund to be gun for so long now. ****ing selectors should have picked him instead of Vijay in the first place and kept him around the team.Sounds like another awesome knock by Abhinav Mukund. Should be on more A tours and should get another shot at international cricket soon... Think he can and should improve and become a quality player.
When he scored his debut ton,heard that he was pretty highly rated in the Delhi Circuit.Has anyone watched Unmukt Chand bat? Been scoring quite heavily since his debut.
Should have selected him over RP for the England tour. Or even as a all rounder option backup. Though, i understand it was tough to do not having played for a while, but RP was a 95% certain failure.8 wickets for Pathan on his return, not bad at all. Dare I hope?
Nah, Pathan wasn't match fit. A fast bowler who is not fully fit is never worth selecting. Never mind one for who it will be a recall. From reports of forum members elsewhere, he is bowling at just 120kph atm and so cannot be fully fit - he has to be up to 130kph if he wants to bowl in Test cricket imo. I have faith that he can do it though and the strong performance is promising.Should have selected him over RP for the England tour. Or even as a all rounder option backup.
