Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Pujara finally failed, making just 3 in the one innings against Leicestershire, in which his side took a huge 240-run first innings lead but couldn't bowl the opponents out the second time. But he is still averaging 120 after 8 innings, with this sequence of scores: 6 & 201* (saved the match); 109 & 12 (as his side lost); 203 (big first innings lead as a result, but bowlers couldn't take 20 wickets); 16 & 170* (bowlers failed in the second innings, and the declaration went in vain for Sussex as Middlesex chased down 370 for the loss of 3 wickets); and 3.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Our players need to be playing overseas domestic leagues. But, our head in the sand board, refuses to even allow our up and coming talent to hone their skills.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
The four Ranji quarterfinals are on in Bengaluru -- approaching lunch on Day 2. Two of the pitches seem to be easy for batting, the other two helping disciplined bowling. Mumbai are 436/3 against Uttarakhand, with Sarfaraz Khan on 150* and debutant Suved Parkar on 153*. IPL stars Prithvi Shaw (21) and Yashashwi Jaiswal (35) were relative failures, while Armaan Jaffer made 60.
Bengal are 394/2 against Jharkhand, with 38 year old Anustup Majumdar falling to Shahbaz Nadeem for 117, while Sudip Kumar Gharami (picked ahead of limited-overs skipper Sudip K Chatterjee) on 144*. Skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran made 65, while Abhishek Raman (who retired hurt yesterday on 40) is back at the crease on 53*.
Karnataka were all out for 253 against UP, with left arm spinner Saurabh Kumar taking 4/73 and pacer Shivam Mavi 3/60. Mayank Agarwal (10), Karun Nair (29) and Manish Pandey (27) fell cheaply, while the other opener R Samarth top-scored with 57, and bowling allrounder Shreyas Gopal made 56*. UP have lost their openers and are 30/2. I am curious about the fact that Karan Sharma (a youngster, not the same guy who played a test or two) has been captain of the UP side right from his debut Ranji match. Anybody knows the antecedents of this guy??
Punjab were bowled out for 219, and MP are 56 without loss in response. Kuldeep Sen wasn't picked by MP. Medium-pacers Puneet Datey and Anubhav Agarwal got 3 wickets each. Shubman Gill made 9. Top scorers were Gurkeerat Mann and Anmolpreet Singh with 47 each.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Mumbai declared at 647/8, and Uttarakhand are 39/2 in response. Debutant Parkar finished on 252 (run out). Sarfaraz Khan fell for 153. His scores this year: 275 (against holders Saurashtra); 63 & 48; 165; 153. So that takes his first-class career batting average to 80.43 -- second only to Don Bradman in the history of the game (among all batsmen who have made more than 2000 first class runs).
Bengal made slow progress against Jharkhand, finishing Day 2 at 577/5. Gharami (who had made his debut this season, failed in all 3 previous matches, but was persisted with) ended on 186. 19-year-old 'keeper Abhishek Porel made 68, and Manoj Tiwary a slow 54*.
MP are 238/2 in response to Punjab's 219, with Shubham Sharma on an unbeaten century, and Patidar in now at 20*.
Karnataka are 100/8 in the second innings (leading by just 198 runs with 3 days to go). Saurabh Kumar has 3/32, steadily enhancing his reputation.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
19 year old Harsh Dubey from Vidharbha has been having a great time in chennai league . Left arm spinner scored a century in finals and also took 4 wickets and is a leading wicket getter in the chennai league. Promising talent.
Ashwin playing club cricket in preparation for one off english test (for which he may not even get selected.)

And UP reaches semi against Mumbai after gritty knock from Karan sharma! Two matchwinning knocks in fourth innings in this year ranji tournament , definitely justifying the faith shown by their team mgmt to make him a captain.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
The 5-day format for the knock-outs has ensured 3 outright results, although 2 of them were totally one-sided results. Mumbai beat Uttarakhand by 725 runs (one of the biggest margins of victory in first-class history, although they chose not to enforce a follow-on) bowling out Uttarakhand for 69 in the second innings. MP beat Punjab by 10 wickets. UP beating Karnataka was the genuine shock result, with the second innings overturning the first innings lead for Karnataka (one of the dominant sides in domestic cricket in recent years).
Bengal (773/7d) chose not to enforce the follow-on despite bowling out Jharkhand for 298, and played out a meaningless third innings.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Apparently Bengal created a world record in the first innings. Only once before, in 1893, had the first 8 batsmen scored at least a half-century in a first-class match. Bengal went one better, when all 9 batsmen who batted made half-centuries or more. In the meaningless second innings, Manoj Tiwary (minister of state for sports) found form, making 136 (following 73 in the first innings).

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
BCCI should bring back Duleep & Deodhar Trophy to look into the fringe players who are in India A team radar

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
What BCCI needs most is for ALL players to play in domestic games. India is the only country where our Demi-Gods are above playing in domestics. Only the discards sometimes go to get noticed again as penance. That’s why the domestic matches are currently a waste of time. This is the truth whether we like and accept it or not.
Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Agree. Total waste of time. Also can't sand the stupidity of matches decided on 1st innings lead. This leads to teams with huge leads not bothering to go for a win and batting till day 5 with 800+ run leads! Are there any spectators at these matches?by Atithee » Sun Jun 12, 2022 5:48 am

Also need much better pitches to produce results rather than the batsmen friendly ones that see massive scores. Over the decades, I have seen so many batsmen come into the test team with high batting averages in the domestic matches, yet have poor techniques against quick bowlers.

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Present BCCI administration is too much interested in growing up IPL but none of them have put forward resumption of Duleep & Deodhar Trophy, two most prestigious tournament, served as ideal platform for India A probables in four dayers & Odis. Ranji Trophy & Vijay Hazare aren't enough for qualification to India A. IPL should reach heights but not by giving less importance to domestic cricket

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Looks like Mumbai is well placed, while MP Bengal match is evenly poised with determine batting from Shahbaz and Manoj Towary taking them to 197/5 after being 54/5 at one time.
Very likely that Mumbaiwill win one more Ranji,

Re: Indian domestic cricket/ players
Its not only India, many top players of other countries quit domestic cricket and give importance to fitness and training. Before IPL, system was differant and nearly 80% of the players were seen playing domestic and county cricket. Nowdays, India have quite busy schedule, and Jay Shah was very much clear in the media that they will not compromise with fixtures and will set up two teams, so players will definately think of taking rest during domestic season or when they are playing low ranked sides, but in case of failures like Pujara & Rahane, they will go back to domestic to regain form.Atithee wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 5:48 am What BCCI needs most is for ALL players to play in domestic games.

When it comes to domestic cricket, there is no other way of promotion of teams except first innings lead in preliminary rounds, though playing for 5 days in knockouts is very good step. BCCI should think of making result oriented tracks for Ranji knockouts no matter wheather it can be green top or spin friendly. But the questionable thing is selection of players. They can't select players to India A or Senior team based on Ranji or Vijay Hazare.Duleep & Deodhar trophy played with best domestic players of the season was correct system which has been missing in last 2-3 years. Our test side which has been doing great in last 5-6 years has quality players comming through this system. Suddenly, BCCI is giving more importance to IPL by removing two prestigious tournaments and we are getting players with lots of technical flaws.
