The state of affairs in the Ranji final is truly depressing. At a time when the Indian batting is getting squeezed by attacking bowling and the Indian bowling, oh well, is getting stretched by positive batting, Rajasthan are playing an overly defensive game, not taking any initiative and merely intent on grinding out the TN bowlers. The TN bowlers are not forcing any chances, and just sending down maidens and dot-heavy overs. You can't build a match-winning Indian side from games like this. There's no way either of Chopra or Saxena would last ten overs of a proper Test match- Chopra's Test career was ended by consecutive hostile spells from McGrath. TN were equally guilty in the semis, as they seemed keen on playing out a draw and taking lead points, when they should have crushed Mumbai outright. And we wonder why Ranji trophy is losing relevance.

Indian domestic cricket at it's worst. If you want to punish a criminal just make him watch Ranji Final live.

Does anyone know how Joginder Sharma is doing with his recovery from his road accident? I haven't been able to find out any updates on-line. Is he likely to play again?

IPL is also having a significant effect, but its a difficult problem to deal with.
Only feasible actions towards development of a stronger long format system are deleting the first innings bonus (which will also have an effect on the nature of pitches), high importance to A-team tours and continued development of infrastructure.

I'd say that one leads to the other though.

Looks like an innings defeat on the cards for Tamilnadu. Failing at the doorstep yet again.

Not necessarily as that just means if you lose the toss you're screwed potentially.

Disagree entirely. The fact that you get a couple extra points for having a first innings lead would not be a problem in the slightest if the pitches were lively enough to ensure you couldn't just bat on ad infinitum.

Yeah its not a problem in the above scenario but its horrible when its a road or when the team only really needs to win the first innings bonus. Its also not ideal when conditions are usually easier first up. I think its got more going against it than for it.

Obviously the combination of the two is a disaster; I was just saying that I think the flat pitches are the root of the problem more than the first innings point. I'm a strong believer in first innings points tbh.

Disagree. I think flat pitches are not as bad as something that encourages winning half the game and throwing the rest.
